Song of the year, number 5: Florence + the Machine - Call me Cruella (From "Cruella"/Official Lyric ...


The end credits track to that most un-Disney of films, Cruella, 'Call Me Cruella' afforded Florence Welch the opportunity (which she clearly relished) to pen a sort of mission statement for an anti heroine who was both posh and evil, and who had been unleashed to wreak havoc in the staid couture world of 1970s London. The striking resemblance between Emma Stone's pre-transformation Cruella and Welch circa 2008 did not go unnoticed any more than the references to Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen did. A match made in heaven clearly.
