Timberlake “Trolls” Soundtrack Features Duet with Gwen Stefani, and Anna Kendrick with Another Cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence”

Share

All summer long, Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Fight the Feeling” has been number 1 and ubiquitous on the dance floor. The song comes from the “Trolls” soundtrack, which will release this fall.

Now Timberlake has released the track listing for the “Trolls” CD, and we see a lot of things. First of all, co-star Anna Kendrick is really singing a lot. Anna covers Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence” (which was already revived once this year on the charts by The Disturbed), plus she joins Justin on four tracks. Timberlake has no other solo tracks, but he joins in with the others and has a duet with Gwen Stefani called “What U Workin With?” Also, there’s a remake of Earth Wind and Fire’s “September” with the group plus Justin and Anna. Also it seems like Ariana Grande covers “They Don’t Know,” a hit for Tracey Ullman years ago and for Kirsty McColl. Zooey Deschnanel supplies a song called “Hello,” which hopefully is not an Adele cover.
