(PCM) Close after the release of “Yellow Flicker Beat,” her single for Lionsgate’s highly-anticipated third installment in The Hunger Games series, Mockingjay – Part 1, British pop songstress Lorde has revealed the tracklist for the film’s soundtrack, which she curated at the request of director Francis Lawrence.
The soundtrack isn’t completely finished; as Lorde has pointed out, “Track 5″ is still under production and has yet to be named, leaving us to wonder what wonderful collaboration could potentially fill its spot. The soundtrack features genre-spanning collaborations between Lorde, Stormae, Pusha T, Q-Tip, Haim, The Chemical Brothers, Miguel, Charli XCX and Simon Bon as well as tracks from Chvches, Grace Jones, and Tinashé and a Kanye West remix of Lorde’s “Yellow Flicker Beat.”

“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,” Mockingjay director Francis Lawrence said in a statement. “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.”
Lorde tweeted about her excitement over the soundtrack on Tuesday, telling her 2.37 million followers: “the people on this soundtrack are true heroes, and you’re gonna be mindblown when you hear what they’ve created”
