Hailee Steinfeld’s New Project

Hailee Steinfeld has released a new song from her latest acting project.

Hailee is starring in and executive producing Dickinson, an Apple TV+ series about legendary 19th century poet Emily Dickinson. She also co-wrote and sings the song “Afterlife (Dickinson),” inspired by themes of Emily Dickinson’s poems, including death and mortality.

“This record has become one of my favorite songs I’ve worked on and sonically, it’s indicative of the direction I’m exploring with my new music,” Hailee says of the track. “There’s a line in the song that says ‘immortality is bliss’ and it’s reminiscent of a lot of Emily’s poems,” she explains. “She lived during a time where women were forbidden from voicing their opinions and restricted in many ways, including how they dressed.”

The single artwork shows Hailee wearing a corset that’s cinched to create an impossibly small waist – she says she wanted to show “how Emily in particular felt constricted and stifled.”

Dickinson’s most famous poems include “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers,” “Because I could not stop for Death” and “I’m Nobody! Who are you?”
