Lorde has announced her new single 'Yellow Flicker Beat', her first track since her breakthrough Pure Heroine LP.
Revealing the artwork on Facebook, the song was written for the soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, which Lorde is curating. Previous Hunger Games soundtracks have included Arcade Fire, Kid Cudi, Patti Smith and The National, although Lorde has released no names so far for who will feature in this latest installment.
'Yellow Flicker Beat' is due for release on 29 September and The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 is due to be released in the UK on 20 November.
Lorde recently gave fans a taste of new music by posting handwritten lyrics of an unheard song on Instagram. The singer tweeted, "Hm... When should I start giving you some clues about his new song.."
She obviously decided that today was the time to do so - this morning she posted a photo of one line of handwritten lyrics with the caption, "First line." The lyrics themselves read, "I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm."
Recently it was reported that Lorde may have been working with Kanye West. She recently covered two Kanye West songs in concert - 'Flashing Lights' and 'Hold My Liquor'.
