Despicable Me 3 follows suit with more original Williams tracks as well as even more licensed bangers of the past, including Nena’s 99 “Luftballons” and a-ha’s “Take on Me.”Įven from the series’ start, the Minions knew it was imperative to get down - a dogma that continues strong throughout the rest of the MCU. Minions introduces a lot more Minions singing covers and originals. The classic sweet floatiness that Williams is known for is infused into the tape, while songs like “Rocket’s Theme” help add sincerity to the otherwise frivolous sequence of gags that is Despicable Me.ĭespicable Me 2 is fairly similar to the first, but it gains a feature from CeeLo Green and more instrumental tracks from Pereira. Williams wrote and performed most of the songs, also enlisting the performances of the Bee Gee, The Sylvers (both pre-recorded), and unfortunately, Robin Thicke.Īside from the blemish of Thicke’s involvement, the soundtrack compels a feel-good time. This original motion picture soundtrack was produced by Hans Zimmer and composed by Heitor Pereira and Pharell Williams. To understand why these OSTs are so potent, we have to go back 12 years into the past, to the launch of Despicable Me, to the birth of the MCU. During this transient martial arts and discotheque adventure, I came to the conclusion that soundtracks in the Minions Cinematic Universe (MCU) have and will continue to always go ridiculously hard. If it’s not obvious from my praise, I unironically had a blast watching Minions: Rise of Gru. Chock-full of danceable throwback covers, the Minions: Rise of Gru soundtrack sieves artists of contradicting genres into a sonic purée that everyone is sure to groove along to. This whole film is powered by a fashionable soundtrack featuring underground legend Yeat ethereal vocalist Caroline Polachek Diana Ross, one of the mothers of Motown and even more. Without silly dances, the Minions are nothing - and there are no silly dances without music. These teensy, yellow malleable orbs have finally found themselves, handily surpassing the hollow shells of their former prototypes in the original Despicable Me and securing an eternal spot in miniature mascot history. The character designs are remarkable - specifically the Vicious Six, a far-out and evil motley crew with a fierce collective sense of style, and the lustrous updated animated look of the titular Minions. For both tracks, the mixing was at its best, and the singers seemed to be coupled perfectly to their respective songs.Yesterday, I saw Minions: Rise of Gru (somehow a day before the worldwide launch), and it was a surprisingly exceptional experience that threw me through a range of unexpected emotions. Though, without question, the two standout tracks of this album are “Desafinado” by Kali Uchis and “Goodbye to Love” by Phoebe Bridgers. Songs like “Turn Up The Sunshine” featuring Diana Ross and Tame Impala were a perfect selection for the Illumination Entertainment movie. Though I was personally surprised by the choice to perform covers instead of originals, there are a handful of covers that are performed beautifully. A few of the artists that are included are Tame Impala, Diana Ross, RZA, Thundercat, Kali Uchis, Phoebe Bridgers and much more. Produced by award-winning pop producer Jack Antonoff, the "Minions: The Rise of Gru" takes a spin on popular 70s hit songs. Without a doubt, the artists that are listed on this soundtrack will leave any listener astounded.
