The singers behind Let It Go in 25 languages

If you’re a fan of the Disney movie Frozen, you probably have already seen the mashup of the hit song “Let It Go” in twenty-five languages. (If not, click here to watch it first.)  And if you did, you may have wondered about the women singing– each version is so pitch-perfect that it almost sounds like all twenty-five languages were produced by the same singer.  The truth is that Disney employed many talented singers to record “Let It Go” in 25 languages, and you can see twenty-two of them* in this captivating “behind the mic” video.
