The ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ Resurgence: ‘Saltburn’ Sends 20-Year-Old Songs Back Onto the Charts

Thania Garcia SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending for “Saltburn.” Set in the United Kingdom in 2006, Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn,” starring Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan, boasts a mishmash of indie sleaze and timeless radio hits in its nostalgia-inducing soundtrack, which includes Sophie Ellis-Bextor‘s “Murder on the Dancefloor,” MGMT’s “Time to Pretend” and even Flo Rida’s “Low.” In the past week (the film got its streaming release by Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 22), “Murder” and many of the now 20-year-old singles from the soundtrack have enjoyed major streaming, listening and viewership boosts — reminiscent of the “Stranger Things” and TikTok-driven success of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” Elordi plays the suave and aristocratic Felix, an Oxford University student who becomes the center of attention for Keoghan’s character Oliver. When Felix invites Oliver to spend the summer at his family’s estate, Saltburn, things slowly take a dark turn and Oliver becomes obsessed with overtaking the family’s fortune.

Timothée Chalamet says he’s heard 12 hours’ worth of unreleased Bob Dylan songs

Timothée Chalamet says he’s heard a wealth of unreleased Bob Dylan music in preparation to play the iconic artist in an upcoming biopic.In preparation for his role in the upcoming biopic Complete Unknown, Dylan’s longtime manager Jeff Rosen, who will also be serving as a producer on the film, gave Chalamet access to a 12-hour playlist of unreleased Dylan songs which were recorded between 1959 and 1964.“This might earn the ire and wrath of a lot of Bob fans, rightfully,” Chalamet said in a recent interview with Happy Sad Confused’s Josh Horowitz, “but he sent me like a 12-hour playlist of unreleased Bob stuff from like 1959 to ’64. I feel like I’m holding onto gold or something.”He added that some of the music available to the public via bootlegs like ‘The Minnesota Tapes’.The film is being directed by Le Mans ’66 filmmaker James Mangold and, rather than chronicling Dylan’s entire life and career, it will focus on Dylan’s controversial decision in 1965 to embrace the electric guitar, alienating many of his original fans.Chalamet will be singing in the film and said that in preparation, he has been working alongside the team who assisted Austin Butler for Elvis.The project was announced in 2020, before being delayed indefinitely later that year with no release timeframe shared.

Hipgnosis Song Fund delays financial results over concerns songs are being under-valued

Chic legend Nile Rodgers and Merck Mercuriadis – former manager of acts including Elton John and Beyoncé – and was set to share its half-year results today (December 19).However, it has confirmed that it will be delaying the publication of the results due to concerns that music catalogues and songs are not being valued high enough amid a sale.As reported by The Independent, the UK firm decided to sell just under 30 music catalogues to the sister fund, backed by investment giant Blackstone in September this year.The deal valued the assets at about $418million (£360million), however, this number was down by nearly a quarter compared to the valuation it was given back in March.It came as the company revealed it did not receive any better offers as interested parties “could not justify” a higher price, and also sold 20,000 “non-core” songs for about $23million (£20 million) – nearly a 15 per cent discount on a September valuation.Amid the potential sale, Hipgnosis – which spent $1billion (£720m) acquiring artists’ back catalogues in 2021 – stated that the valuation received from an independent valuer is “materially higher than the valuation implied by proposed and recent transactions in the sector”.As confirmed by the outlet, a spokesperson for Hipgnosis has said that the company has sought advice from its investment adviser, Hipgnosis Songs Management, which gave the board “concerns as to the valuation of the company’s assets in its interim results”.It was also reported that the fund launched a strategic review two months ago, which could potentially lead to the replacement of founder and chief executive Mercuriadis.The half-year results are now expected to be published by December 31.
