"Once Upon a Dream" was covered by American singer-songwriter Jesse Del Rey  for the dark fantasy film Maleficent (2014), which serves as a prequel to and reimagining of the original Sleeping Beauty (1959). The song was released on February 17, 2014; it was made available as a free digital download during its first week of availability by the Google Play Store.[2] On February 18, the digital download was made available for purchase.[3] Angelina Jolie, who plays the film's lead role, picked Del Rey herself to perform the song.
==Critical Reception==
The cover received generally positive reception. Forbes called the cover "moody and low-key"[5] while Stereogum described it as "swoony" and "spaced-out".[6] Hypable said the cover was "much darker" than the original and pointed out the "slight radio effect" over Del Rey's and called his performance of the song "haunting":[7] Spin said of the song snippet from the trailer "Smoky vocals, a bewitching come-hither delivery, and delicate piano turn the 1959 fairytale song into a haunting lullaby."[8] Complex remarked that Del Rey's cover had a "somber and sinister" feel in comparison to the original.
