This is not a game! I repeat, this is not a game! The countdown to the new Hunger Games movie is in full swing at the moment, with Lorde releasing "Yellow Flicker Beat" at the beginning of the month, and now another track off the soundtrack has found its way online. The teen kiwi is responsible for writing the entire score and for this latest song she enlisted the help of The Chemical Brothers and Miguel to provide the beats and vocals. The result is blockbuster collab "This Is Not A Game". An odd combo at first glance, but somehow it works! The beat is a weird mix of trap and electro with Miguel rapping about survival over said beats. And I love how Lorde intervenes throughout the song by simply saying "There it is" on the hook. It might take some time getting used to, but I'm feeling it! Listen below. |
