The
movie franchise has Jennifer Lawrence to both create new songs and hire other
artists to write and perform material of their own. The new work follows the
main strategy of the last soundtrack: It throws echo around everything and lets
dense, ambient sound creep over the voices and instruments. Like the previous
“Games” album, “Mockingjay” has a distinct ’80s feel, evident in its
more-is-more approach. The opening track, “Meltdown,” piles on too many
players, including Lorde, two rappers (Pusha T and Q-Tip) and the vocal trio
Haim. Other songs recall the Reagan-era sounds of Kate Bush (the group Chvrches
on “Dead Air”) or Peter Gabriel (Bat for Lashes’ “Plan the Escape”).
