The hit TV series “Peaky Blinders” has captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide with its gripping storyline and dynamic characters. From the very beginning, the show has been known for its unique and distinct soundtrack, which perfectly complements the gritty and intense atmosphere of the show. And now, with the release of “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man”, fans can look forward to a whole new musical experience.
One of the standout tracks from the album is “Puppet”, a collaboration between Cillian Murphy, who plays the lead character of Tommy Shelby, and Grian Chatten, the lead singer of Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. In a recent interview with NME, the two talented artists discussed the process of creating this hauntingly beautiful track.
“We wanted to do something that sounded inherently Peaky,” Murphy explained. “We wanted it to have that dark, brooding, and almost hypnotic quality that the show is known for. And when we heard Grian’s voice, we knew he was the perfect fit for it.”
Chatten, who is a fan of the show himself, was thrilled to be a part of the project. “When I got the call to work on a song for ‘Peaky Blinders’, I couldn’t believe it,” he shared. “It’s such an iconic show with such a unique sound. I was honored to be a part of it.”
The collaboration between Murphy and Chatten proved to be a match made in heaven. Their combined talents and passion for the show resulted in a hauntingly beautiful track that captures the essence of “Peaky Blinders”. The hypnotic beat, combined with Chatten’s powerful vocals and Murphy’s spoken word, creates a mesmerizing experience for the listeners.
But what makes “Puppet” even more special is the fact that it was recorded live on set during the filming of the upcoming season of “Peaky Blinders”. This adds an authentic and raw quality to the track, making it even more impactful.
“It was a surreal experience recording the song on set,” Murphy revealed. “We were surrounded by the actual sets and props from the show, which added to the intensity of the moment. It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience.”
And fans can expect more collaborations like this on the album. “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” features a diverse range of artists, including Anna Calvi, Richard Hawley, and Nadine Shah, all of whom have been carefully selected to bring their own unique sound to the show’s iconic soundtrack.
The release of “Puppet” has already created a buzz among fans, with many eagerly anticipating the release of the full album. And with the new season of “Peaky Blinders” just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
In conclusion, “Puppet” is a testament to the creativity and talent of both Cillian Murphy and Grian Chatten. Their collaboration has resulted in a hauntingly beautiful track that perfectly captures the essence of “Peaky Blinders”. Fans of the show and music lovers alike are in for a treat with the release of “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man”.
