- “The Hunger Games” soundtrack has a few miscues — Kid Cudi ‘s a dynamic performer, but feels out of place when surrounded by acoustic guitars — but ultimately, the 16-song set is both a tender companion for “Hunger” diehards and a rousing folk-rock compilation for non-enthusiasts.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 - Soundtrack Lorde really snapt while curating this album. All My Love by Major Lazer and Ariana Grande is for sure one of the best songs on this album, with incredible production and Ms. Grande's typical amazing voice.
Dec 18, 2014 · As with most good soundtracks, this is a pretty great mixtape, too. The first Hunger Games soundtrack, in 2012, leaned heavily on alt-folk and country; the 2013 sequel, Catching Fire, got an...

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire This song is a bit of an anomaly, found only on the German and Austrian versions of the Catching Fire soundtrack. You probably haven't heard it. You're not missing much. –Kevin Rutherford
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Phantogram's twinkling bonus track off the Catching Fire soundtrack feels like an unwarranted afterthought to an already overloaded release. - Shannon Carlin
The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond The first soundtrack is defined by its love of Appalachian music, but occasionally something else seeps through—like Arcade Fire's epic "Abraham's Daughter," for instance. But then there's Kid Cudi, who chants and hums over squealing electric guitar like he's Trent Reznor. –K.R.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Grace Jones takes us into the digital jungle for this track, which feels out of place amongst the synth pop that fills the Lorde-curated endeavor. A+ for effort, Grace, but we would have suggested this song be used in a different movie. Perhaps, Reese Witherspoon's Wild. - S.C
The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond Songs from District 12's weakest link features a pretty vocal, but songs from Secret Sisters, Neko Case and Birdy do what "Rules" is going for a whole lot better. –K.R.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Tinashé wears her heart on her sleeve for this slinky slow jam that has her waiting on a guy to make the first move. Clearly, though, this song is not about our Katniss, who is a little too busy leading the rebellion to be waiting on any man. -S.C.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire The guys of Imagine Dragons take their drum circle on the road, making a stop in Panem to lead a rather dour sing-along aimed at anyone trying to survive this post-apocalyptic nightmare. -S.C.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Christina Aguilera tries to out-"Beautiful" herself in the name of Katniss Everdeen, but just can't manage to hit that same emotional mark. -S.C.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire At first, The Weeknd abandons his usual darker R&B sensibility for acoustic guitar, but things don't stay that way for long, becoming your typical Weeknd tune about a minute and a half in. Not a bad thing per se, but it lacks the emotion Abel Tesfaye usually achieves in his songs. –K.R.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Tove Lo leaves the Twinkies, grabs the gun for this high-octane track that asks whether Katniss Everdeen's death will be in vain. But while our heroine will be remembered forever, it's unlikely this song will meet the same fate. -S.C.

- Lorde, 'Yellow Flicker Beat' — Mockingjay, Part 1. New Zealand pop star Lorde went from casual contributor to full-on curator between the franchise's second and third films.
- Lorde, 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' — Catching Fire. On the Catching Fire soundtrack, Lorde covered Tears For Fears' 1985 hit, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."
- Stromae feat. Lorde, Pusha T, Q-Tip and Haim, 'Meltdown' — Mockingjay, Part 1. It's tough not to litter this list with Lorde tracks, but we promise you this is the last one.
- Major Lazer feat. Ariana Grande, 'All My Love' — Mockingjay, Part 1. Each film's soundtrack has taken on a musical persona of its own. The first film favoured softer folk ballads and was described by country-turned-pop star Taylor Swift in an interview with Entertainment Weekly as "Appalachian music 300 years from now — what Americana and bluegrass music would sound like in the future."
Nov 21, 2014 · Its light lyrics and pop beat seem geared more toward a spot on the radio’s top-10 hits than the more eclectic “Hunger Games” soundtrack. Yet the daintier style coupled with Ariana Grande’s familiar high-pitched voice serves as a nice pick-me-up to the otherwise similarly-paced tracks.
Mar 16, 2012 · The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond is the official companion album for the 2012 film The Hunger Games.
