Anna Kendrick makes an adorable appearance in Justin Timberlake’s new music video for “Can’t Fight the Feeling”, but that’s not the only musical project the Trolls co-stars have been teaming up on.
The film is about a happy troll named Poppy (Kendrick) who must partner with a grumpy troll named Branch (Timberlake) to rescue the members of her village from a unsafe group of creatures. According to the Hollywood Reporter, “True Colors” is featured in the upcoming film, whose soundtrack (which also includes Timberlake’s new single “Can’t Stop the Feeling”) is due out in September. He went on to note that more than nearly any other DreamWorks Animation release, “Trolls” relies on music to drive its story. “My first reaction was, wow really cool and then on the drive home I was like, this seems like a lot of work”.
After yesterday’s pre-Cannes Film Festival stunt for The Angry Birds Movie, today marks another first – and also a last. He will perform the track at the final of the Eurovision song contest, in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday (14May16).
