Rock and Rock Hall of Famer Patti Smith wrote a song "Capital Letter" for the soundtrack of the film, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
The motion picture stars award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role of Katniss Everdeen. The soundtrack was released on November 19, 2013, through Republic and Mercury Records. It fared well on the Billboard 200 all-genre charts, debuting at No. 5. Other artists that worked on this project include Ellie Goulding, Christina Aguilera, Imagine Dragons, Lorde, Coldplay, among others. Dubbed as the "Godmother of Punk," Smith was the sole writer of the tune, which is the eleventh track featured on the album. "Capital Letter" has a haunting vibe to it t showcasing Smith's rich and raspy voice. Its lyrics contain vivid imagery and it is as authentic as it gets. It is a little mocking, especially since it is a warning to the Capitol about Katniss. As Smith revealed in her interview with Vanity Fair, the tune features her son on guitar and her daughter on piano, thus making it a true family affair. The song made its world debut when Smith played it live at The Space at Westbury on December 28, as Digital Journal previously reported, in a performance that was well-received by the New York audience. The Verdict Overall, Patti Smith delivers on "Capital Letter" and it is great that the veteran rocker has new music out there, especially for a track on a major motion picture soundtrack such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. It garners 4 out of 5 stars.
