It definitely feels as though Florence Welch had a lot of fun with this end of film, roll the credits song for Disney's take on the imagined backstory of the 101 Dalmations villain. While I'm not sure as to how Dodie Smith would have felt about this most un-Disney of tales, a story in which our young anti-heroine enters the world of 1970s haute couture at the bottom and ends up being... well, Vivienne Westwood essentially, but Smith was a woman who knew how to write transgressive female characters, so I'd like to think she'd approve.
This Florence + The Machine track sits on a soundtrack album made up of discerningly picked tracks from the late 1960s and early-mid 1970s, and definitely comes across as the kind of music Welch would have inhaled as a youngster, so it seems most apt that she has penned a track that not only sits very nicely alongside them but also neatly summarises the film she's soundtracking, while also referencing briefly the original Disney 101 Dalmations.
