Lordes is Writing a Song for ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’

Lordes has been tapped to write a new song for the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 which is heading to theaters on November 21, 2014. The New Zealand native will also ‘curate’ the soundtrack according to an announcement by Lionsgate, hand-picking artists to be included on the soundtrack.

“I sat down with Lorde on the set of Mockingjay this spring and I was immediately struck by how she so innately understood what we, as both fans and filmmakers, were trying to accomplish with the film. Her immense talent and keen understanding of Mockingjay’s characters and themes not only have enabled her to create a song of her own that completely captures the film’s essence, but her insight and passion for our project make her the perfect creative force to assemble the other songs on our soundtrack. I can’t wait to share what she’s done with the fans — it is truly remarkable,” said director Francis Lawrence.


“Curating the soundtrack for such a hotly-anticipated film was a challenge, but I jumped at the chance,” said Lorde. “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.”
