Diana Ross and Tame Impala join forces as an unlikely duo for the release of their new song “Turn Up the Sunshine” featured in the new movie Minions: Rise of Gru. The full song dropped on May 19 and the track blends both artists’ talents beautifully while keeping a kid-friendly tone.
“Recording sessions for these were some of the most special and bizarre,” Minions: Rise of Gru Producer Jack Antonoff said. Ross recently had her return to music with a recent album release in 2021 after 25 years in the industry.
“I spent the past year recording new music and this music is a reflection of the joy and the love and the gratitude that I feel every day,” Ross noted regarding this album. “For me there was an urgency in making a meaningful album, working with what is happening now in our world. Through the power of music, we are creating a new kind of conversation that supports our choices and the decisions that we make.”
