A new collaboration between Jack Black and Dave Grohl will be featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming live-action Minecraft film. The original song is titled,“I Feel Alive,” and it features Black – who is also a cast member in A Minecraft Movie – on lead vocals and Grohl on drums. The ’80s-inspired track was penned by Black, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt, with additional vocals provided by fellow cast member Danielle Brooks, and guitar by longtime Queens of the Stone Age member Troy Van Leeuwen. This new project marks the latest in a long series of collaborations between Black and Grohl, who previously worked together on Tenacious D’s 2001 self-titled debut and 2018’s Post-Apocalyptico, along with a variety of live and studio link-ups. A Minecraft Movie is set to hit theaters on April 4th, and will also feature an original score by DEVO’s Mark Mothersbaugh. Black is also set to host Saturday Night Live on April 5th, while Tenacious D remains on hiatus. (Consequence of Sound)
