Considering the success Pharrell Williams had with the “Despicable Me 2” song “Happy” it’s no surprise that he’s contributing a tune to the film’s next installment, “Despicable Me 3.” In fact, he’s contributing five new songs to the soundtrack, and the first one has just been released.
The new tune us called “Yellow Light,” and the video features Pharrell and the film’s lovable minions, and ends with the singer in a dance off with the movie’s new villain, Balthazar Bratt (voiced by “South Park’s” Trey Parker)
