November 16, 2010 – The Soundtrack for the Film Tangled is Released Through Walt Disney Records
“All at once, everything looks different, now that I see you.”
On November 16, 2010, the soundtrack for the 50th Disney animated feature film Tangled was released through Walt Disney Records. The soundtrack was released two days after the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre, and a week before the film’s general release nationwide. The soundtrack includes the original score by Alan Menken, songs from the film written by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, and an original song by recording artist Grace Potter. One song included in the soundtrack was eventually cut from the film, which was the first reprise of “When Will My Life Begin?” sung by Mandy Moore, the voice of Rapunzel. The album peaked at number 44 on the Billboard 200, as well as number 7 on the Soundtrack chart, and number 3 on the Kid Albums chart. The song “I See the Light” was nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and won a Grammy.
