Music has always been a central element of Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe—unsurprising, given that it’s the brainchild of beloved animation songwriter Rebecca Sugar. In the past, the show has treated fans to songs about personal strength, ice cream kitty cats, and the joys of seeing a giant woman, but it’s apparently pulling out all the stops for its upcoming TV movie, recruiting folks like Chance The Rapper, Aimee Mann, and regular cast member (and Grammy-winning singer-rapper-songwriter) Estelle to perform on new Sugar-penned songs for the film. (Oh, plus semi-regular Patti LuPone.)
