reception

Sam Reed of The Hollywood Reporter says the song I Feel Everything from Cara Delevingne , they present the lilting melody in a way that sounded refreshing, as if it were without post, digital pitch correction got along. The song A Million on My Soul by Alexiane was loud Angelica Florio of Bustle a futuristic feast for the ears, and the electronic piece with the heavy beat and the futuristic sounds is pretty much perfect for the film.
