Violet Grohl shares “dystopian” new song ‘Metal Birds’ from ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping’

Jogos Vorazes: A Balada dos Pássaros Cantores e Cobras.

1. Say Now – ‘Say What You See’ EP review: another step closer to becoming girls of the moment.
2. The unbelievable truth of Twisted Teens: the New Orleans punks preaching the gospel of fast, cheap and out of control.
3. Kofi Stone is getting comfortable with life’s contradictions.

The slow-burning, atmospheric track arrived today (Friday November 13), ahead of the sixth film in the Hunger Games franchise, which hits cinemas on November 20.

Isso marca o primeiro material de Grohl desde que lançou seu aclamado álbum de estreia, ‘Be Sweet To Me’, em maio.

She added: “And I took mental notes of lots of things I had seen, and they really stuck with me. And so the songwriting process came really easily and was really fun.”.

Produced by Justin Raisen and Lewis Pesacov, ‘Metal Birds’ finds Grohl singing over a moody, stripped-back instrumental: “Metal birds in the sky/ Come and take me away/ Generator, power breaker / Look at me through the embers.”.

Later in the song, the simple electric guitar work is accompanied by some increasingly lush orchestral elements. “Kiss you with a smile/ Death hung around my neck,” Grohl adds.

Vamos deixar isso por um tempo / Eu vou colocar as flores no seu peito / Olhos abertos são para o choro.

Out today, ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping (The Album)’ also features cuts by Stevie Nicks, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves and many more.

Grohl made her debut appearances at Reading & Leeds over the summer after postponing two UK shows due to illness. She’ll play her rescheduled gigs in Glasgow and Manchester next month, after opening for Beabadoobee in Europe.

Ela viajará para o Japão, Austrália e América do Sul no início de 2027, antes de se apresentar no Coachella, na Califórnia, em abril. Grohl também foi confirmado para o Bilbao BBK Live do próximo ano na Espanha.

The singer-songwriter’s slot at Leeds Festival featured in NME‘s round-up of the most magical moments from R&L ’26. She has since covered The Cure’s classic track ‘High’, hailing it as “such a cute love song”, and played on Later.

Earlier in the year, Grohl opened up about being a young woman in rock: “I don’t like male musicians my age – I don’t care. They have attitude problems. They’ve been saying this about us for so fucking long – it’s time that they sit down, be quiet and play their music.

O pai dela – o vocalista dos Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl – revelou anteriormente que ele “no idea” de que a filha havia assinado um contrato de gravadora até que ela lhe contou durante o jantar.
