- “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.

New Zealand pop star Lorde went from casual contributor to full-on curator between the franchise's second and third films. She appeared on a number of tracks on the Mockingjay, Part 1soundtrack in varying capacities, either adding small vocal parts to big collaborations or performing songs on her own. "Yellow Flicker Beat" stands out as one of her ...
On the Catching Firesoundtrack, Lorde covered Tears For Fears' 1985 hit, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." The new version cloaks the original's sunny riffs with an ominous doomsday darkness that transforms the words to perfectly match the sombre atmosphere and tone of the films.
It's tough not to litter this list with Lorde tracks, but we promise you this is the last one. The Mockingjay, Part 1soundtrack kicks off with "Meltdown", a powerful opening statement that charges out of the gates with verses by Pusha T, Q-Tip and Stromae while Lorde and Haim bridge the gaps with irresistible harmonies and hooks. A revolution requi...
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 Weeklyas "Appalachian music 300 years from now — what Americana and bluegrass music would sound like in the future." The second introduced more ele...
There are the quieter moments on the first soundtrack and then there are fiery bursts of energy, like Glen Hansard's "Take the Heartland." This rumbling track represents the determination and fight hidden inside of Katniss as she enters her first Hunger Games, and the power that continued to fuel her in later battles against the Capitol. "I'm gonna...
The British rock band's grandiose sounds are tailor-made for cinematic moments like those in The Hunger Games. "Atlas" exercises Coldplay's penchant for explosive choruses as lead singer Chris Martin dramatically bursts into the promise that he'll "carry your world." Elsewhere, the band is restrained, accompanied by just a piano and a tense, loomin...
Legendary rocker Patti Smith is admittedly a huge fan of The Hunger Games. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she discussed her fandom and her song for the Catching Firesoundtrack. "It's like a letter to the Capital," Smith told the magazine. "Warning them about Katniss, but warning them in a proud way." She also noted that her son played the guitar...
"Elastic Heart" was on the Catching Fire soundtrack well before the single made it onto Sia's 2014 album, 1000 Forms of Fear. This version featured Canadian R&B star the Weeknd on a verse, a perfect pairing of powerhouse vocals against the equally dynamic beats and rhythms created by producer extraordinaire Diplo.
Swift recorded two great tracks for the first film's compilation: the country-rock number "Eyes Open" and the gracefully minimal "Safe & Sound," a collaboration with folk duo the Civil Wars. Swift's voice is often surrounded by fanfare and embellishments on her biggest hits so it's a truly wonderful treat when she strips it all down on a track like...
Arcade Fire really got into the mindset of the movie's universe when writing this epic track. Instead of taking the literal route, chief songwriters Win Butler and Régine Chassagne turned to the biblical story of Abraham and the near-sacrifice of his son, Isaac. "There's something in the story of Abraham and Isaac that I think resonates with the th...
