Charli XCX, Chvrches, Raury & more to feature on Lorde’s ‘The Hunger Games’ soundtrack

The full details have emerged for Lorde’s ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Pt.1’ soundtrack, which accompanies the penultimate instalment of the Jennifer Lawrence-starring film series.

Lorde is curating the soundtrack and so far she’s unveiled the lead, ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’ track. Last night Zane Lowe on Radio 1 gave the first play to the Chemical Brothers’ ‘This Is Not a Game’ (featuring Miguel and Lorde) and now a full tracklist has been detailed.

DIY cover star Charli XCX is set to contribute a song called ‘Kingdom’, featuring Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon. Other big names set to appear across the soundtrack include Pusha T and Haim, who join Lorde and Q-Tip on the opening track, ‘Stromae: Meltdown’.

There’s also Chvrches, Tove Lo, Bat For Lashes and Raury, all contributing exclusive tracks. Grace Jones, Tinashé and XOV complete the line-up.

“The cast and story are an inspiration for all musicians participating and, as someone with cinematic leanings, being privy to a different creative process has been a unique experience. I think the soundtrack is definitely going to surprise people,” says the New Zealander about her curation role.
