“This is a really interesting sync as it’s quite a different direction from the rest of the music used throughout this popular US TV series about the life of Mary Queen Of Scots. For almost the entire track [French Wives’ Younger] to be used on the concluding scenes of the first series is a major spot to land. “On first hearing, the track has obvious and
immediate sync potential due to the rather brilliant build, outro and lyrical hook of ‘I wish I had started younger’ and on this occasion works really well with the picture.”
