The song from the pairing of Charli XCX and Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon has been the latest track to be released from the Lorde-cruated soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1. Listen below.
Charli XCX and Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon's 'Kingdom' begins as a deceptive piece of piano pop. Before breaking into an electronic beat, presaged by a catch in the vocal track and a horn squawk. A martial beat settles in and Le Bon comes in for an octave scaling backing vocal and the track ends in a heavy chorus.
