Following their presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae, and Octavia Spencer brought up Pharrell Williams, as well as Kim Burrell and Lalah Hathaway, to perform an entire concert of original songs from the upcoming Hidden Figures soundtrack. The songs, as you might have assumed, are joyful, inspiring, and very, very “Happy.†If you were John Glenn and had to hurtle through the dark expanse of space, hundreds of miles above the only home you’ve ever known, a solitary speck traveling in a vast and endless sky, this album would definitely help keep a smile on your face.
