John Cale Joins Charli XCX in 'House,' Song for Wuthering Heights'

Charli XCX collaborated with Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale on 'House,' inspired by his phrase about the band’s sound, for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights film.

  • Last week, Charli XCX released 'House', the first original song for Emerald Fennell’s forthcoming Wuthering Heights, collaborating with composer and Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale, with its video premiering on November 10.
  • After watching Todd Haynes’s Velvet Underground documentary a few years ago, Charli XCX contacted John Cale, sent him songs, and developed 'House' into a poem-led collaboration.
  • Directed by Mitch Ryan, the video premiered on November 10 and shows John Cale moving through a dilapidated house imagery while his poem drifts over the scene with Charli XCX’s autotuned voice amid decay.
  • The song’s witchy, gothic nature captures the haunted tone of Emily Brontë’s novel, while Fennell’s film stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and is scored by Anthony Willis.
  • Building on her post-Brat film work, Charli XCX has expanded her profile beyond pop records by hosting Saturday Night Live, while John Cale remains active with his 2024 album Poptical Illusion.
