Florence + The Machine is on the soundtrack for Disney film Cruella.
Original song ‘Call Me Cruella’ has a little teaser in the trailer (below), and will be released in full on 21st May. The film – which stars Emma Stone and Emma Thompson – will be in theatres the following week.
Commenting on the song and score, composer Nicholas Britell says: “I am a massive fan of Florence’s, so it was a true joy to collaborate with her on Call me Cruella. With both this song and the Cruella score itself, the goal was to really embrace the raw rock aesthetic of 60s and 70’s London. We recorded everything using all vintage gear and analog tape at Abbey Road and AIR Studios in London, melding orchestral elements with electric guitars and basses, organs, keyboards, and drums.”
Florence adds: “Some of the first songs I ever learned how to sing were Disney songs. And the villains often got the best numbers. So to help create and perform a song for ‘Cruella’ is the fulfillment of a long held childhood dream. I’m so grateful to Nicholas Britell and Disney for allowing me so much creative freedom, and for trusting me with Cruella’s beautiful madness.”
