Peaky Blinders, Anna Calvi has now announced details of the ‘Tommy’ EP with new songs recorded for the show. Check out the single ‘Ain’t No Grave’ along with our interview with Calvi below.Following on from the weekend’s epic season six finale, the Mercury-nominated Calvi today announced details of an EP comprising two original songs inspired by lead character Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy), along with covers of show staples by Bob Dylan and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

The first taster of the EP comes in the form of single ‘Ain’t No Grave’, as first written for the last series and “evolved further” for this one.“I just liked the idea of Tommy having his own song to sum him up,” Calvi told NME of the track. “It’s a combination of bravado to the point of madness – where he thinks that he’s literally God – but at the same time there’s a feeling that this thing is going to catch up with him.

He can’t keep surfing this wave of somehow escaping death.“There’s also a childlike hope in him that one day he’ll put his gun down and be a better person.

I wanted to try and get all of those ideas into this song – both musically and lyrically.”Calvi had previously attempted to write what was dubbed as a ‘theme for Tommy’ when she wrote the song ‘You’re Not God’ from season five.
