Florence and the Machine recorded new song Breath Of Life for 'Huntsman' Soundtrack

Meanwhile, singer Florence Welch took an interview with MTV News and talked about her inspiration – Queen Ravenna played by Charlize Theron - for the 'Huntsman' soundtrack.

The rock and soul band, Florence and the Machine which were recently nominated for Best New Artist at 53rd Grammy Awards have recently recorded a new song for the Soundtrack of the upcoming movie Snow White and the Huntsman called Breath Of Life. It is yet to be release, but according to Universal, we learned it's one of many songs featured on the soundtrack and comes backed by a full orchestra and choir.


Meanwhile, singer Florence Welch took an interview with MTV News and talked about her inspiration – Queen Ravenna played by Charlize Theron - for the Huntsman soundtrack:


"The Queen is just this incredible character; so hungry for life but so dead inside. She's sort of eternal, but inside there's nothing. She's kind of like charcoal or something. She has this thirst for youth and for life, but for what kind of life? This darkness, but she's so beautiful, so it's this kind of juxtaposition between beauty and, ultimately, death."


Welch also spoke about the band's recording sessions for the track and revealed that she "almost cried" during the making of Breath Of Life.


Speaking about the track's recording, Welch said: "We went in and demoed the track, these big, clattering drums, huge bass sounds and everything was very intense and then we sent that to the guys in LA who composed it. And it was amazing to see the music we played being turned into this amazing orchestral thing."


She continued: "You feel in a bit of a way like you're kind of making it up as you go along, and then when you see it done, laid out before you in such a beautiful, orchestral fashion, it's really incredible... I love choirs and I love choral music, and there was a 60-piece choir singing the vocal parts that I had written. When the baritones came in, I nearly wept, it was so emotional." Anxious to hear it!


While Florence and the Machine is set to debut their new live album recorded at the band's MTV Unplugged performance last year on April 9th, Snow White And The Huntsman also starring Twilight actress Kristen Stewart and Thor's Chris Hemsworth is due to be released into UK cinemas on June 1st.
