According to Pitchfork, Lorde has posted clip of previously unreleased song, “Lost Boys,” which you can listen to on her Tumblr page. She wrote on her Tumblr:
“Found this little guy whilst trawling through my archives and thought it would be a cute thing to share with y’all. we wrote this song called lost boys in about march of last year, we spent a day on it and then never touched it again (it was not a good song, i promise, haha). a lot of people asked what happened to lost boys, and i guess you’ll never hear the other three-quarters of the song, but there was something about these bridge melodies i thought was pretty. so here you go – a little pre-christmas look at the cutting room floor. xo
ps. sorry for shitty iphone quality :~)”
Having just celebrated her 18th birthday, Lorde is on a celebration high, also celebrating the soundtrack she curated for the third Hunger Games movie. The soundtrack was released along with the movie in November. Lorde appears on four of the songs on the soundtrack including “Yellow Flicker Beat,” which she just released video for, a remix of “Yellow” by Kanye West, “Meltdown,” a collaboration with Q-Tip, Haim, Pusha T and Stromae, and Bright Eyes’ “Ladder Song.”
For “Yellow Flicker Beat,” Lorde worked with Joel Little, the producer behind her hit “Royals.” Paul Epworth also worked on the new track, who is famous for working with Adele on “Rolling in the Deep” and “Skyfall.”
The last Hunger Games soundtrack was a huge success, which Lorde also worked on, and the Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part One soundtrack is poised to be as well. The soundtrack also features Charli XCX, Simon Le Brun, Bat for Lashes, and The Chemical Brothers.
On working on the soundtrack and her upcoming album, Lorde told Rolling Stone,
“I’ve done a lot of writing, lyrically, but I started the soundtrack just as I was getting into album stuff, and that took up all of my creative head. But I have been plotting out ideas. I guess other people don’t write like that, but for me it’s all about what I want to say with the records.”
