Clayface Soundtrack (2026): Every Song

Reimagining one of DC’s most tragic villains through the lens of psychological body horror, the Clayface soundtrack trades traditional comic-book heroics for a deeply unsettling descent into vanity and madness. Centered on Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries), a faded Hollywood star whose desperate quest to rebuild his mangled face with an experimental compound turns him into a melting, malleable monster, the film uses music as a cruel mirror of his former glamour. The sonic world swings violently between sunny, nostalgic pop classics that mock Hagen's obsession with physical perfection and visceral, dissonant textures that amplify his horrific physical decay.

The needle drops across the film are deliberately theatrical, playing directly into Hagen's crumbling ego. The marketing campaign set a chilling tone early on with slowed-down, existential reworkings of The Flaming Lips' 'Do You Realize??' and Matt and Kim, while the movie itself layers sharp narrative irony through tracks like David Bowie's 'Golden Years' and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons' desperate plea 'Beggin''. Seductive pop hooks like Goldfrapp's 'Ooh La La' and the timeless heartbreak of Chicago's 'If You Leave Me Now' (alongside Jasmine Jethwa’s delicate rendition) clash against relentless, pulse-pounding club beats from Jamie xx ('Baddy On the Floor', 'KILL DEM'), underscoring the glitzy parties where Hagen’s facade begins to melt away.
