Lorde has released her music video for Yellow Flicker Beat – it’s eerie and darker than her other videos but its got to be her most dynamic yet, we love it! Lorde, who turns 18 tomorrow (November 7) starts of chanting in a darkened room lit only by neon lights. From there we’re taken on a journey with Lorde dancing the whole way. The locations are diverse and her outfits, and dancing, quite sensational. Later on in the video she attends a glamourous 20’s style cocktail party – where she, of course, falls into a dark abyss.

The video was directed by Emily Kai Bok and Yellow Flicker Beat is the first single to be released from the soundtrack she has curated for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I. The soundtrack will be released on November 17 and has contributions from Grace Jones, Kanye West, CHVRCHES, Charli XCX, Simon Le Bon, Ariana Grande, Major Lazer, The Chemical Brothers, Tove Lo, Q-Tip, Pusha T, Haim, Bat For Lashes, Miguel and more.
Lorde shared the audio for Yellow Flicker Beat back in September this year and wrote about the track on her Tumblr : “my attempt at getting inside [Katniss’] head.” Lorde appears on three more Mockingjay tracks which she fine-tuned on her tour bus after shows: “…I set up in this little bed office. I work from midnight until late on the soundtrack, singing into my computer, listening to demos and final mixes.”
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I is in cinemas from November 21st.
