Burial (From Mother Mary)
Its taken me a little bit to listen to the song purely for the fact it fell off my radar cause ive been busy
Burial (From Mother Mary), performed by the outstanding Anna Hathaway, is a fun, darker pop song that you coulld probably get stuck in your head for a while. The whole album, being 7 songs, has many high industry collaborates (such as Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX, FKA TWIGS, and many others) on it so theres no doubt I’ll probably end up loving the album as a whole. I enjoy Anne Hathaway’s voice in this song, but i may be slightly bias as I love that woman and everything she does, but i do hope we will hear some more amped up vocals in the full product.
I do have a slight gripe with the repetitiveness of the song, there’s no stand out moment where I go WOW, each verse and chorus sounds the same.
In comparison to Skye Riley, another fictional artist created for a horror movie, i dont think this single is as immediately attention grabbing as Blood on White Satin, which for me was a smash hit the second I first heard it, i CRAVED more from; Burial however, is just a fun, enjoyable song ill have in my queue for the next few days and that gets me excited for the whole Album release on April 17th (Day after my birthday, kind of made for me actually).
Overall, I think fictional popstars are a really great idea which i think more companies should be capitalizing on more and im so glad A24 are using Anna Hathaway as their attempt. I can for sure see this song growing massively on me very soon, and I WILL be supporting the entire release just for my immense love for the topic, i mean it, fictional popstars are truly the way to my heart, ESPECIALLY in horror movies, looking at you Skye Riley. I cant wait for the full Mother Mary Greatest Hits album and I can NOT WAIT for the movie, it was in my predicted top 12 movies of 2026 list i made at the beginning of the year and the album alone is one of the reasons, and this song gives me very high hopes.
