Five years after the success of the series' first installment, that film received a direct sequel complete with quirky musical numbers and intentional earworms, which were compiled on
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
. Highlights culled from the movie include newcomers
Stephanie Beatriz
as General Sweet Mayhem performing "5:15" and
Tiffany Haddish
's Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi doing her best to convince the protagonists that she's "Not Evil." Outside the Lego realm, EDM producer
Dillon Francis
recruits auto-tune croon master
T-Pain
and
That Girl Lay Lay
for "Catchy Song," a bass-popping dance track that delivers on its promise from the repetitive chorus: "This song's gonna get stuck inside your head!"
Beck
teams with
Robyn
the Lonely Island
for the funky jam "Super Cool." More upbeat positivity is provided by surprise guests from the indie sphere:
Matt and Kim
give their quirky all to "Come Together Now," while cross-cultural collective
Superorganism
inject some coolness via "Hello Me & You." While the film topped the box office upon release, the soundtrack broke into the Billboard 200 at number 169. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
