iseeyouupsidedown 931 Posted November 5, 2014 mte...they've been hyping it as a side to Charli we've never heard before but lbr Lorde and Simon Le Bon are Boom Clap stans and don't know all the different ways she's sung before That's kind of what I was thinking.. It's not as if Charli hasn't sung dark and emotional songs before so I don't know what "new side" of her to expect... It sounds like the song will have a heavier focus on This Le Bon guy than I hoped though... And also he made it sound like he's the sole writer and wrote her part for her. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitar 22,210 Posted November 5, 2014 That's kind of what I was thinking.. It's not as if Charli hasn't sung dark and emotional songs before so I don't know what "new side" of her to expect... It sounds like the song will have a heavier focus on This Le Bon guy than I hoped though... And also he made it sound like he's the sole writer and wrote her part for her. Charli would never...She's a London queen... Found the article: https://sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/boy-on-film--simon-le-bon-talks-surprise--hunger-games--soundtrack-appearance-210700658.html Surprised to see Simon Le Bon's name in the credits of the forthcoming Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Pt. I soundtrack? So is he. "I got a call from [my manager] who said, 'You're not going to believe this, Simon, but there's a slot for you to do a duet with Charli XCX for the new Hunger Games film," says the Duran Duran frontman. "I said, 'Great!' It was just a dead 'yes.' What an opportunity! "I'm a big fan of Charli XCX," Le Bon continues. "I think she's got something very special. And then I'm told that Rostam Batmanglij was producing it—I really like [batmanglij's band] Vampire Weekend and their sound. I don't know whose idea it was, but it's a bloody good one." The pairing —for a song called "Kingdom," which is credited to Charli XCX feat. Simon Le Bon —was the brainchild of none other than Lorde, the soundtrack's curator, according to the Kiwi's publisher, Ron Perry, of Songs Music Publishing. "She's a Duran Duran fan," he says. Although Le Bon, who just turned 56, and 17-year-old Grammy-winner Lorde have yet to meet in person, "we've been emailing each other," he says. "She's very vocal, very communicative." Le Bon describes "Kingdom" as "really different…very out-there." Musically, it has "a nursery-rhyme sort of melody," he says, but, lyrically, it's "very, very, very dark." Charli XCX sounds "like this beautiful little caged bird singing. I played against the innocence, sweetness, and naiveté—I'm the dark lord in the [lyrics] I wrote. She's the lightness and I'm the slightly scary thing." The two singers recorded their parts separately. "It all happened really quickly," Le Bon says. "I was in New York for Fashion Rocks [on Sept. 9], and I went into the studio the next day with Rostam. It was very easy to record —I was only in the studio for about two and a half hours. I hope to get more job offers like this. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm available!" Coincidentally, Duran Duran had extended an invitation to Charli earlier this year to contribute vocals to their next album, Le Bon says. "[Duran keyboardist] Nick [Rhodes] shot photos of her for a magazine. He's been trying to get her to come and make a guest appearance, but it was just not practical due to logistical matters." Other artists assembled by Lorde for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Pt. I soundtrack include Grace Jones, the Chemical Brothers, Chvrches, the Lumineers, Diplo, and Miguel. The soundtrack will be released on Nov.17, four days ahead of the film, which is the third in the Hunger Game series. "Funnily enough, I'm a very big Jennifer Lawrence fan," Le Bon says. "I'm a little bit obsessed." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewby 9,246 Posted November 5, 2014 I'm looking forward to Grace Jones' song most of all out of any of the tracks by artists I'm a fan of on the Mockingjay soundtrack 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyBaby 2,219 Posted November 5, 2014 This Le Bon guy You guys have no idea how excited I am about this Kingdom duet. Check out Arcadia's "So Red the Rose" (side project of LeBon and Rhodes from way back) if you never have 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EXODUS 9,914 Posted November 9, 2014 I love her and I can't wait for Sucker... but she kinda blew it with releasing this on December instead of October, seems like her momentum is about to die soon.I hope this album is not a big let down, TR was great to me even though we heard like half of the album years/months prior the release.I'm here for Charli tho 2 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad she switched up her style, but wish she had a better song than "Break the Rules" to perform at these award shows. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellish 488 Posted November 10, 2014 I liked her EMA performance but I have to agree.........Break The Rules = No. Just ...No.She needs to hit us with another promo single before I lose my hype. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
