Listen: Charli XCX & Simon Le Bon - Kingdom [Soundtrack Preview]

Words: Saam Das

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' (Part One) comes out in cinemas next week, and as part of the promo cycle, we've been hearing cuts from the Lorde-curated soundtrack - including efforts from CHVRCHES and Major Lazer. My favourite track thus far is the Charli XCX and Simon Le Bon piano-driven collab, 'Kingdom', which you can hear below.

Surfacing: ROSTAM

Words: Saam Das

Rostam Batmanglij might not be a name familiar to some of you. On the other hand, you might be like "hey, that's guy out of that Vampire Weekend lot". And you'd be right. He seems to be perpetually busy making music either in that band or his other band Discovery or as a "Converse All Star" or producing others. He's unveiled a couple of his own tracks lately, which you can listen to below.
