On April 12 Invada Records in conjunction with Lakeshore Records will release All About Eve-Original Soundtrack, composed by double Mercury Music Prize-winner PJ Harvey. The 12-track album contains 10 original pieces of instrumental music as well as two new songs written by Harvey and sung by Gillian Anderson and Lily James. Harvey's score for All About Eve, is performed by herself, James Johnston and Kenrick Rowe, and uses Franz Liszt's 'Liebestraume' (a musical element of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's original 1950s classic film) as a musical touchstone, exploring the more somber and deeply psychological aspects of the story. The album is produced by PJ Harvey, with additional production and mixing from Adam 'Cecil' Bartlett.
