Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) isn’t just going for our jugulars. He’s going for our Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, too.
The magnetic French vampire from AMC’s Interview with the Vampire takes center stage in the show’s third season, now titled The Vampire Lestat. The season adapts Anne Rice’s novel of the same name, in which Lestat starts a rock band and goes on tour to share his side of the story of his and Louis de Pointe du Lac’s (Jacob Anderson) relationship. Along the way, he’ll be haunted by the “muses” of his past.
Of course, a glam rocker would be nothing without his songs. Thankfully, The Vampire Lestat will be releasing multiple singles tied to the series. The first of these is “Long Face,” performed by Reid and with music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart. AMC first released the single as a lyric video, all the way back in July of 2024.
Lestat has issued a statement to press to commemorate the song’s streaming release on major music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon. Reading it, you’ll understand exactly why he’s earned the nickname of Brat Prince.

“‘Long Face’ is the first song Daniel Hart ‘produced’ for my album,” Lestat said. “He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn’t had an original idea for five years now (is that his Green Knight score fading in the rear view?) As for ‘Long Face,’ the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches.”
Ouch.
Despite Lestat’s words, the song is an angsty banger that will hook you from its first menacing “ooh ooh ooh.” Now the only thing missing is a music video (and The Vampire Lestat‘s exact release date.)
