Feb 06, 2019 Beck By Christopher Roberts

Beck has shared a new song, “Super Cool,” that features Robyn and The Lonely Island. It was written for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, the new animated film that comes out this Friday via Warner Bros. The song plays during the end credits of the film, as referenced by The Lonely Island’s portion of the track. As its title suggests, the movie is the sequel to 2014’s acclaimed The Lego Movie, which prominently featured the hit song “Everything Is Awesome,” which was a collaboration between The Lonely Island and Tegan and Sara (that song is briefly referenced at the end of this song). Listen to “Super Cool” below.

Beck’s last album, Colors, came out in October 2017 via Capitol, but he recently shared another new track, “Tarantula,” which is a cover of a 1983 song by Colourbox and is on Music Inspired By the Film Roma, which is due out this Friday via Sony Masterworks and features songs inspired by the Alfonso Cuarón-directed black & white Spanish language film Roma that is an Oscars frontrunner this year. On Monday Beck performed the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden, where was joined by a backing choir that featured Feist, Alex Lilly, Bat For Lashes (aka Natasha Khan), and The Bird and the Bee’s Inara George. He was also accompanied by the LA Philharmonic, conducted by Philharmonic music director Gustavo Dudamel.
