With the eminent release of the feverishly anticipated ‘The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 1’, Lorde stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and performed a cover of 'Don't Tell Them' by Jeremih as well as the Kanye West version of her new single ‘Yellow Flicker Beat' from the soundtrack.
"I have basically been a really big fan of this song since I first started hearing it around," Lorde said of the cover. "I love the vocal melodies. I think they’re really smart and just consider them cool. It’s quite a saucy song or something and I think it would be interesting to flip the dynamic and make that power mine."
Lorde is set to appear this Friday, November 14th, on Alan Carr: Chatty Man on Channel 4. Tune in to the program at 10pm.
'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ soundtrack has become one of the most anticipated albums of 2014.
