Gru might not always make the best decisions, but at least he has pretty good taste in music. The original soundtrack for Minions: The Rise of Gru is out today, which — in addition to a few brand-new songs — comprises some of your favorite current musicians taking on some decades-old classics.

Produced by Jack Antonoff, the Rise of Gru soundtrack includes Phoebe Bridgers taking on The Carpenters’ 1972 song “Goodbye to Love,” St. Vincent doing Lipps Inc.’s “Funkytown,” Tierra Whack taking on Santana’s 1970 classic “Black Magic Woman,” Thundercat covering Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like an Eagle,” and canonically Los Angelean transplants BROCKHAMPTON putting their own spin on Kool & The Gang’s “Hollywood Swinging.” Brittany Howard, Kali UchisCaroline Polachek, Weyes Blood, and Antonoff himself (as Bleachers) also contribute.

The most notable new song here is “Turn Up the Sunshine,” an unlikely team-up between Diana Ross and Tame Impala that was released as the OST’s lead single back in May. Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Verdine White also have new songs for the film. Stream the Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack in its entirety via Apple Music or Spotify below.

Minions: The Rise of Gru, the fifth film in the Steve Carrell-starring franchise, is out in theaters today.
