There are few soundtracks as catchy as "Lucy Liu, with my girl Drew / Cameron D, and Destiny / For Charlie's Angels, come on." You probably even read that to the beat of the song. Last year, Sony announced Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the stars of the new Charlie's Angels reboot. Naturally, people were wondering if another Destiny's Child reunion would be on the horizon.Instead of "Independent Women Pt. III," however, we got "Don't Call Me Angel," a collaboration with Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus. A snippet of the song appeared in the film's official trailer in June, and the visual is finally here ahead of the movie's November release. It was unlikely that the new version could beat the 2000 reboot, but was there hope for its official song? With a pop combination as massive as Lana, Ari, and Miley, the stakes were undoubtedly set high. "Don't Call Me Angel," however, is not a song that will be engrained in your head 18 years from now. You might not even remember who starred in this film. It does little to serve as a time capsule for the strange times we're living in.
