Rihanna Instagram & Hot New Music: 'Towards The Sun' Singer to Feature Song in New Film?
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, Rihanna took to Instagram to announce the release of her new song "Towards The Sun," which will be featured on the soundtrack of her new DreamWorks film, "Home."
MTV reports that "Towards the Sun" is an inspirational song "about turning your face toward the sun and leaving the shadows behind you." Time adds that the theatrical song also features a children's choir.
In addition to having creative control on this new single, Rihanna has opted to have creative control with the entire "Home" movie soundtrack.
"In addition to voicing a character in the movie, Rihanna has rounded up the likes of Charlie XCX, Jennifer Lopez and Kiesza to contribute to that compilation, the first taste of which just surfaced," Time reports.
In the animated film "Home," Rihanna voices the character of the female protagonist, Tip.
Based on the trailer that was released back in June, Rihanna seems to have swapped her Bajan accent for a more Americanized accent in the movie.
"Home" also features the voices of Jennifer Lopez, who plays Tip's mother, and Steve Martin as the leader of the Boov, Oh's alien race.
The upcoming DreamWorks film is based on Adam Rex's novel "The True Meaning of Smekday."
In both the movie and the novel, an alien race named Boov, led by Captain Smek, takes over Earth to hide from the enemies in Space and attempt to make Earth their new home.
During their Earth takeover, the aliens begin to relocate the human race but the main character Tip manages to avoid capture.
As Tip is set to go on the run to avoid the aliens, she is accompanied by an outcast Boov named Oh. The film focuses on Tip and Oh's journey together as they avoid capture and try to save the human race.
"Home" is directed by Tim Johnson and co-written by Matt Ember and Tom J. Astle. The movie is set to hit theaters on March 27.
