Award-winning composer Alan Menken introduces ''Desert Moon,'' a lovely song he wrote with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
I imagine it got cut due to pacing, but Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud sound beautiful, especially with that oud accompaniment.
I actually enjoy it more than ''Speechless,'' the belty, new empowerment ballad that this team wrote for Jasmine.
(Maybe I just have a soft spot for orphaned songs; similarly, I love ''Proud of Your Boy,'' cut from the animated ''Aladdin.'') |
