TWC-Dimension announced today that Grammy award winning recording artists Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani have teamed up to co-write and perform the original song “Shine” for the upcoming family comedy adventure Paddington.
Stefani and Williams previously teamed up on songs including “Hollaback Girl,” “Can I Have it Like That,” and “Spark the Fire.” Pharrell recently received an Academy Award nomination for his original song “Happy” featured in the animated hit from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment, Despicable Me 2.
“Pharrell and Gwen are the perfect artistic duo and they truly brought to life the charm that Paddington represents in the terrific song ‘Shine,’” says Bob Weinstein. “We are so proud to have them be a part of this classic film.”
“What a wonderful opportunity, as a parent, to contribute to something as classic, authentic and generational to all of our lives, as Paddington Bear,” adds Williams.
“I am honored to join forces with Pharrell and be part of bringing this beloved classic to life for Paddington’s next big adventure,” says Gwen Stefani.
Paddington will be released in the US and Canada on January 16, 2015, with a qualifying run this December.
