Lorde has 'complete creative freedom' on 'Mockingjay' soundtrack

It was recently confirmed that 'Royals' songstress Lorde had signed up to curate the soundtrack for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1', and the details of her deal has now been revealed. 

Carianne Marshall, Songs' head of creative licensing, explained that Lorde's only condition for taking on the project was that she had complete control over the soundtrack and the artists that would feature on it:

"It’s a nontraditional deal. Lionsgate had to be flexible -- there was quite a bit of back and forth. Lorde was not going to do this without complete creative freedom.”

The 17-year-old superstar spoke to Billboard about the film and the work she has been doing on the soundtrack, and confessed that she has put so much care into it that it's like 'her baby':

"I was really keen to curate it. I had this idea that it would be really cool and I think I know what is the right sound for the project. So they were really into it and it just started happening. It's really been my baby, which is awesome."
