Doja Cat has shared the video for her May single “Vegas,” the lead offering from the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic, ELVIS, coming to theaters June 24. The soundtrack will arrive the same day via Iona/RCA Records.
No songs from the album have been released yet other than the Doja cut, but it will reportedly feature Kacey Musgraves covering “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” Italian group Måneskin reworking “If I Can Dream,” and Eminem and Cee Lo Green performing an original, Dr. Dre-produced track titled “The King and I.” Additional contributors include Stevie Nicks, Jazmine Sullivan, Tame Impala, Denzel Curry, Jack White, Nardo Wick, Swae Lee, and Diplo.
“Vegas” is a cheeky play on one of Presley’s biggest hits, “Hound Dog (1956),“ that finds Doja rapping about a trifling ex over a Yeti Beats and Rogét Chahayed instrumental that samples Big Mama Thornton’s original 1953 recording of the song. In the video, Doja lounges in a sundress, fanning herself as she moves through a shady room into a nearly empty theater where she links up with Shonka Dukureh, who plays Thornton in the forthcoming film.
Dukureh will also feature on the soundtrack, as will Austin Butler (who stars as Elvis) and other members of the cast. Tom Hanks, who portrays Elvis’ long-time manager Colonel Tom Parker, is not listed in the lineup.
