Walt Disney Records has announced the release of 'Lofi Minnie: Chill' - out now - which contains classic Disney songs reimagined by some of the best artists in the Lofi Hip-Hop genre. It is the follow-up to the 2022 debut LP 'Lofi Minnie: Focus'.
Lofi Minnie: Chill' includes the biggest and up-and-coming Lofi artists, including eevee, Gnarly, Jeff Kaale and many more.
Last year’s Lofi Minnie: Focus emerged to incredible success with over 12 million streams worldwide. The track 'Hakuna Matata' also received 4.5 million streams on its own, and was added to one of Spotify’s biggest playlists ‘Lofi Beats’ which has 5 million followers.
Over the past decade, lo-fi hip hop beats has become synonymous with study playlists on platforms including YouTube and Spotify. The idea of the genre is that it’s supposed to mirror the human heartbeat and chill listeners out, which has since spawned video titles and the meme, ‘lofi hip hop beats to relax and study to’.(Rolling Stone)
Recently, as part of the conscious collaboration with Disney which will also mark International Women’s Month, Stella McCartney created a pant-suit for Minnie Mouse which will debut as part of the designer’s collection for autumn/winter 2022 at Paris Fashion Week this March.
“What I love about Minnie is the fact that she embodies happiness, self-expression, authenticity and that she inspires people of all ages around the world. Plus, she has such great style,” McCartney says of her muse.
Minnie Mouse has quite the enviable wardrobe - with hundreds of outfits after appearances in thousands of comics, several animated shorts and television series, and of course, enough costumes to support her live presence at Disney theme parks around the world.
Minnie’s style has evolved with the cultural changes though British newspaper the Daily Mail argues that “she has also always worn a skirt or dress - and has never rocked pants before this, making her new outfit one that will go down in history.” Actually, Minnie was wearing denim jeans as early in as the 1980s in her own TV Show - ‘Totally Minnie’.
