We know they have a recorded a song together, but a whole album!!!.
It would be wonderful if it would be a full album, though it seems more likely that it will include their one song collaboration "Turn Up The Sunshine" -- but we'll find out soon. It is definitely creating a buzz online.
It seems now to have been confirmed that it is just the one song which will be featured on the soundtrack of the new Minions movie.

Great news! I was thinking the same. My husband also mentioned that perhaps the song could also be eligible later on for an Oscar nomination [I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but it's a nice thought]! The movie is due to premiere at a film festival in June, ahead of its theatrical release, so I'm sure we will be hearing the new song anytime in the next few weeks :)
This has not been confirmed but I did notice that there is a second Record Store Day drop on Sat June 18th, for any releases that were originally scheduled for the first drop in April but were delayed. I remember that Diana's collab with Tame Impala was originally due for release as a 45 rpm vinyl single for Record Store Day in April...so perhaps that vinyl release will still be coming in June?
Let’s just hope it’s a really good song.
Disco icon Ross’ joint track with Tame Impala – aka Kevin Parker – is described as a “joyous, dance-inducing” number that will serve as the first taste of the project. It’s due for release next Friday [May 20].
More info on the Minions 2: The Rise of Gru soundtrack, at the link below. The full soundtrack is being released July 1st in a number of formats, including coloured vinyls and picture discs.

Produced by Jack Antonoff, the star-studded 19-song album also features the likes of St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Brockhampton and Antonoff’s band Bleachers. The record is set to arrive on July 1 via Decca to coincide with the movie’s global theatrical release [[pre-order/pre-save here). Gonna be huge,

Due out this Friday.
All this time this seemed like an internet rumor to me. With this latest link, it seems legit now. Diana teaming up with Jack was a great career move. Now for some fun….. can you imagine if she gets a song writing credit on this, then it gets nominated for an academy award and she gets an “Oscar”?
Turn Up the Sunshine is written by Jack Antonoff, Sam Dew, Patrik Berger, and Kevin Parker. Jack Antonoff posted about the new track and the forthcoming soundtrack on his Instagram today. You can find the post at the link below, which includes a photo of Diana during the sessions, along with a video teaser of the sessions [swipe to view], in which you can hear a preview of the track. Diana sounds awesome! It sounds like a fun and funky song. It looks like Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire also played on this track.

I can't see Diana or hear anything!
Thanks Carlo. Seems as if Diana is not one of the songwriters…so no Academy award for her lol. But back to the song, as I said earlier, her collaborating with Jack was a great decision.
She seems to be getting more media interest from this one song collaboration then when she released the “Thank You” album.
hi Carlo, thanks for the info.! [[but I also saw no Diana pic or clip of the song, really disappointed, but his post is great!)
For those that can’t see the picture or hear the song. All you have to do is swipe the screen. There are a few slides.
Edit to add: sorry, that’s what I do on my phone. Not sure how that works on a computer.
Great news. Looking forward to this new song.
Diana has posted the snippet on her Twitter feed and confirmed the May 20th release date. The snippet sounds great. Hope it is added to an expanded release of Thank You to coincide with the UK your.
Diana’s on fire in that short audio clip. Did she finally connect with the right people to make quality music? It has been many decades……
This snippet sounds better than anything on "Thank You."
Hopefully if the song takes off, it might ignite renewed interest in the “Thank You” album.
I wonder if she has any UK tv show appearances lined up this summer?.
Thanks for the heads up on the clip posted to TikTok. I didn't realize that there's a different, much longer snippet on there. I don't have TikTok but managed to find it via a Google search. Here is the link for anyone interested in hearing a longer audio clip. Sounds awesome! Press or click the play button on the cover art for the track...

I am far from being all tech savvy but I think if you have Facebook, you can sign in TikTok. When your on the login screen for TikTok, you select sign in using Facebook [[if that makes sense). I searched for Diana Ross and then clicked on “sounds”. If you scroll down you will see the new song. It’s a full minute clip.
Whoa ohh oh
you got the best of my love
Soooooo I woke up this morning and can’t find this on U.S. Apple Music at all. What’s the story?
