No matter what its trailers you might be thinking, The Bride! not musical at all. But this DOING there’s plenty of singing, though, and a playlist of singers who helped shape its title character.

Said playlist comes from star Jessie Buckley, who spoke Fun every week Music is a “huge part” of her various film roles—she plays the title character, Ida, before and after death, as well as Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley, and “she needed it all.” Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal and co-lead Christian Bale helped her out, and the three created a group chat where they would “just send each other different songs. Christian and Maggie are complete music nuts.”

Such songs ranged from “really dirty, raunchy songs from the 1920s,” such as Ma Rainey’s 1924 song “Shave ‘Em Dry,” to “Ladies and Gentleman” from the rock band Spiritualized. During the interview, Buckley also listed “PJ Harvey, Sinead O’Connor, Björk, all this wild, incredible, punk-rock, 1920s tap music.” One specific song he listed was Joni Mitchell’s “‘A Case of You,'” which he found representative of the love story between Ida and Frank.

Speaking of Frank, Buckley said Bale based his character on Sid Vicious. Early in production, Gyllenhaal said Bale sent him a video of the rocker doing Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” and that’s when he decided, “Okay, our Frankenstein. is the punk in a classic 1981 London kind of way. That’s great.”

You can listen to some of the songs Buckley, Gyllenhaal, and Bale shared with each other in the “Bridezilla” playlist below. The Bride! sing (or not) into theaters on March 6.
