It’s been a year since Lorde rose to global stardom with her stellar debut Pure Heroine – and what better way to celebrate the anniversary than with new original music? The New Zealand songstress has just unveiled ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’, her contribution to the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.
Lorde was also responsible for curating the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, which is set to drop this November. ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’ features her trademark brand of powerful pop, along with brooding overtones and a galloping hook. Speaking on the soundtrack, she wrote on Tumblr:
“we are almost at the end, the point where this soundtrack gets taken away from me and becomes something real. i’m reminded of this day last year, when pure heroine came out in this country. the feeling of something very solitary that i had worked on spinning around and around further away from me, becoming someone else’s, everyone’s.”
The track has already gained over 200,000 plays in the last couple of hours – take your turn below:
