Minions: the Rise of Gru soundtrack – Full tracklist for animated sequel
The soundtrack sees several big-name artists put their own spin on classic '70s hits.
It's been five years since the Minions last made an appearance on the big screen – but now they're making a return in the brand new film Minions: the Rise of Gru, the fifth entry in the Despicable Me franchise.
This time around, viewers can expect a '70s-set adventure that sees 12-year-old Gru and his coterie of dungaree-wearing yellow accomplices team up for a mission that pits them against a supervillain group known as the Vicious 6.
And judging from the soundtrack list, the film is making full use of that '70s setting – with several modern-day artists such as St. Vincent, Thundercat, and Phoebe Bridgers putting their unique spin on a number of funk, disco, and soul classics.
There's also a brand new single from Diana Ross and Tame Impala – titled Turn Up The Sunshine – while the Minions themselves get in on the action by covering Simon & Garfunkel's Cecilia.
The soundtrack is available to pre-order now on Vinyl and CD ahead of its release on Friday 1st July – and you can checkout the full tracklist below.
