Don’t expect “Let It Go 2.0” when Frozen 2 hits theaters later in 2019. Star Idina Menzel describes the new songs in the upcoming sequel to be “apples and oranges” when compared with the 2013 film.
“The music is exquisite. I’m really proud of it. I really think that it tells beautiful stories and develops the story in an extraordinary way,” she told IGN at D23 Expo 2019. “It’s not about the comparison. It’s really apples and oranges. I love the music in the movie, that I sing and that I don’t sing, and I think it will really resonate with people.”
The D23 panel debuted a new song for Elsa (Menzel), which sees her grappling with whether or not to pursue a mysterious singing voice that is calling out to her. The lyrics include lines like: “Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake? Or are you someone out there who’s a little bit like me, who knows deep down I’m not where I’m meant to be? Every day’s a little harder as I feel my power grow. Don’t you know there’s a part of me that longs to go into the unknown?”
