Anne Hathaway releases her first-ever official single, 'Burial', for 'Mother Mary' film

Anne Hathaway has stepped into the recording booth with a new role that goes beyond acting. The Oscar-winning performer has released a single titled Burial, a song tied directly to her character in the upcoming A24 film Mother Mary. The track marks Hathaway’s first commercial single and offers an early taste of the film’s musical direction.

 

The song accompanies Mother Mary, a dramatic story centered on a fictional pop icon played by Hathaway. In the film, the character navigates fame, identity, and complicated relationships while living under the intense glare of celebrity culture. 

 

Burial serves as the lead single from the soundtrack album Mother Mary: Greatest Hits. The song was written by Hathaway in collaboration with several figures from the contemporary pop world, including Charli XCX, producer Jack Antonoff, and George Daniel of The 1975. 

 

 

Musically, the track leans into a moody synth-pop atmosphere. The arrangement pairs dramatic vocals with layered electronic textures, reflecting the heightened tone of the story. In promotional clips for the project, Hathaway performs the song as her character, presenting the fictional artist Mother Mary through stylized stage imagery and music-video-style sequences.

 

 

Although Hathaway has sung in film before, including her Academy Award-winning performance in Les Misérables, Burial represents a different kind of musical release. Rather than a traditional film number, the track functions as a standalone pop single connected to the movie’s narrative world.

 

 

The film itself is directed by David Lowery and explores the intense friendship between Hathaway’s pop star and her former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. Supporting appearances from performers such as Hunter Schafer and FKA twigs add to the project’s mix of music, fashion, and cinematic drama.

 

Mother Mary is scheduled to open in limited theaters on April 17, 2026, before expanding to wider release later in the month. The soundtrack album is set to arrive on the same day.

The Loudness Wars - an explanation

Many people not that interested in 'audiophile' music entertainment have been asking me why I do this and why it is that important (to me). To explain this in a simple - easy to understand - fashion is not an easy task.

As I mentioned in 'MY MISSION' statement, the recordcompanies of today have taken over the control of your volumeknob. This is something that might sound like a scary conspiracy theory with me being the prophet of doom and terror. (well, partly it is something like that - LOL) But seriously, it's more true than you probably can and/or would like to imagine. Because of competition these companies want to outshine each other and there's nothing wrong with that.

But what is wrong is that the balance of what is justified or even fair is leaning in the red zone. Through advanced compression techniques it is possible nowadays to make music sound louder than ever before. Sadly the quality and enjoyment levels drop because of this. Up until a couple of years ago it was just a matter of taste and though some releases were a no buy candidate for me personally, there was nothing really wrong with this practice. Besides, most music NEEDS some percentage of compression to be enjoyable in an average home environment.

Sadly, in 2009 the level of compression and therefore distortion on most products found on the shelves in stores has reached a point that, besides the fact that some albums are unbearable to listen to for a prolonged period of time, (and I'm NOT kidding here) governments are making plans to execute laws that tell your playing device that it cannot go louder as a certain defined level of decibels. Administers of the governments are afraid 15 year olds will fry their brains because of too loud music enjoyment.
(I've often seen red colors in my adolescent years because of playing my music too loud but at least I knew when to stop and appreciated the dynamics in a smaller range too - I had a choice!)

That's what this is about, choice! Kids nowadays don't really have that choice anymore. (Almost) all of the music available today is too loudly mastered to begin with, so they mostly don't know what dynamics are and what it's like to experience it.

To make things even easier to understand, look at this brilliant short documentary film on the subject, I cannot make it more clear than that...

Loudness War - The Movie

With each passing year records have gotten louder and less dynamic. This brilliant video by Matt Mayfield dramatically demonstrates the effect this evolution is having on the music.
