Ariana Grande is collaborating with Stevie Wonder on new song "Faith", which will be featured in upcoming animated movie "Sing". Written and produced by Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco, the track marks Stevie's first contribution to a film in over 20 years.
The release date for "Faith" has yet to be announced, but according to a Republic Records press release, the track will be "available soon." Ariana announced her Stevie collaboration during her appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday, September 8.
Ariana expressed her excitement on working with the music legend, saying, "I'm featured on a Stevie Wonder song, man! That's like, what? I'm done now, I'm good. That's it for me."
She recalled the recording process, "Not only did I get to sing with him, but we were in the same booth, so it was like, me and Stevie Wonder arm-in-arm, holding hands in the booth, singing together, laughing, having a good time. Every time I got comfortable with the fact that I was in a booth, arm-in-arm with Stevie Wonder, he would hit a Stevie run, and I'd be like, 'Oh, s**t, that's Stevie Wonder.' "
Ariana will launch her "Dangerous Woman Tour" on February 2, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Written and directed by Garth Jennings, "Sing" tells a story about animals joining a singing competition. The movie, featuring voices from Matthew McConaughey, Seth MacFarlane, Reese Witherspoon, Tori Kelly, Taron Egerton and Scarlett Johansson, is set to hit U.S. theaters on December 21.
