Kate Bush will be recording the song Lyra for the soundtrack for the movie The Golden Compass. The soundtrack will be released on December 11, in collaboration with New Line Records.
The song has been written and produced by Bush, and was inspired by the main character of the movie, Lyra Belacqua. The singer worked with the choir from Magdalen College at Oxford, who also participated in the recording of the song.
It is not the first time that Bush does a song for a movie. She also did a song for Cast Away and She’s Having a Baby.
