A Whole New World
"A Whole New World" is the signature song from Disney's 1992 animated feature film Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice.[2] A duet originally recorded by singers Brad Kane and Lea Salonga in their respective roles as the singing voices of the main characters Aladdin and Jasmine, the ballad serves as both the film's love and theme song.Lyrically, "A Whole New World" describes Aladdin showing the confined princess a life of freedom and the pair's acknowledgment of their love for each other while riding on a magic carpet.A single version of the song was released that same year and was performed by American recording artists Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle.A melodic tour de force with wide ranging appeal, it is wisely tipped as the Christmas number one.
