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.
