Singer Justin Timberlake has opened up about curating the soundtrack to the upcoming 'Trolls' movie. 

The star, who recently unveiled 'Can't Stop The Feeling' from the project, told the BBC that he was really excited to work on the soundtrack because he had taken time off from music prior to that to welcome his first child into the world:

"I started working on the music for this movie prior to that [photo being taken], But then working on the music for this movie just got me really excited about being back in the studio again 'cause I kind of took some time off, you know, having a new family member, having a son (Silas). I just kind of took some time off and wanted to just be in that experience."

Along with serving as the executive music producer, he also provides a lead voice for character Branch in the film. He added: "And then this [Trolls] project came along and that was a little bit of serendipity as well, you know, to be offered an animated film. It felt like a job that fell into your lap."

Timberlake also said that both Gwen Stefani and Ariana Grande are set to feature on the film's soundtrack: "Gwen does one that I think I'm actually gonna feature on with her as a duet."
