Perth rockers Tame Impala are teaming up with Kendrick Lamar on the soundtrack to the film Divergent, set to be this year’s teen-fantasy blockbuster. The song is a reworking of Tame Impala’s Feels Like We Only Go Backwards with Lamar on vocals, called simply Backwards.
The stacked soundtrack also features a bunch of other indie favourites, including, M83, Ellie Goulding, Zedd (whose song you can check out below), Skrillex. Plus other notable collaborations between A$AP Rocky and Gesaffelstein and a track by YouTube sensation Pia Mia which features Chance the Rapper.
Kendrick Lamar recently collaborated with Nevada rock band Imagine Dragons for a notable performance of their hit Radioactive at this year’s Grammy Awards. After the ceremony, Imagine Dragons released a remix of their hit featuring Lamar’s contained-storm of a solo rap verse.
The Divergent: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is due out internationally on March 11, with the film, which is an adaptation of Veronica Roth‘s best-selling dystopian young adult novel, due in theatres on March 21.
