The Vampire Lestat has released his newest single,“Butterscotch Bitch,” the fourth official song unveiled ahead of the premiere of AMC’s highly anticipated series The Vampire Lestat (Interview with the Vampire Season 3), debuting Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+.
Released by AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records, “Butterscotch Bitch” is now available on major digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. The release is accompanied by a brand-new promotional video featuring the track.
“Butterscotch Bitch” follows previously released singles “All Fall Down” and “Long Face,” as well as the recently released cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself,” which debuted alongside the official trailer for the series. All original songs feature music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart and vocals performed by the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt.
The upcoming rock-and-roll-driven season follows the Vampire Lestat as he embarks on an electrifying multi-city tour while confronting “muses” from his chaotic and rebellious past. As his fame and influence continue to grow, both humans and vampires alike are forced to reckon with Lestat’s increasing power amid the rise of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
The Vampire Lestat stars Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle. The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson, creator, writer, and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
Said Daniel Hart: “’Butterscotch Bitch’ is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Lestat, as it’s the song I wrote with the most knowledge of Lestat under my belt to date. And why not end the songwriting with a song that Lestat wrote about himself? He is, after all, The Lestat-iest Lestat that’s ever Lestat-ed.”
Said The Vampire Lestat: “Butterscotch Bitch’ is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Daniel Hart, as it’s the song he wrote on a toilet in between vegan burritos and sessions for his Mother Mary score. May it find a home on Anne Hathaway’s rescue dog grooming playlist.”
We here at iHorror are not entirely sure we have the mental fortitude necessary to fully analyze and break down these lyrics, but we will, no doubt, do our best to remain professional while discussing lines like, “Gimme your hips and I’ll open you wide / A moan and a groan and a sigh / Again and again and again.”
