Lorde

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" (Tears for Fears cover)

Tears for Fears released their classic 1985 single "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" more than a decade before Lorde was born, but now the teenage New Zealand pop sensation has shared her cover of the tune.

This chilly cover comes from the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which comes out next week (November 19) through Republic Records. Far from the synth-dazzled original, Lorde's version is sparse, slowed down, dubby, and creepy as hell.
