Kanye West has remixed Lorde's recent single "Yellow Flicker Beat", and she's shared it for all to hear. It features on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 OST.
Lorde's original explodes in the chorus with vicious rage and an uncharacteristic fire in her gut, but the rework, complete at odds with recent output fom Mr. West, is decidedly calm. It's resonant and subdued, and the born'n'bred producer has opted for brood over pomp.
