Queer

Music, Soundtrack, TV & Film

This week the strictly team bring us a review of music of 2024’s Queer, starring Daniel Craig in a portrayal of William Burroughs life in 1950s Mexico. The music played is not of the era or location but used to evoke feelings of loneliness, shame, damaging behaviour and love. Nirvana songs are used a few times with one covered by Sinead O’Connor and then a band called Verdena from Italy who were often compared to Nirvana. We also hear two songs by Prince, some New Order and a cowboy standard from Vaughan Monroe, recorded in 1948.
