The soundtrack-album for writer-director Rebecca Miller's quirky romantic-comedy She Came To Me, starring Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway, and Marisa Tomei, is now officially available. It includes a sweet new ballad written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen entitled "Addicted to Romance." The Springsteen track is currently available for purchase only by buying the entire soundtrack album. (CORRECTION: The track is now available for purchase as a single, standalone track - credited to "Bruce Springsteen & Patti Scialfa" - without purchasing the entire soundtrack album. Click here for purchasing options.)
An official VEVO lyric-video also is now available, and we have it for you right here:
Springsteen's song gets its title from a line spoken by one of the film's characters, and it plays over the film's closing credits. "Addicted to Romance" was produced by Ron Aniello and The National's Bryce Dessner, who also composed She Came To Me's score as well as all of the diegetic opera heard in the film that is "composed" by Peter Dinklage's character.
Bruce's lead vocal is backed beautifully by Patti Scialfa, multi-tracked. Additional production info for "Addicted to Romance:"
