Como les informamos en días pasados, un nuevo tema de la neozelandesa Lorde sería dado a conocer este 29 de septiembre; y como era de esperarse, «Yellow Flicker Beat» ya puede ser escuchada por completo.
Esta nueva pieza, que sin problemas hubiese podido formar parte de su exitoso LP, Pure Heroine, lanzado el año pasado, forma parte del soundtrack del filme The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 y contó con la producción de Paul Epworth. Mientras conocemos si Lorde decidirá incluir esta nueva creación en algún futuro material, más abajo pueden escuchar sus más de tres minutos de duración.
Además, a continuación también les compartimos una nota publicada por la misma Lorde en la que externa algunos de sus sentimientos sobre la mencionada «Yellow Flicker Beat», así como sobre el aniversario número 1 de su aclamado álbum debut.
Aquí la nota:
«i’m sitting up in bed, moving through desert halfway between utah and las vegas. yesterday was our ninth show in eleven days. every night, after i play, and say hi, and take pictures, and i walk up the stairs and we go on our way, 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. my bus sleeps. we are almost at the end, the point where this soundtrack gets taken away from me and becomes something real. i’m reminded of this day last year, when pure heroine came out in this country. the feeling of something very solitary that i had worked on spinning around and around further away from me, becoming someone else’s, everyone’s. the past year of my life has seen everything around me multiply in size and number – the stamps on my passport, the number of people i have to ask before i ride on the ferris wheel after my set at a festival, the decibels that follow me when i walk around in public. the other thing that’s grown is me – my fitness, my mental stamina, my ability to think clearly and make decisions – but most of all, my capacity for love. the thousands upon thousands (wait, millions(?!!)) of you who bought pure heroine truly feel like friends to me – it’s no coincidence i’m posting this note here, where i feel the most happy and safe online, the place where i laugh the most and where every day, i feel like people get me. i never knew i could feel such a warm heart for this many people at once. thankyou for hearing about me all those months ago, and sticking around. thankyou for being here.
now, about this song – yellow flicker beat. it’s my first offering from what i hope will be a soundtrack you love. it’s my attempt at getting inside her head, katniss’. i hope you like it.»
