The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part One Poster, 2014
Lionsgate
The Famous Movie 'Hunger Games' will soon to be viewed at Cinema on November 21, 2014. But the most awaited in atunes! are their soundtrack.
one of the most awaited song was came from 'Lorde' According to the rollingstone. com, Lorde will curate and release the lead single for the upcoming soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1, which opens in theaters on November 21st. The soundtrack is also scheduled for release this fall, via Republic Records, though a release date for both the soundtrack and Lorde's new song has yet to be confirmed.

"Curating the soundtrack for such a hotly-anticipated film was a challenge, but I jumped at the chance," Lorde said in a statement. "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."
The 17-year old singer was an obvious choice to head up the Mockingjay soundtrack, having contributed a harrowing cover of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" to the soundtrack for the previous Hunger Games film, Catching Fire.
Taking charge of the soundtrack to the anticipated film is another big moment in Lorde's brief, yet brilliant, career: Her surprise number one smash, "Royals," picked up Grammys for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. Back in March, Nirvana tapped the singer to perform "All Apologies" at the group's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. And topping it off, the New Zealander not only graced the cover of Rolling Stone, but received perhaps the greatest honor any pop star can receive: A "Weird Al" Yankovic parody.
Lorde is currently scheduled to play Lollapalooza in Chicago on Friday, August 1st, and will kick off a North American tour on September 5th at the Mann Center in Philadelphia.
The trailer doesn't premiere any new music (a la Taylor Swift's "Safe and Sound" from the first installment), but that doesn't mean watching the new video doesn't have us imagining what kind of music Lorde -- who was announced as the music curator for the "inspired by" soundtrack for the film -- might choose to invoke the right moods for these shots.
1.) There will hopefully be some kind of updated "Safe and Sound" playing over the credits. The Swift and Civil Wars track set the standard for the whole franchise, and it's hard to imagine Lorde not tapping her BFF for some kind of contribution -- particularly with Taylor ramping up promotion for her own album this fall. (The Civil Wars, alas, likely won't participate.)

2.) OMG, the brief shot of Finnick in the trailer -- no spoilers -- means that Lorde is going to have to enlist some seriously sad ballads on the soundtrack. Paging Adele!
3.) The moment in the trailer when Katniss declares, "You will rescue Peeta at the earliest opportunity, or you will find yourself another Mockingjay" is just asking for an inspirational anthem, a la Christina Aguilera's hit "We Remain" from the second installment. Can Aguilera please be back for another?
4.) It has already been announced that Lorde will contribute a new song to the soundtrack (possibly containing the lyrics "I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm") -- but maybe she'll also repurpose her track "Glory and Gore" off Pure Heroine. Remember: glory and gore go hand in hand, as do Katniss and the front of the battle lines. (Billboard.com)
