The latest present from the star-studded soundtrack to the upcoming “Hunger Games” movie, “Catching Fire,” is a song from The Weeknd called “Devil May Cry.”The record started off with The Weeknd’s smooth alto that was soon emphasized with some back up singers, and eventually the track switch over into an powerful rock pop number perfectly suited to a big Hollywood blockbuster. 

The record was produced by full-bearded recording guru Rick Rubin, The Weeknd has gone on record and that “I wanted to go for an uplifting and conquering yet melancholy mood. Rick Rubin helped me bring it to life.” 

The soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be available on November 19th, with the film hitting theaters shortly afterwards on November 22nd. However, you can stream the full soundtrack on iTunes right now, which includes contributions from Coldplay, Lorde, The National, Diplo, and more.
