BIGGEST thank you to the GORGEOUS @SierraNelsonTheSinger for agreeing to voice Tiana in this song! When I first thought about making this song I could literally hear no one else singing her part and you are such a talent! Thank you for singing with me! Thank you also to the musical genius that is Ben Tomalin, you always blow me away with your arrangements! and to @sarahsworks for the GORGEOUS animatic, your art style is out of this world!

✨ TIANA'S VILLAIN STORY ✨

In this story, we follow the events of the film ‘Princess and the Frog’ as they usually play out. Tiana begins the film working hard and finally getting to the point where her dream is a reality with her restaurant finally in her grasp, only for it to be ripped away from her moments later, leaving her back at square one. She attends a party at her friend Charlottes where she wishes on a star and kisses a frog and goes on an adventure with her new friends.

We get to the ending act of the film, and this is where everything changes. Tiana is offered a deal with the shadowman, return his talisman and he’ll grant her everything she ever wanted. She’ll have her restaurant, the dream her father passed down would finally become a reality. All she’s ever strived for would be within her grasp. At this point Tiana is at war with herself, to return the talisman would curse Naveen to a life as a frog forever, but if she didn't take it she might never achieve all she has wanted. In the original tale she refuses the deal, but this is a villain story and she hasn't worked so hard and for so long to refuse an offer that granted her all her heart's desires for a boy.

And so Tiana makes the deal.

She becomes human again and returns home to find a letter letting her know that the restaurant was hers, along with a hefty donation in compensation for any trouble caused. Tiana signs her best friend Charlotte as her business partner and together they build an empire, creating hundreds of jobs and bringing in visitors from far and wide.

Charlotte has always been a kind soul at heart, she feigns a desire for success and material wealth but truly all she wants is for her loved ones to be happy. And so when Tiana’s sights continue to rise and she begins to lose herself to her ambition, hurting those around her to get what she wants becomes a norm. And Charlotte refuses to see her best friend walk any further down that path.

But Tiana is too far gone, her ambitions have blinded her and she needs more. After all, that’s what her father wanted, he wanted her to succeed, he wanted her to build this empire, didn't he? She can’t stop now, not when she has come this far. And so when an offer is made for a new restaurant, 5 times the size of any she's had before, she jumps at the opportunity. And when she was told that making this restaurant would push dozens of families out of their homes? It doesn't even faze her. Tiana won’t stop moving forward and if people get in her way then they’re collateral.

Once you’ve made a deal with the shadowman there is no turning back, and she’s almost there.

Come back next week for another villain!
