FIONA APPLE RELEASES NEW SONG “HORNS OF A BULL”

FIONA APPLE RELEASES NEW SONG “HORNS OF A BULL” LISTEN HERE   WRITTEN AS THE TITLE SEQUENCE FOR CRIME THRILLER MINISERIES LUCKY STARRING ANYA TAYLOR-JOY TRAILER HERE    (Los Angeles, CA — July 15, 2026) Today, Fiona Apple releases “Horns of a Bull,” a minimal yet utterly commanding new song created as the title sequence for the hotly anticipated Apple TV miniseries Lucky starring Anya Taylor-Joy. The first two episodes of the high-energy crime thriller are streaming now, and “Horns of a Bull” can be heard HERE via Epic Records. Apple’s original song also appears on the official Lucky (Apple Original Series Soundtrack), released today as well, composed by Isabella Summers, also known as Isa Machine of Florence + the Machine. Co-produced by Apple and her drummer Amy Aileen Wood, “Horns of a Bull” opens on a tumble of percussion, heavy piano hits, and Apple’s voice sounding like it’s carrying all the weight and wisdom of the world. “I pay attention to the men behind the curtain, I was born in the horns of a bull,” she sings in a towering contralto, before pushing us bodily through waves of moods and modes, every emotion bending the tempo with its own gravitational pull. “My daddy put my crib under Damacles’ sword,” she riffs, “I saw the bull and became a toreador — RAH!” Taylor-Joy, who also serves as executive producer on Lucky, revealed Apple’s involvement in a recent interview with Movieplayer.it, saying, “I wanted [the music] to be mostly female-centric and have kind of a rock edge to it, and what I’m absolutely thrilled about is that the legend, Fiona Apple, does our title sequences. When that became a possibility […] I was just screaming, my teenage self freaked out. I think her voice is a perfect description of this series. There’s a timbre and a rawness and, like, a gravelliness that perfectly exemplifies the show.” Her co-star Timothy Olyphant, who plays her father, an itinerant con-man who raises his daughter in his image, weighed in as well: “When I saw the first episode, as soon as that title sequence broke in, I just remember this feeling of, ‘Oh, fuck yeah. This is going to be a great show.’ It just defined the whole show. This show must be awesome if Fiona Apple’s part of it.” Based on the 2021 novel by Marissa Stapley and created by Jonathan Tropper and Reese Witherspoon, Lucky picks up as Taylor-Joy’s titular character is forced to go on the run when a major heist goes sideways. Pursued by both the FBI (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) and a ruthless crime boss (Annette Bening), Lucky must fight for her life, and a way out — trailer HERE. “Horns of a Bull” is Apple’s first release since last summer’s protest anthem “Pretrial (Let Her Go Home),” which illustrates the horrifying effects of our cash-bail system on women, girls, and — especially — Black mothers.

She previously spoke to The Washington Post about it. Just last month, however, Apple showed up as a collaborator on “Need It,” the latest single from Cara Delevingne, who contributed vocals to Apple’s last album, 2020’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters. And in April, The New York Times named Apple to their much-discussed list of The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters, writing that, “She packs in more interpersonal danger, impassioned candor, and radical tenderness than artists with triple her catalog.” Since releasing her universally acclaimed, GRAMMY® Award-winning fifth studio album Fetch the Bolt Cutters, Apple has recorded a handful of covers and collaborations including last year’s Waterboys team-up “Letter From an Unknown Girlfriend” and a moving rendition of “Heart of Gold” from the star-studded tribute set Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young.   About Fiona Apple Uncompromising, unrepentant, and unrestrained, Fiona Apple first asserted herself as an iconoclastic voice for popular music and culture at just 17 years old with the release of her triple-platinum debut, Tidal. That monumental album included the platinum-selling single “Criminal,” which received a 1996 GRAMMY® Award in the category of Best Female Vocal Rock Performance — an auspicious and well-earned beginning. Since then, the eleven-time GRAMMY nominee has sold over 15 million records worldwide and built a critically acclaimed catalog, spanning the platinum-selling When the Pawn… (1999), the gold-certified Extraordinary Machine (2005), and The Idler Wheel… (2012), which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 — her highest placement on the chart. Then came her celebrated 2020 return, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, which won two more GRAMMYs (Best Alternative Music Album, and Best Rock Performance for “Shameika”) and received universal critical praise including a perfect Pitchfork score and #1 slots on year-end lists spanning The New York Times to EW to Consequence. Affirming her status as a cross-generational cultural force, she has logged headline-making collaborations with Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Phoebe Bridgers, and Sharon Van Etten, plus lent her talent to “Sally’s Song” for Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and additional films and shows including Showtime’s The Affair, Judd Apatow’s This Is 40, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. She recently was invited to cover Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” for a star-studded tribute LP, and counts everyone from President Barack Obama to Academy® Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino among her outspoken fan base.   #       #       #
