The Most Magical Album on Earth

The Most Magical Album on Earth, released on 24 February 2023, is a fifteen-song, 49-minute set of Disney covers, and it gave Peyton Parrish his first Billboard number one album. Covers are not a sideline for him. He had already taken his first Billboard number one single with "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan, and followed it with "Go the Distance" from Hercules. This record gathers that line of work into one place, issued by Parrish Entertainment in partnership with Noise Machine. The selection is wide: Mulan, Pocahontas, Frozen, The Lion King, Tarzan and Aladdin all appear, and "Hoist the Colours" from Pirates of the Caribbean sits among them as a 1:55 miniature. Kayla King sings alongside him on "A Whole New World." It ends with "Reflection" and then "Go the Distance (Reimagined)" — the song that carried him to number one, remade by his own hand to close the record. One reviewer wrote that his voice is unpolished and raw, in the line of Creed and Daughtry, and granted that the project works anyway.
