Earlier this week, posters teasing a collaboration between Diana Ross, Tame Impala and producer Jack Antonoff were spotted around London.
In 2021, People reported that Jack Antonoff would be responsible for a “1970s-inspired” soundtrack for the upcoming Minions film sequel Minions: The Rise Of Gru.
The poster is very 70s-inspired and has lots of colourful cartoon imagery alongside the slew of A-list names, and a small cartoon 'Minion' from the Despicable Me movie franchise is visible in the poster next to Diana Ross' name.
