The fourth official single from “The Vampire Lestat” has a title that rolls off your tongue, fitting for a sultry tune that sees the Immortal Rockstar pay tribute to himself.
Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) adds another single to his growing repertoire with “Butterscotch Bitch.”
“Butterscotch Bitch” follows the Vampire Lestat’s recently released singles “All Fall Down” and “Long Face,” all of which feature original music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story) and are performed by Reid. Additionally, a cover version of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” was released along with the official trailer.
AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records released the single on the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
Daniel Hart said, “’Butterscotch Bitch’ is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Lestat, as it’s the song I wrote with the most knowledge of Lestat under my belt to date. And why not end the songwriting with a song that Lestat wrote about himself? He is, after all, The Lestat-iest Lestat that’s ever Lestat-ed.”
Added The Vampire Lestat, “Butterscotch Bitch’ is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Daniel Hart, as it’s the song he wrote on a toilet in between vegan burritos and sessions for his Mother Mary score. May it find a home on Anne Hathaway’s rescue dog grooming playlist.“
Never change, Lestat.
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, “The Vampire Lestat” is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire,” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rise, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid.
Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
“The Vampire Lestat” will premiere on June 7.
