Stay cool, 'cause we're Catching Fire in this
week's AllMusic New Releases Roundup.
The next round of the Hunger Games begins
Friday, but you can start your Catching Fire
experience now by taking the soundtrack for
a spin.
Where the first flick favored brooding folk,
the Catching Fire takes inspiration from the
decadent Capitol and collects anthemic songs
from artists like Coldplay, Christina Aguilera
and even punk icon Patti Smith.
The beat goes on with the latest from Memphis
rapper Yo Gotti.
'I Am' smooths out the stitched-together sound
of his mainstream debut last year, serving
hard-hitting jams like "I Know" and more easy-flowing
grooves like "Cold Blood" with J. Cole.
And when it's time to wind down, check out
Jake Bugg's sophomore album, Shangri La.
Joined by super producer Rick Rubin, the young
singer-songwriter goes electric but doesn't
sacrifice the earthiness of his '60s folk-rock
throwback.
