By now I’m sure you’ve seen the names of a few of the artists Lorde has tapped for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 soundtrack floating around on social media. As the soundtrack curator a lot of pressure has been put on the young artist to create a great album, but the first single from the project should give you all of the faith you need that she’s more than up to the task.
“Find what you love and let it kill you,” Miguel sings in “This is Not a Game” as the Chemical Brothers’ huge production revs up and crashes behind him. “Play the game to change the game. Word to Gucci, that’s my hitter,” he later adds.
The high energy single, which also features background vocals from Lorde, is exactly the huge sound you expect from a Hunger Games soundtrack, making it a safe and solid first offering.
The soundtrack will also feature new material from Grace Jones, CHVRCHES, Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Raury, Tinashe and more. It comes out on Nov. 17.
