Cinderella Cover Songs of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes”

Of all of them, “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is the most popular and well-known song from the Cinderella movie. This is why this article is focusing on it.

Here are some amazing covers of the ever so sweet song, “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes”.

AnnaPantsu’s cover of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” combines French and English lyrics resulting in a fairytale lullaby. Her vocals and the soft instrumentals are soothing.

This cover of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is unlike many of the soft covers in this article. Shakey Graves gives it a gritty bluesy sound that contrasts the softness of the Disney Princess.

Thomas Sanders, an American singer, actor, scriptwriter and well-known Viner, covers “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” with a deep and jazzy voice, accompanied by pianist, Jacob Fjeldheim.

Bianca Nelwan provides a beautiful cover with gorgeously soft vocals keeping true to the soft sound of the original Disney princess.

This cover is an amazing genre shift in this rock Disney cover. Thomas Traverso provides amazing deep vocals and rock instrumental to the originally soft Disney song.

David Choi‘s jazzy cover of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is simply and utterly fantastic. It features Dylan Wilson on upright bass, Mike Cottone on trumpet, and David Greiman on piano.

Let me know in the comments what your favourite dreamy cover!!
