The spain version sounds better and has a flamenco sound in the voice
I wanted Nia Correia as the spanish dub, she's half black and she's fully North african, from the Canary Islands, born and raised, her mother is canarian and they are indigenous amazigh (like Asha)
Made much more sense
Edit: I forgot that Ana Guerra is canarian and so she's guanche aka Amazigh like Asha too

Well, Ana Guerra will only perform the end credit song and a version of "This Wish;" we still don't know who will voice Asha in the dub for Spain. It might still be the one you wanted.

I don't hate the new music, and I actually quite enjoy "This is the Thanks I Get," but I don't think that Michaels and Rice serve what I value in a musical soundtrack. The lyrics skip over "universal" and slide more into "generic" to me. Like "This Wish" doesn't read like a tribute to or evolution of past "I Want" songs so much as a homogenized smoothie of them. "Welcome To Rosas" feels purely expository where "Circle of Life," "Belle," "Some Things Never Change," or "Where You Are" did a better job at also introducing themes or conflicts. There's a chance I'll enjoy the numbers more when paired with the animation and whatnot, and if even one more song matches "This is the Thanks I Get," then this movie will have offered me two new Disney jams that I unambiguously like, which is an ample serving.
I do think that Alan Menken is always in season, but it's especially weird to me that they didn't bring him back for their centennial film. Surely there is no one more qualified to write the ultimate Disney soundtrack.
What I actually think would have been especially neat for this specific film would have been to enlist all the major songwriters who've written for Disney for Disney (Menken, Pasek & Paul, Miranda, the Lopezes, etc), each team writing a different number. Could there have been a better tribute to Disney animation than a soundtrack with contributions from anyone who's written for Disney over the last fifteenish years? (I might even allow them to bring back Newman, whose contributions I didn't really care for.) Yeah, the logistics of rounding them all up for one creative project probably would have been a nightmare, and then you have the politics of "Whose song gets to be our Oscar song?" But ... I still can't let the idea go.

I mean Alan Menken was working on the music for the live-action Little Mermaid at the time with Lin-Manuel Miranda. Pasek and Paul were doing the new songs for Snow White. The Lopezes were and probably still are brainstorming ideas for Frozen 3. And Randy Newman was and now probably still is working on new music and songs for Toy Story 5. And I'm not sure if Phil Collins was doing his own thing and isn't interested in working with Disney right now. So I feel like Disney had to think outside the box and go with Julia Michaels & Benjamin Rice.

Judging by all the songs released so far and preview of the other one, I think What we know Now is probably my favorite. The lyrics seems to flow well and her voice is not over powering like in This Wish. The drums playing in the background makes the song very catchy and fun to listen to.

"Knowing What I Know Now" will be released on the 15th, while the song released this week will be "I'm a Star", which was supposedly said to be a really fun and memorable song.

I’m getting a feeling of “When Will My Life Begin” from Tangled in the instrumental presentation of this song.

Well, looks like SAG-AFTRA and the studios are once again still struggling to reach a fair deal and the stars won’t be able to promote Wish.
Looks like it’s up to me now to take matters into my own hands to get more marketing and awareness for the movie raised.
How?
Simple.
Dress up as Star in Times Square in New York City in Times Square and try to have a photo or photos taken with NYC pedestrians.
That’s what gets awareness raised.
Costume characters.

Um, all I can say is stay safe and do your research:

I read the article and I'm not going there to make money, just to spread awareness of the movie.

First official clip of Wish with our first listen of “I’m A Star”:

Possible Trigger Warning: be wary of brief butt/fart joke, even though Disney did sort of subtle butt jokes before back in 1977 when Rabbit decorated Pooh’s butt in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

The video on that website is lagging so here's a direct link to "I'm a Star" preview:

Lovely visuals (which makes me wonder if nighttime scenes will make the animation feel less jarring), but I don't what to make of the song.

My gut reaction to "I'm a Star" was shock and dismay lol, but after a few listens I can appreciate its hook. They should probably stop comparing these songs and sequences to "Under the Sea" and "Be Our Guest" (as they did in that USA Today article) because they're obviously going for something more pop and mainstream-sounding. I have to remember today's audiences made "Peaches" from Super Mario Bros. a hit, and at least these songs are better than that. The songs so far are cute enough but lack that classic Disney magic they keep insisting was their creative inspiration.
I do love the visuals though - the nighttime scenes really pop with color.
