British singer-songwriter Charli XCX and John Cale teamed up for House, a Gothic song that will feature in the soundtrack for the remake of Wuthering Heights, which will be in theatres in February 2026. It is a nifty mix of spoken word, distortion and drones, following Cale's statement that "any song has to be both elegant and brutal". It that keeps lingering long after the song has finished. The video was directed by Mitch Ryan.
"Of course I was curious when Charli reached out about working together…I thought, what could she possibly want from me?!?! I learned straight away - she’s laser focused and ready to challenge expectations - perfect jumping off point.
When I heard the music, my first thought was - no one will expect this - let’s do it! Collaborating with Charli was effortless - work fast, stay in the moment, embrace the peculiarities!"
"We started talking specifically about House. We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was... well, it made me cry."
