On the same day that Janelle Monae dropped her Rio 2 song "What Is Love," the entire soundtrack to the upcoming animated film has been revealed alongside an official release date.
According to Billboard, though Monae is leading the release, she's nowhere near the only musical star to appear on the soundtrack. Her fellow Rio 2 voice actor Bruno Mars will also appear on the compilation, alongside tracks from B.O.B., Philip Lawrence and Ester Dean.
Monae will play a veterinarian in the film, alongside Mars who plays a childhood friend of Anne Hathaway's Jewel.
The soundtrack will also feature a slew of tropical artists, to help fill out the Rio franchise's sunshine-y theme. 15-member percussion group Barbatuques, Brazillian musician Carlinhos Brown and Milton Nascimento have also contributed to the OST.
The soundtrack to Rio 2 will be released on March 25 and is available for iTunes pre-order now. The film is set to hit theaters on April 11.
