You can experience part of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure from the comfort of your own home!
We’re less than a month away from the highly anticipated grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – – and just days away from previews beginning – – and now Disney has released an essential part of the attraction for everyone to enjoy.
On May 30th, Disney released “Special Spice,” the brand new song from Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on streaming services.
The new track was written by PJ Morton, who also produced the song with Brandon N. Caddell, and features vocals from The Princess and the Frog’s Tiana actress Anika Noni Rose. Rose also returned to voice Tiana’s dialogue throughout the attraction.
The track is an exuberant celebration life, featuring lyrics like:
“It’s a joyful celebration!
You don’t need an invitation.
It’s joyful; this band just can’t be beat
because your special spice makes us—
because your unique spark makes us—
because your special spice makes us complete.
Because your special spice makes life complete.”
In speaking about the song on a episode of Disney’s Youtube series We Call It Imagineering, Moore spoke of how excited he was to pen a song for a Disney attraction while riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for the first time. “Just as a kid, I’ve always been inspired by the big songs of Disney. For me and my sister, it started with Little Mermaid, singing those songs. So it’s just always been a part of our lives. I always feel like they were so well written, you know timeless. So as a young songwriter I always said I wanted to write timeless things. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would happen this way. You know an attraction is just such a different thing, a physical thing that lives.”
He went on to talk about “Special Spice itself, saying of the song,“We knew we wanted a celebration, we knew we wanted something that would welcome people in… Honor what’s been there, but you also have to introduce something new and fresh to it. You have to get lyrics that speak to everyone and speak the right way, so it was a fun process for me as a songwriter.”
Rose said of the song, “It’s a free, happy, bouncy song to take you on this journey.”
“Special Spice” follows on the long and proud Disney tradition of new original songs debuting with new attractions, and seemed poised to become a staple of the parks for years to come. Stay tuned to DFB for more coverage of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
