A<\/span>s the camera sweeps over a glittering party scene in Emerald Fennell\u2019s sensation Saltburn \u2013 the one where Barry Keoghan sports antlers and Jacob Elordi wears angel wings \u2013 we hear the shrill hook of Mason and Princess Superstar\u2019s \u201cPerfect (Exceeder)\u201d. “1-2-3-4, let me hear you scream if you want some more!” \u2013 the lyrics, paired with the heavy punch of the beat, gesture toward the film’s depictions of bacchanalian excess. Soon after the film\u2019s release, the 2006 dance classic shot back into the UK and US charts, while on Spotify, the number of monthly listeners for Princess Superstar jumped almost overnight from 600,000 to nearly six million. On TikTok over 30,000 videos featuring some version of the song were created, contributing to such a surge in popularity; in the digital age, the precision strike of a perfect music cue holds more power than ever.<\/p>\n

Kirsten Lane, Saltburn\u2019s music supervisor, was already a seasoned professional across the landscape of British film and television, working on projects with such mainstays as Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis. Still, she saw her position soar to new heights of salience with the film\u2019s viral needle drops, which also included more mainstream highlights of the mid-noughties like MGMT\u2019s \u201cTime to Pretend\u201d and \u201cMr. Brightside\u201d by The Killers. \u201cThe labels and the publishers are super excited when they\u2019ve got their artists in a film,\u201d Lane explains, as much of her role consists of liaising between the film\u2019s production and the record labels who hold the rights to the music. \u201cThey’ll see it as their film. They get just as excited about the placement as the director. Everybody likes to feel that they’re a part of the process, and understanding that is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n

The music of Saltburn serves as its pulsating tonal throughline, irresistible as a club banger and just as electric, while still managing to fix the film\u2019s highly specific sonic landscape. The capstone cue of the film, Sophie Ellis-Bextor\u2019s \u201cMurder on the Dancefloor\u201d proved to be its most popular \u2013 over 20 years after the song\u2019s initial release, Ellis-Bextor performed the song for the BAFTA\u2019s 2024 ceremony, with a slew of gigs lined up across North America. \u201c\u2018Murder on the Dance Floor\u2019 for instance, was scripted, right at the very beginning,\u201d Lane says. \u201cDirectors like Emerald, they’re very musical people. That’s part of their whole process. It’s certainly not my place to come in and rip it all out and say, oh, you can’t have that, you should do this. That\u2019s not my job. My job is to make their dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a romantic notion, the idea that the role of a music supervisor is one of complete freedom, with the ability to choose individual songs and cues for a film\u2019s soundtrack at a whim. The reality is more complicated, and collaborative. \u201cProbably 90% of a music supervisor\u2019s job is coordinating the clearances and licensing,\u201d Lane admits. \u201cGetting everybody on the same page and getting everybody to agree.\u201d The construction of Saltburn\u2019s soundtrack, for example, was largely based on Emerald Fennell\u2019s own playlists from her time at Oxford University. When specific tracks were too expensive to license or the rights proved too difficult to clear, it was Lane\u2019s job to suggest an alternative which captured the same tone necessitated by the script.<\/p>\n

Despite such an emphasis on logistics, there is space for Lane to explore the creativity of the role. \u201cIf there are no music references in the script at all, it’s up to me to figure out: okay, this is a montage sequence, this is a key moment, this is a moment of comedy, a moment of drama, a moment of sadness,\u201d she says. \u201cI have to decide, does it need to be something that is well known? Or something that’s a hidden gem, that no one\u2019s heard of before?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Lane has been in the business since before the idea of the music supervisor existed; when she first entered the industry in the nineties, the job usually fell to a production assistant tasked with tracking down the rights to music. It was Lane and her boss at Polygram Records who together set up the first department dedicated to film and television within the record label, actively pitching the label\u2019s catalogue to productions ranging from television to film to advertisements. Guy Ritchie\u2019s Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Roger Michell\u2019s Notting Hill served as breakthrough films for the budding position. Soundtrack coordinator, music consultant, music licensing coordinator \u2013 these credits served as the earliest versions of what is now understood to be the broader role of music supervisor. Lane has since worked with some of Britain\u2019s most established filmmakers, including Edgar Wright, Joe Wright, Autumn de Wilde, and now Emerald Fennell.<\/p>\n

Sitting at the opposite end of the tonal spectrum, Andrew Haigh\u2019s All of Us Strangers featured several key moments where music served an important thematic role \u2013 so important that specific tracks were featured in the script, and therefore needed to be cleared by music supervisor Connie Farr before production began, and before any major names had been attached. \u201cThe Power of Love\u201d by Frankie Goes to Hollywood provides emotional bookends for the film; upon the initial meeting between Andrew Scott\u2019s Adam and Paul Mescal\u2019s Harry, the song plays faintly in the background as part of a \u201cTop of the Pops\u201d episode. \u201cThere’s vampires at my door,\u201d whispers a drunken Harry in the scene, paraphrasing the song, before turning away. Both instances of the song\u2019s usage had to be cleared by the rights holders.<\/p>\n

Connie Farr has spent most of her career working with independent filmmakers, including with Clio Barnard on Ali & Ava and Sarah Gavron on Rocks. Independent film means smaller budgets and less money to license major needle drops. Before putting together the soundtrack for Rocks, Farr interviewed the main actors and their parents, trying to find the right songs which might feel organic to the characters. \u201cI had to try and predict, with the help of the rights holders, what might be big,\u201d Farr explains. \u201cI mean, we chose Little Simz, Ray BLK, Mae Muller, Kokoroko \u2013 and we were really trying to get these teenage girls to respond to the music, but they would say, \u2018I don’t know it, never heard of it.\u2019 That was the real challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magic of Rocks was a certain intangible element of authenticity \u2013 the girls were not professional actors, and much of their rapport resulted from ad-libbed moments. During one scene, they reference a meme<\/a> which samples a sermon by Shirley Caesar, a gospel singer based in North Carolina. As the film\u2019s music supervisor, Farr had to find a way to contact Caesar directly in order to license the song; eventually, the production made a donation to her church. This is the kind of creative problem-solving which appeals to Farr.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think of it like a triangle. You\u2019ve got to be flexible on either budget, creativity, or time. If you’ve got all the time in the world, I feel quite comfortable and confident, because there’s so many problems that can come up,\u201d Farr says. \u201cYou’re helping someone facilitate their vision, but at the same time, I’m quite a big fan of independent labels and publishers and I really push for an independent alternative when I can. It’s so exciting when you get to pick some really obscure music.\u201d<\/p>\n

When working with these hidden gems, not every needle drop results in the same viral resurgence as \u201cPerfect (Exceeder)\u201d or \u201cMurder on the Dancefloor.\u201d After \u201cThe Power of Love\u201d appeared in All of Us Strangers, the song didn\u2019t climb back into the UK charts. Teenagers didn\u2019t clip it into dance remixes on TikTok; Holly Johnson didn\u2019t perform it at a high-profile awards show this year, 40 years after the song\u2019s initial release. However, as the camera slowly pans out on Adam and Harry together, and the edges of the frame fade into an ether-black nothingness, it is the song which signifies one of the most powerful moments of the film: \u201cLove is the light scaring darkness away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
