Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice's song 'The Blower's Daughter' features prominently in the new Julia Roberts film 'Closer'.
Billboard reports that 'Closer's director, Mike Nichols, was introduced to Rice's music by one of the bosses of industry giant Creative Artists Agency after Rice had performed at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003.
A video for 'The Blower's Daughter', featuring scenes from 'Closer', is now on heavy rotation on cable music channel VH1 in the US.
The song also features in the trailer for the movie and according to Rice's label boss in the US, Jack Rovner, sales of Rice's album 'O' have increased by 100% in the past three weeks.
'Closer', which also stars Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen, opens in Irish cinemas in January.
