Diana Ross and Tame Impala have linked up for an unlikely collaboration entitled “Turn Up the Sunshine,” which is set to appear on the soundtrack of Minions: The Rise of Gru.

The nearly-four-minute track fuses Kevin Parker’s brand of indie psychedelia and the Supremes’ star’s distinctly rich vocals, creating a catchy concoction with a positive message that’s ideal for an animated film like The Rise of Gru.

Joining Ross and Tame Impala on the soundtrack of The Rise of Gru are a series of surprising names, which include RZA, BROCKHAMPTON, Phoebe Bridgers, St. Vincent, Thundercat, Caroline Polacheck,  Brittany Howard, Bleachers, Tierra Whack, Weyes Blood, Kali Uchis, H.E.R. and producer Jack Antonoff. The upcoming film will be set in the ’70s, and will hear covers of “Funkytown” by Lipps Inc, “Dance to the music” by Sly and The Family Stone and “Goodbye To Love” by The Carpenters.

Stream Diana Ross and Tame Impala’s “Turn Up the Sunshine” above. The Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack drops July 1 alongside the film’s premiere.

Elsewhere in music, the mysterious life of MF DOOM will be the subject of a new biography.
