Enjoy The Ride Records and Enjoy The Toons Records, in partnership with WaterTower Music, proudly present the limited edition vinyl release of A Minecraft Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring an electrifying lineup of original songs and a dynamic score by Grammy- and Emmy-winning composer Mark Mothersbaugh.
Leading the soundtrack is the high-energy anthem “I Feel Alive,” written and produced by Jack Black, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt. Jack Black delivers powerhouse lead vocals with Danielle Brooks backing him up, with Mark Ronson on Bass, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, Queen of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar and Roger Manning on synthesizer. The song made its debut on March 19, when Black premiered it live on Twitch, filming an impromptu music video in front of an audience of over 250,000 fans.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Black shared, “It was a thrill to collaborate with legendary songwriters Ronson and Wyatt on the final song!”
Ronson and Wyatt also praised Black’s artistry, stating:
“Jack Black possesses one of the greatest voices in all of modern recorded music. From Tenacious D’s debut album to his matchless interpretation of ‘Hanukkah O Hanukkah,’ his voice electrifies the soul and the eardrums. When he first approached us at the Golden Globes in 2023, he told Andrew and I that he had been singing our song ‘I’m Just Ken’ in his head all day—the greatest compliment we could have received. Andrew and I had an incredible experience writing this song with him, and it's one we could have only created with this extraordinary man for this wonderful film. We hope you rock the f**k out to it.”
Beyond “I Feel Alive,” Black contributes to three additional songs that capture key comedic moments in the film. “We had a blast peppering the movie with little musical nuggets throughout our journey,” he explained. “Me and Jared (Hess) went back and forth about song ideas in the weeks prior to shooting, and I’d send him little voice memos. We’d laugh our butts off and shape them to fit perfectly in the film.”
The soundtrack also features:
BENEE performing “Zero to Hero,” written by Bret McKenzie. A longtime fan of both Minecraft and Black, BENEE expressed her excitement: “I’m so excited to be involved in this project. I’ve been a Minecrafter for years, as well as a huge fan of Jack Black. Working with Bret McKenzie has been amazing. He is a musical genius. We met a couple of years ago in New Zealand, and it’s been awesome to finally collaborate with him. I can’t wait to see the final version of the movie!”
Multi-platinum artist Dayglow, a dedicated Minecraft fan, contributes the indie-pop track “Change Song.” He shared, “Ever since I was 10, I’ve loved Minecraft. It’s one of the most creativity-inspiring games ever, so to be a part of its legacy is so awesome. I’m so honored! I hope to inspire people to keep having fun and use their imagination.”
Rock band Dirty Honey’s song “When I’m Gone” embodies Jason Momoa’s character, Garett “The Garbage Man” Garrison. Lead singer Marc LaBelle, who has some history with Black working on the show “Drunk History,” remarked: “To find out that our music would be featured in A Minecraft Movie —alongside two of Hollywood’s biggest rock ‘n’ roll ambassadors, Jack Black and Jason Momoa—is not only an exciting opportunity to introduce Dirty Honey to a whole new generation of fans, but also a full-circle moment for me and my time here in L.A.”
Rounding out the soundtrack is a score by the legendary Mark Mothersbaugh, who seamlessly blends original compositions with tasteful nods to the iconic music featured in Minecraft the game by C418. Mothersbaugh explained: “A Minecraft Movie presented a unique challenge in creating a score that balanced quirky characters with the intense action sequences. The music needed to capture the charm of the characters while also driving the high-energy moments. This required a thoughtful approach to ensure the score not only complemented the film’s action but also added depth and emotional resonance, making it a vital part of the story.”
A Minecraft Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is pressed on 2xLP limited edition colored vinyl, across seven exciting color variants that represent characters and themes from the film, complete with voxel-inspired center labels. Housed in a gatefold jacket, it also includes 12" x 12" double-sided full-color insert featuring art from the film.
