Kanye West has reworked Lorde's 'Yellow Flicker Beat' for the soundtrack to The Hunger Games Mockingjay Pt. 1. Listen below.
Lorde is curating the film's soundtrack and has previously covered Kanye's 'Hold My Liquor' and 'Flashing Lights' in concert.
The New Zealand singer told Rolling Stone magazine that the pair met recording an episode of Later... With Jools Holland. She told the magazine that "He said he liked the messages [in my songs], which was cool".
It was clearly the beginning of what some might call 'a beautiful friendship' now that West has contributed to Lorde's Hunger Games soundtrack. Both Lorde's original and Kanye's remix are set to appear on the soundtrack. Lorde released the reworked track yesterday, titled in this incarnation, 'Flicker'.
