Lana Del Rey and Her Version of Once Upon a Dream

It's haunting, scary and beautiful and it's perfect for the upcoming Disney movie "Maleficent" starring Angelina Jolie. This was from the original Sleeping Beauty animated flick and is also the love song for Aurora and Phillip.

I could probably chuck in a few more adjectives to describe this track but I won't waste your time because I know you'll probably abuse the repeat button on this one. Reminds me of Lana's last OST which was "Young and Beautiful" for Warner's The Great Gatsby.



Maleficent also stars Sharlto Copley and Elle Fanning. Opens May 30, 2014

A Cool Lineup for The Great Gatsby OST featuring Florence + The Machine and Jay-Z

“The Great Gatsby” writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann and collaborators Shawn “JAY Z” Carter, an executive producer on the film, and Anton Monsted, its executive music supervisor, revealed the lineup for the movie’s soundtrack which encompasses the broad spectrum of musical styles represented in this energetic re-telling of the classic text. The joint announcement was made recently by Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Music Group’s Interscope Records.

Drawing on his unique and unrivalled position in popular culture, JAY Z (with collaborator and the film’s executive music consultant Jeymes Samuel) has worked with Luhrmann and his team on the project over the past two years, translating the Jazz Age sensibility of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel into the musical equivalents of our own times, through the blending of hip-hop, traditional jazz and other contemporary musical textures.

Luhrmann stated, “F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is peppered with contemporary music references specific to the story’s setting of 1922. While we acknowledge, as Fitzgerald phrased it, ‘the Jazz Age,’ and this is the period represented on screen, we—our audience—are living in the ‘hip-hop age’ and want our viewers to feel the impact of modern-day music the way Fitzgerald did for the readers of his novel at the time of its publication.”
