Wuthering Heights Lyrics & Tracklist – Charli XCX, John Cale, Sky Ferreira

Album Overview

Wuthering Heights is a soundtrack album created in conjunction with the 2026 film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, directed by Emerald Fennell. Scheduled for release on February 13, 2026, by Atlantic Records, the album serves as a musical companion to the film and features original compositions that draw inspiration from the story’s gothic themes of passion, obsession and emotional turmoil. The project marks a distinct artistic shift for Charli XCX, weaving atmospheric, baroque pop, synth elements, and haunting melodic textures to reflect both the narrative and cinematic tone.

While Charli XCX is credited as the primary artist and creative force behind the album, several collaborators contribute to the sound, most notably John Cale and Sky Ferreira, bringing a layered musical depth that spans experimental pop, electropop, and avant-garde influences.

Release Information

The soundtrack album is set to release on February 13, 2026, aligning with the theatrical debut of Emerald Fennell’s film Wuthering Heights. The project was conceived after Fennell invited Charli XCX to contribute a song, which evolved into a full-length album encompassing twelve original tracks. The soundtrack includes previously released singles such as “House” (featuring John Cale), “Chains of Love,” and “Wall of Sound,” each previewing the broader sonic landscape of the record. Production contributors include frequent collaborators like Finn Keane (formerly Easyfun) and Justin Raisen, who help shape the album’s distinctive atmospheric and gothic-pop aesthetic.

Musical Style and Themes

The music on Wuthering Heights melds dark, moody, and emotional elements with Charli XCX’s contemporary pop sensibilities. Tracks like “House” and “Chains of Love” evoke a blend of brooding textures, lush strings, and driving synth lines, embracing the novel’s intense emotionality while pushing beyond traditional pop frameworks. The inclusion of collaborators such as John Cale and Sky Ferreira adds diverse tonal qualities: Cale’s avant-garde legacy surfaces in the atmospheric opening track, while Ferreira’s presence introduces a contrasting alt-pop resonance. Lyrically and sonically, the album engages with themes of love, turmoil, introspection, and psychological depth that parallel the film’s narrative.
