The 80s-themed 14-track album will benefit amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

"The Time Is Now is a music-driven call to action in support of amfAR's push to end HIV/AIDS in our lifetime," said amfAR producer Andy Boose.

Johansson also lent her vocals to the upcoming film, Sing, an animated musical comedy which co-stars Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, and Seth MacFarlane about a group of animals who compete in a singing competition.

The Time Is Now is available Oct. 7, and Sing premieres Dec. 21.
