With Disney releasing Pixar's highly-anticipated Toy Story 4 next week, the time was ripe for the Frozen 2 marketing campaign to continue. A Frozen 2 teaser premiered in February of this year and scored a record number of views. Its overwhelming success all but ensured a followup would happen, and that sequel is just a handful of months away from hitting theaters. “Frozen” was a top-10 hit in the official singles charts of these countries:Īnd in the United States, it made it all the way to #2 on the famous Billboard Hot 100 charts.The new Frozen 2 trailer is here, but what song plays during the preview? Back in 2013, Disney Animation scored one of their biggest all-time hits with the original Frozen, which grossed $1.2 billion worldwide and took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It also scored a number one in more than a handful of other countries. Indeed this track charted in nearly 30 nations overall and has been certified platinum in a few also.Īnd it also went on to become ranked amongst Madonna fan favorite and regularly popping on the setlist of her tours. “Frozen” proved to be a major success and worthy addition to Madonna’s catalog. The song topped both the UK Singles Chart and the Billboard US Dance Club Songs lists.
The unique sound of this song was influenced by Madonna’s interest in and appreciation of music from the Middle East, especially Morocco. Also she cited a movie entitled The Sheltering Sky (1990), which itself is set in Morocco, as a further influence.
Madonna and Leonard have co-written a lot of her hits, including: “ La Isla Bonita” “ Like a Prayer” and “ Live to Tell“
The Queen of Pop co-wrote this song alongside Patrick Leonard, whom she has composed a lot of music with throughout the years. And both artists also lent to the production of “Frozen”, in conjunction with William Orbit. Records and a label which Madonna co-founded earlier in the 1990s called Maverick. The companies behind its issuance are Warner Bros. It was chosen as the lead single from Madonna’s hit album “Ray of Light”. This track was made public on 23 February 1998. But at the same time, the vocalist seems stumped as to how exactly to make the addressee soften up. Or she may feel that if he continues to act “frozen”, then the relationship will dissolve on its own.Įither way, it’s clear that such is not what she wants to transpire. So to some degree, what exactly the vocalist is putting forth is debatable. For instance, she may be implying that she has a hard time dealing with the addressee, and if the latter doesn’t change she won’t have any choice but to leave him. Indeed going back to our above presumption, unlike the first verse, from the chorus into the second, the said addressee reads more overtly like a romantic interest. Is the Addressee a Romantic Interest of the Narrator?
So as illustrated in the chorus, Madonna’s goal is to break him out of this gloomy, if you will, disposition. But she is not doing so simply because she feels it’s right. Rather, the vocalist’s own selfish reason for wanting to humanize the addressee is because she feels that doing so would result in their relationship continuing into perpetuity. This person, who for the sake of context we will presume is a male, is, most simply put, cold-hearted, as inferred by the title. And what that seemingly entails more specifically is an individual who is “not open” to receiving love. And concerning the relative deepness of the lyrics, Madonna does allude to why he is that way. For instance, the addressee is not only presented as being pessimistic but moreover close-minded in that regard.Īlso, he is apparently one of those kinds of people who is “so consumed” with generating income that it leaves little space in his heart for anything else, such as compassion.
