Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat": Hear 'The Hunger Games' Soundtrack Single Now
FUSE TV - Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat": Hear 'The Hunger Games' Soundtrack Single Now
As anticipation builds for The Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay: Part 1, excitement over its accompanying soundtrack is bubbling too. Today, we get the first single recorded by the soundtrack's curator, Lorde.
"Yellow Flicker Beat" opens with Lorde humming in a strange, somewhat unsettling tone that backs her famous rasp. She sings, "I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm / And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold." Any Hunger Games fan will connect with the lyrics, as they beautifully describe film heroine Katniss Everdeen, who's primped to be the perfect leader (whether she likes it or not) in the upcoming Mockingjay film.
But soon the creepy humming transforms into a mash of sliding synths, hard-hitting beats and Lorde's signature high notes. While the New Zealand singer originally hit the scene with her minimalist hit "Royals," this new single shows the 17-year-old getting bolder with her production and vocal decisions, and the results are fantastic.
