Raury Interview: 'Hunger Games,' Lorde & Being "Proud of All Young Artists"

Back in 2014, then-18-year-old Georgia artist Raury got a big look with an appearance on the Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 soundtrack. Curator Lorde tweeted she was a fan, Raury recovered from the initial surprise, they started emailing and…voilà. 

After hearing Lorde was looking to appeal to “a younger crowd”—the disc ended up including Miguel, Pusha T, CHVRCHES, Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Major Lazer, Kanye West and Tinashe—Raury sent over his song, “Lost Souls,” the same week.
