Disney's DCappella Debut Album is Available Today + Tickets On Sale Now for Their Upcoming 2019 Live Tour - #Win 4 Tixs to CT Stop Now + CD! #Disney

Disclosure:  I was sent a review copy from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.




Have you heard about the Disney a cappella group, DCappella? If not, and you are a fan of Disney movies and music from these movies, then you have been missing out.  Last month, I stumbled across a press release for DCappella, and learned how this new a cappella singing sensation group came together.  Disney Music Group did a nationwide search and found the best vocal performing talent in a capella and stage, and the rest as they like to say...was history.



Starting today you can pick up the new Self-titled Debut Album from DCappella, to enjoy.  In addition to this debut album, it was also recently announced that DCappella would be touring North America, beginning in the new year.  They will be making stops in 40 cities nationwide, with their kick off concert on January 22nd in Jacksonville, FL.  I was excited to learn they would be making stops in Boston, MA and Wallingford, CT (keep reading to learn how you can enter to win 4 tickets to the Wallingford stop).  Shh, don't tell my Mom, but I will be taking her in February for a girls' night out to see DCappella.  She was over the other day and listened to the CD with my girls, and was singing along.  When they were done, she was ordering her own copy off of Amazon so that she could listen to it in the car, on the way to work, and during her upcoming  holiday shopping travels.  Knowing that she was a huge fan of this a cappella group, I knew she would love to see them live.  I can't wait for the show. :-)

In regards to the self-debut album, it contains songs from all my favorite Disney movies, including Frozen, Moana, Toy Story and Big Hero 6.  You can see the full track listing in the shared press release below.  DCappella lends their beautiful voices and gives a fresh new spin on classic Disney songs we all love to sing along to including "You'll Be in MY Heart," "A Whole New World," and "Immortals."  

I brought the DCappella CD in the car the other day, and listened with my family as we drove to weekend classes for the girls.  We had so much fun singing "Glory Days" and "How Far I'll Go", along with the other songs.  There wasn't a song on the CD that we didn't like, or want to skip over.  And, when the CD was done playing, my girls were quick to ask me to play it again.  And, you know what, I couldn't agree with them more. This new album from Disney's DCappella group is amazing, and worth listening to over and over again, at home and in the car.  :-)


Like I said, I can't wait for the tour stop in Boston in February, and can't wait for more CDs to be released from DCappella.  Here is more about this a cappella group that lends their voice talents to timeless Disney classics. And, with the holidays fast approaching, this CD, along with tickets to the 2019 DCappella Live tour would both make great gift ideas/stocking stuffers for Disney fans, young and old.

Call me old fashioned, but I simply love all the classic Disney movies, especially Mary Poppins.  There is something about these family favorite movies that will last the test of time, and will continue to adults and children singing songs from these hit movies for years to comes.  Come on, don't tell me that when you hear a song like A Spoonful of Sugar (Julie Andrews), that you don't smile. :-)  Try finding an appropriate lyric in this or other Disney songs -- impossible.  While these songs will not find their way onto main stream radio anytime soon, fans of these movie will have full listening to these recent CD collection releases, while browsing through the valuable documentary content.

I was recently sent the three recent Walt Disney The Legacy Collection CD releases and have been loving listening to each of the CDs in the car when taking the girls to school in the AM. Not only is the music relaxing, but it is a great way to share music of Disney movies I grew up watching and love, with my girls.  I can't tell you how happy I get when I hear my girls singing along in the backseat or asking me to replay a song from one of these CDs.

When I first heard about the upcoming release of the Walt Disney The Legacy Collection CDs, I was so happy, as i would finally be able to add soundtrack CDs to my favorite Disney movies to my growing collection, which I plan to one day pass down to my girls.  I never expected, however, that each of these collections would be filled with so many songs.  Good luck in finding your favorite songs, as they will also become favorites once you start listening to these CDs.

In addition to the above recent Walt Disney The Legacy Collection CD releases, here is the release schedule for forthcoming Walt Disney The Legacy Collection CDs, that you will want to make note of and pre-order now:

Never tell your kids you are getting something in the mail, as they will keep asking you "is it here yet?" :-)  I slipped and told the girls that we would be getting the new Frozen: The Songs CD to review, and they haven't stopped asking or waiting for the mail to come, to see if it has arrived.  Even though they are little, they know all the words to the songs, and could recite the whole movie if I let them.  And, like so many other Frozen fans out there, both young and old, they have to have all things Frozen, including this new CD.  Once it does come, I know what will be playing on repeat in the car, and being cause for an impromptu dance party daily. :-)  So, stay tuned!
