Ariana will be joined on this project by “Masterpiece” artist Jessie J. The two are no strangers as Grande and Jessie J performed the hit “Bang Bang” together last year. Hit-producing artists Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy, Ne-Yo and Gwen Stefani will team up with Ariana to record new versions of popular Disney songs.
Grande will also be joined by musicians who aren’t from the pop or R&B scene. Country musicians Kacey Musgraves and Rascal Flatts as well as blues singer Brenna Whitaker join Ariana on the album.
