With Lorde named as 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' OST curator a couple of months ago, fans of both the movie franchise and the 'Royals' hitmaker couldn't wait to hear what kind of record would come out of the collaboration.
The most intriguing of all was which musicians Lorde tapped for the project.
According to Page Six, the 17-year-old reportedly handpicked some interesting singers to join her on the soundtrack.
Sources told the website that Lorde has recruited the likes of Grace Jones, Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, Diplo and Charli XCX for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' OST.
Due out in November, the Republic Records album already has one song out - Lorde's own 'Yellow Flicker Beat' which she released last September 29.
Director Francis Lawrence was reportedly struck with how much Lorde understood Katniss, Peeta and Gale.
"Her immense talent and keen understanding of Mockingjay's characters and themes not only had enabled her to create a song of her own that completely captures the film's essence," the director said. "But her insight and passion for our project make her the perfect creative force to assemble the other songs on our soundtrack."
She also wrote about her experience curating the franchise's OST on her Tumblr page.
I work from midnight until late on the soundtrack, singing into my computer, listening to demos and final mixes. My bus sleeps," she told her followers. "We are almost at the end, the point where this soundtrack gets taken away from me and becomes something real."
She also shared that putting together this OST reminded her of the time her first album, 'Pure Heroine' was released last year.
"The feeling of something very solitary that I had worked on spinning around and around further away from me, becoming someone else's, everyone's," she said.
Regarding 'Yellow Flicker Beat,' the young artist said she tried to get into 'The Hunger Games' heroine Katniss' head.
She added, "It's my first offering from what I hope will be a soundtrack you love."
