Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for West Side Story, plays the chef.

He has labelled it his "most uplifting and raw body of work to date”.

"I had the honour of making these songs with some of my closest friends and I can’t wait for them to be yours," Finneas wrote on Instagram when announcing the album in August.
