What can’t Jack Antonoff do?
Another day, another hit from the Despicable Me franchise. On July 1, the animated Minions: The Rise of Gru movie was released in theaters. Jack Antonoff helped make an absolute banger of a soundtrack. Obviously, Twitter can’t get enough of it.
Phoebe Bridgers delivered a bittersweet cover of The Carpenter’s ballad, “Goodbye to Love.” Honestly, I didn’t expect for her to leave me this teary-eyed on a workday afternoon, but I’m here for it.
When Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) recently yelled “This is music!” on Stranger Things, he surely wasn’t talking about the Minions soundtrack. But in this case? I certainly am.
I love that Tierra Whack flexed her writing pen on this soundtrack. Come to think of it, I need to add her cover of Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” to my summertime playlist.
Mood: Currently me listening to Thundercat’s dreamy rendition of the Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like an Eagle.”
