While the pop star has been [working with Yeezy](http://time.com/3700262/grammys-2015-rihanna-kanye-west-producing-new-album/ "undefined") on her highly anticipated upcoming eighth record, she’s also been [pulling a Lorde](http://time.com/3445344/lorde-yellow-flicker-beat-hunger-games/ "undefined") and curating the soundtrack to the upcoming DreamWorks Animation movie _Home,_ which hits theaters late next month. In addition to voicing a character in the movie, Rihanna has rounded up the likes of Charli XCX, Jennifer Lopez and Kiesza to contribute to that compilation, the first taste of which just surfaced. Featuring a children’s choir and otherwordly atmospherics, “Towards the Sun” is a fitting introduction to the world of _Home_, which is based on Adam Rex’s critically acclaimed children’s book _The True Meaning of Smekday_ about aliens coming to earth.
