AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records released the single on the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. \u201cDancing With Myself\u201d joins the recently released singles \u201cAll Fall Down,\u201d which plays behind the opening titles, and \u201cLong Face,\u201d both with original music and lyrics by Hart and performed by Reid.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the new rock and roll centric season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by \u201cmuses\u201d from his wild and rebellious past. As his band\u2019s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat\u2019s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat\u2019s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population. In addition to Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7c7JFMTBeVk?si=-F_hpzgxl7i1BmLI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT DANIEL HART<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Hart is a composer and performer based in Los Angeles. Hart made his feature film debut in 2013 with the critically acclaimed Ain\u2019t Them Bodies Saints, which began his collaboration with filmmaker David Lowery. Hart has composed the music for all of Lowery\u2019s films, including The Green Knight, Pete\u2019s Dragon, A Ghost Story, Old Man and The Gun, and the upcoming Mother Mary. Over the past decade, he has also scored multiple TV shows, from Fox\u2019s The Exorcist, to SMILF, to SUNNY. He has written music for This American Life, and composed the score for S Town, one of the most popular podcasts of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Hart and showrunner Rolin Jones have been collaborating on Interview with the Vampire since 2021. Season three puts Hart\u2019s music front and center: he and Jones worked side by side in the writer\u2019s room this year, with Hart co-writing one of the episodes, and writing over twenty songs for the Vampire Lestat to sing. Hart\u2019s musical career started on the road, as a hired gun for bands such as St. Vincent, Broken Social Scene, Other Lives, and The Polyphonic Spree. He has also fronted his own band, Dark Rooms, since 2013. Season three brings Daniel Hart back to those rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll roots, both as a songwriter, and as the Musical Director for the onscreen band which Lestat fronts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT AMC GLOBAL MEDIA:<\/p>\n<p>AMC Global Media (Nasdaq: AMCX) is home to many of the greatest stories and characters in TV and film and the premier destination for passionate and engaged fan communities around the world.
