Jack Black and Dave Grohl Collaborate on New Track for A Minecraft Movie
In an exciting musical reunion, Jack Black has teamed up with his longtime friend Dave Grohl for a vibrant new song featured in the upcoming A Minecraft Movie. As anticipation builds for the film’s theatrical release on April 4, the soundtrack’s lead single, I Feel Alive, has made its debut, showcasing a star-studded lineup.
The track not only highlights Black’s vocal talents as he embodies the character Steve but also features Grohl on drums, adding a dynamic rhythm to the piece. The collaboration extends to other notable musicians, including:
- Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens Of The Stone Age on guitar
- Roger Manning from Jellyfish on keys
- Mark Ronson, the pop sensation, contributing on bass and rhythm guitar
- Danielle Brooks, who plays Dawn in the film, providing background vocals
The film, directed by Jared Hess, brings to life the beloved world of the best-selling video game. It follows four misfits—Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison, portrayed by Jason Momoa; Henry, played by Sebastian Hansen; Natalie, portrayed by Emma Myers; and Dawn, brought to life by Brooks. These characters face everyday challenges until they are unexpectedly transported through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a fantastical realm characterized by its cubic landscapes and boundless creativity.
To return home, the group must navigate this extraordinary world, confronting threats from Piglins and Zombies while embarking on a magical quest alongside the expert crafter, Steve (Black). Their journey promises to test their courage and encourage them to rediscover the unique qualities that define their creativity—skills that will ultimately aid them in their return to reality.
