The article

Keira Knightley snuck into a recording studio to lay down the tracks she sings in a new movie and the result is an album featuring the young Oscar-nominated star.

Keira stars with Sienna Miller (almost unrecognisable), Matthew Rhys and Cillian Murphy in John Maybury's film The Edge Of Love. It's about two women in Dylan Thomas's life - his childhood friend Vera Phillips and his wife Caitlin MacNamara - and their Bohemian romping during World War II.


The movie, which was written by Keira's mum Sharman Macdonald, opens with Keira, who plays Vera, singing Blue Tahitian Moon to people sheltering in an Underground station during the Blitz.

When I visited the set last year, Keira admitted to me she wasn't sure she could carry a tune. "I can't really sing," she said. "I had to have a few lessons, but once I started doing it, a sound emerged that wasn't too disagreeable!"

Well, she's always downplaying her talent - I suspect because of those who, for some reason I can't fathom, sneer at her. She should start believing in herself and get used to the fact that she's emerging as a damn good actress. And her singing, which has a mournful edge to it, is far from "disagreeable".

The album, which is being released later this year on Universal's Classics and Jazz label, also has Keira singing two other numbers featured in the movie: Irving Berlin's Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much and Drifting And Dreaming.

The soundtrack also has Suggs from Madness crooning Hang Out The Stars In Indiana and numbers written by Maybury and Angelo Badalamenti, sung by Siouxsie Sioux, Beth Rowley and Patrick Wolf.

I saw a completed version of The Edge Of Love and, as I revealed in previous columns, Keira and Sienna (who portrays Caitlin) give sublime performances that delve deeper when Maybury moves the story from London to windswept Wales.

There, the two women essentially co-habit with the poet. Indeed, all four leads are brilliant when the story darkens in Wales.

I'm sure it's going to be a contender at Cannes and other film festivals this year. Both movie and album will probably come out in the summer.

She looks so adorable! I can't wait to see the Edge of Love! And witness this tell-tall 'bohemian romping' as it were, lol.

Agreed ... so cute in that picture

 

[kelliann]

the way they're making it sound from the dailymail article it's as though she's recording songs specifically for the movie that will be released to cd. that would be fantastic, if it happened. i can picture her singing a few songs (that one and "love locked out") along with other songs from the era. i would buy it.

I agree.

So then was that really her singing in AWE in the beginning? I always wondered, but never really thought to ask. I'm very excited to hear her sing. She's always saying she can't.

 

[Cellardoor]

^ I've been thinking that too. If so, her voice isn't as horrible as she says, it's just quite high.

Yeah, it was her, her voice is very recognizable (at least to me). I can't wait to hear her sing more, I adore her.

 

[Captain_Lydia]

I thought it was, but she kept swearing up and down that she couldn't sing so I thought it was possible they had her lip sync, not that it was a power ballad or anything, but still.

I want to hear her sing more too.

 

[IncurableLunatic]

well she tends to be self-deprecating most of the time....
