Taylor Swift has a new song for 'Where The Crawdads Sing' movie adaptation
As if the cool trailer for the movie adaption of mystery thriller "Where The Crawdads Sing" wasn't enough, here comes Taylor Swift showcasing a new song.
According to Pitchfork, the new Taylor song is called "Carolina" and it's produced by The National's Aaron Dressner.
"Carolina" lends an appropriate feeling of haunting edginess not unlike "No Body, No Crime" off Taylor's 2020 release "evermore."
In an Instagram post, the American singer said "I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side" as soon as she heard the book was going to get made into a movie.
"I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story," she added, saying she wrote the song by herself and had asked Aaron to produce.
"Where The Crawdads Sing" is a masterful mystery thriller and a best-selling book about Kya, an abandoned girl living in the marshland in the outskirts of a North Carolina town.
Later referred to as the "Marsh Girl," the isolated Kya soon found herself drawn to two young men, Tate Walker and Chase Andrews. It takes a chilling turn when Chase Andrews was found dead, with Kya a principal suspect.
According to Taylor, "'Where The Crawdads Sing' is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago." She's not alone. The book has spent 150 weeks on the best seller list and now it's a movie!
"Where The Crawdads Sing" stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) as “Kya Clark,” Taylor John Smith (Sharp Objects) as “Tate Walker,” Harris Dickinson (The King’s Man) as “Chase Andrews,” Michael Hyatt (Snowfall) as “Mabel,” Sterling Macer, Jr. (Double Down) as “Jumpin’,” and David Strathairn (Nomadland) as “Tom Milton.” — LA, GMA News
