Sofia Carson Performs with the Top 9 on ‘American Idol’
This week, we are so excited to have new music from Lauren Jauregui, who just dropped her new song “Temporary” on Friday (April 30).
Lauren‘s new song is part of a bigger picture, and is a part of Sound It Out, “a national campaign that uses music to help middle school kids and their caregivers have open, honest conversations about mental health.”
“Temporary” is inspired by a conversation Lauren had with a girl named Anna, and speaks to the ups and downs of mental health, as well as “how fleeting your life can feel at any age, and especially as a teenager.”
Hayley has also just released her new track “Found My Friends,” which is about “discovering and nurturing a strong friendship with yourself. This song resonates even more so now with everyone experiencing isolation in quarantine, when we still somehow find the resilience to connect with one another and find comfort in each other,” she said.
Andrew is back with his next single, “New York,” which is “about returning to a place that’s entire identity is infused with a person from your past, and happier times.”
The 27-year-old singer and actress will reprise her role as Evie in the animated special, along with most of her co-stars.
In a new interview with the Zach Sang Show, Sofia shared how hard it was, even though it’s just voice recording, to do it without her late co-star Cameron Boyce.
“I mean, you guys know how much I adore Descendants and Evie, she changed my life forever,” Sofia said. “This is an animation, like an animated special. There was an animated series for Descendants called Wicked World, and um, Disney wanted to do kind of one last chapter and it’s the wedding special.”
