New Zealand’s reigning queen of pop Lorde has been asked to curate the soundtrack to the upcoming Hunger Games film.
The Royals singer, real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor, will choose the songs that will feature on the soundtrack to Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part One.
Lorde will also write and sing the soundtrack’s first single.
The Grammy-winning singer’s involvement was announced after the film’s first official trailer was launched.
Director Francis Lawrence said Lorde “innately understood” the vision for 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,” Lawrence said. “But her insight and passion for our project make her the perfect creative force to assemble the other songs on our soundtrack.”
The film will be the penultimate in a franchise based on a book trilogy by young adult fiction author Suzanne Collins.
