Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff and The 1975 drummer George Daniel are co-writers on a new song called “Burial,” sung by Anne Hathaway for the upcoming movie Mother Mary, in which the Oscar-winning actress plays a pop star.
Hathaway is also a credited writer on the track, along with Charli xcx, who’s married to Daniel.
You can hear “Burial” in a 30-second trailer for the Mother Mary soundtrack, which is due out April 17. The movie hits theaters that same day.
Vogue previously described Mother Mary as “a sort of Gaga–Taylor Swift hybrid” who “has fled her tour and sought out the old friend who helped craft her all-consuming public persona in the first place.” That friend, played by Michaela Coel, is a fashion designer who Mother Mary wants to design a dress for her.
According to Vogue, none of the songs had been written by the time shooting started, leaving Hathaway to play a pop star without knowing what the pop star’s music sounded like. The magazine describes the film as “deeply weird.”
