Anya Taylor-Joy’s new movie has her putting a very slow spin on a classic.
On Wednesday, the official music video was released for the actress’s cover of “Downtown”, from the film “Last Night in Soho”.
Originally featured in the film’s trailer, the full song is a slowed down, sultry, somewhat sinister rendition of the 1964 Petula Clark hit.
Clark’s version of the song went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003. It has been covered over the years by a wide range of artists, including the Osmond Brothers, Emma Bunton, Yo La Tengo, and more.
Taylor-Joy plays a wannabe lounge singer in 1960s London in the time-shifting thriller also starring Thomasin McKenzie, Matt Smith, Terence Stamp, and Diana Rigg.
“Last Night in Soho” is out in theatres Oct. 29.
