X<\/a> about how the collaboration came to be. She said:<\/p>\nI got a call from Emerald Fennell last Christmas asking whether I would consider working on a song for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights. I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.<\/em><\/p>\nA few years ago I watched Todd Haynes\u2019 documentary about The Velvet Underground. As many of you know I\u2019m a huge fan of the band and was really taken by the documentary. One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of The Velvet Underground. That any song had to be both \u201celegant and brutal\u201d. I got really stuck on that phrase. I wrote it down in my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant.<\/em><\/p>\nWhen working on music for this film, \u201celegant and brutal\u201d was a phrase I kept coming back to. One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become \u201cHouse.\u201d When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John\u2019s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.<\/em><\/p>\nWe got connected, we spoke on the phone and wow\u2026 that voice, so elegant, so brutal. I sent him some songs and we started talking specifically about \u201cHouse.\u201d We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was\u2026 well, it made me cry.<\/em><\/p>\nI feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song. I\u2019ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation. And on Monday, it\u2019s yours.<\/em><\/p>\nWuthering Heights<\/em> arrives in theaters on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Fennell\u2019s adaptation of the Emily Bront\u00eb novel stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.<\/p>\n
