Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, Christophe Beck ---- Frozen: original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition)
     I don't know why the hell I got this album. I never liked the songs (I mean the ones with the lyrics), but I loved how it was composed. Beautiful composition work done here, despite me cringing as I listened to Idina Menzel. And by cringing, I meant that in a bad way, like weird chills up my spine (is Elsa mad at me for not liking the album?

), even though they are unbelievably catchy.
     Listening to "Let It Go" for the third time in a row, I noticed instantly the lack of body in Menzel's voice. Call me critical, but that's just my opinion. Her voice was powerful, I have to admit, but it didn't have enough power to really call it a "powerhouse" vocal as some reviewers have stated it. And by power, I meant the kind of power that you could actually feel when listening to, say, Whitney Houston or Adele (what?

). Still, it was a song that I turned out to like, and the chills didn't bother me anyway. 
 
     The rest of the album...I didn't get to listen to yet. I only got this days ago.
