Right now, Charli XCX’s big cinematic invasion is in full swing. Thus far this year, Charli has already released her Wuthering Heights<\/a> soundtrack album and starred as herself in her own mockumentary The Moment<\/a>. She’s acting in a bunch of movies in various stages of production and post-production, and she’s also helping transform Anne Hathaway into a plausible pop star for her role in the new psychological thriller Mother Mary.<\/p>\n

In Mother Mary, the latest from Green Knight director David Lowery, Hathaway plays a pop star, starring alongside Micaela Coel as her long-estranged fashion-designer friend. The movie features music written by Charli XCX, FKA twigs, and Jack Antonoff, and the trailer<\/a> shows Hathaway’s character singing a song called “Burial” while performing in an arena. That song is out now, and Hathaway co-wrote it with Charli, Antonoff, and Charli’s husband, the 1975 member George Daniel.<\/p>\n

Anne Hathaway is obviously not a singer, but she has a bit of a discography because she has starred in musicals like Ella Enchanted, Rio, and Rio 2. She won an Oscar for the 2012 Les Mis\u00e9rables adaptation, and her rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” was a minor chart hit. None of this would seemingly prepare her to help write alternate-universe pop hits with actual pop stars, but that’s what she’s doing. “Burial” works just fine as vibey dance-pop with heavy Ray Of Light overtones. I’m not convinced that this song could be a hit for an arena-level pop star, but maybe it’s something that an already-established star could release in a mature phase. <\/p>\n

Do you think “Burial” is named after Burial? It’s plausible, right? Below, check out “Burial” and A24’s teaser for the Mother Mary soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Mother Mary opens in theaters 4\/17, and the soundtrack album comes out the same day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Right now, Charli XCX’s big cinematic invasion is in full swing.
