Kelty Greye tells The Hollywood Reporter about her melancholic rendition of the 2001 hit that she recorded three years before it landed in the DC Studios film and accepting "whether you loved it or hated it."
I don’t think it’s corporate, I just think it sounds like one of thousands of YouTube covers. The “broody pop cover” rules have lots of options, but ultimately are going to sound like broody pop covers.
I think in a better film this would have just be a weird choice that most people ignore. In a film that already has a lot of issues to discuss, this is an easy one to point out.
As for the song itself, it’s fine. I do wonder what the other 40 or so choices were. It seems weird to me that you could direct the scene without a song already in mind.
