When The Great Gatsby was released last year in May, the soundtrack seemed to be the most popular part of the entire project. And overall, we all remember the chilling ballad of "Young and Beautiful" by the one and only Lana Del Rey. It added such incredible depth to what would've been just a generic love scene. But her unique and dark vocals saved the movie and, in fact, made it one of the most celebrated movies of the year. Not in the critical sense, but just that it was different from anything we'd seen.
And now we have the trailer for Maleficent, the upcoming summer movie based on the villain's side of Sleeping Beauty. Think Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland...one of those dark fairy tale adaptions. And what more of a perfect vocalist to do a dark and chilling ballad than Lana Del Rey?
The song Once Upon a Dream is absolutely incredible. It fits the film's tone so well and will definitely add to the story. I feel like I can already tell how the movie will play out based on this song alone. It leaves an air of mystery to it as well, like every good ballad should. I was already excited for the movie because darker adaptions of fairy tales have proved to be successful and wildly entertaining, and now they topped it off with the perfect theme song for it. Now we just wait until May to see how the story will play out with it.
