Anya Taylor-Joy Performs Two Very Different Covers Of ‘Downtown’ For ‘Last Night In Soho’

Petula Clark had a number one hit in 1965 with “Downtown,” a song that has since been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Dolly Parton, from Yo La Tengo to former-Spice Girl Emma Bunton, from Winona Ryder in Girl, Interrupted to Anya Taylor-Joy in Last Night in Soho. The Queen’s Gambit star’s cover, which soundtracks the haunting trailer to Edgar Wright’s new film, has been released as a standalone music video.

Taylor-Joy actually performed two versions of “Downtown,” one that’s uptempo, the other downtempo (that’s the one with the music video). Pick the cover that most matches your mood — for instance, if you just watched The Witch, maybe stick with the downtempo.

“It’s not every day you’re asked to record several versions of an iconic song,” Taylor-Joy said about covering Petula Clark. “The sounds of the ’60s was what first made me fall in love with music so I was overjoyed when Edgar asked me to give it a go.”

Here’s more on Last Night in Soho:

In acclaimed director Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller, Eloise, an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.
