Over the past week, Joby Talbot has been recording his score for the upcoming animated sequel Sing 2. The film is written and directed by Garth Jennings and features the voices of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Nick Kroll, Tori Kelly, Bobby Cannavale, Pharrell Williams, Halsey, Letitia Wright, Eric Andre, Chelsea Peretti and Bono. The movie follows Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers as they prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet and have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star to join them. Chris Meledandri & Janet Healy (Despicable Me, Minions, The Secret Life of Pets, The Grinch) are producing the Illumination Entertainment production. Talbot has previously scored the original 2016 movie and also collaborated with Jennings on such films as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Son of Rambow. Sing 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters nationwide on December 22, 2021 by Universal Pictures.

F*** Me….., can Illumination STOP hiring frequent composers to do music for their movies, the last time they got someone unique was Danny Elfman with the 2018 adaption of The Grinch
After Minions: The Rise of Gru(or Despicable Me 4), no more hiring frequent composers for Illumination
Well too bad they are going to hire them whenever they want to.
