10 Best Lorde Songs

9. Yellow Flicker Beat

The artist created this single for the soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. It's not the first track that she makes for one of these movies; however, it's the one that has surprised us the most so far. Surprisingly, the singer changes her person to resemble the film's protagonist.

The song's lyrics are full of references to the saga and being charged with an energy and power that we have seen little in the artist. Again, we can see outstanding vocal performance from Lorde, especially in the first chorus, which is entirely acapella. Her tone is low, but she achieves a crescendo that's explosive in the chorus full of energy.

The strength, energy, and slightly threatening tone that her voice conveys truly hers transform Lorde into the saga's heroine. As usual with the singer, we have a choir in the background that adds that extra touch to the song's atmosphere. The production is remarkable and full of elements that make it worthy of a movie. Changing from a disturbing calm in the first seconds of the song to an explosion in the chorus. It's a song that undoubtedly evokes and perfectly mixes both Lorde and Katniss Everdeen.
