The idea of Tim Burton directing a version of Alice In Wonderland, with appearances from Johnny Depp (The Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen) and Anne Hathaway (The White Queen), kind of sells itself. But it's nice to see that the Alice... soundtrack will give the film even more appeal.
The deets of the soundtrack's track list were released a little more than a week ago, with songs from the likes Owl City, All Time Low, Tokio Hotel and Kerli, Motion City Soundtrack and more making appearances (it's like they were reading Buzzworthy or something!).
Now, courtesy of the fine folks at the delicately named We Are Pop Slags, we get a chance to hear some of the music; namely in the form of a radio rip of Avril Lavigne's "Alice (Underground)."
On first listen, "Alice," is a step away from Avril's usual sugar-coated pop-punk; it's operatic (!), atmospheric and, yeah, cinematic.
