The lineup for the companion album for “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” has been announced, and it’s packed out, with no fewer than 29 tracks, featuring well-established rock, country and Americana acts like Ella Langley, Tyler Childers, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks and the Cure as well as a slew of newcomers. Cast members Jennifer Lawrence, Mckenna Grace and Whitney Peak also figure into the track listing with new material. Executive-produced by Dave Cobb, “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Album)” comes out Nov. 13 on MCA, the Nashville label where Cobb is now one of the top executives.
It arrives one week in advance of the highly anticipated prequel film, which will be in theaters Nov. 20. Lawrence, who is understood to have a small role in the film, is represented with a song on the soundtrack titled “Deep in the Meadow.” A song by Peak, “The Raven,” leads off the album. Grace’s track is “Half Alive.” Three of the songs have already been announced and released, with the lead single having been Noah Kahan’s “Draw You Out,” followed by fresh tracks that also came out in October from the Smashing Pumpkins and Gigi Perez.
Langley, who has the biggest single of 2026 in “Choosin’ Texas” and also the year’s second biggest album to date, contributes “Here Then We’re Gone” to the album. Others contributing new songs to the album include Mckenna Grace, Madison Cunningham, Violet Grohl, Noah Cyrus, Lizzy McAlpine, Carter Faith and Kashus Culpepper. A handful of the songs are new remixes or unreleased live versions of previously existing songs, including Musgraves’ “Ruthless (The Arena Mix),” Nicks’ “Doing the Best That I Can (Arena Mix),” the Cure’s “Alone (Live in Berlin 2022)” and Depeche Mode and Karyyn’s “Survive (Arena Mix/Karyyn Rework).” This is an old-fashioned “inspired by”-type album, where few of the songs included are likely to be in the film, as was the case with previous collections in the “Hunger Games” franchise.
An album of the score, by James Newton Howard, will be released alongside the film Nov. 20. 01 | The Raven I – Whitney Peak02 | Ash and Snow – Noah Cyrus03 | First in Line – Stephen Wilson Jr04 | See It Coming – Bella Kay05 | The Wheel – Lizzy McAlpine06 | The Raven II – Whitney Peak07 | Dove Song – Sydney Rose08 | Here Then We’re Gone – Ella Langley09 | Wrestle with God – Madeline Edwards10 | Ruthless (Arena Mix) – Kacey Musgraves11 | No Destination – Billy Vincent12 | The Raven III – Whitney Peak13 | Favor – Gigi Perez14 | But You Wanted More – Hudson Freeman15 | Black Stars – The Smashing Pumpkins16 | Half Alive – Mckenna Grace17 | Doing The Best That I Can (Arena Mix) – Stevie Nicks18 | The Goose and The Common – Whitney Peak19 | Survive (Arena Mix | KÁRYYN Rework) – Depeche Mode & KÁRYYN20 | Same Blood – Emelie Trahan21 | May Brings Flowers – Kashus Culpepper22 | The Old Therebefore – Scot Greenan23 | Can’t Let You Go – Carter Faith24 | Old Money – Tyler Childers25 | Show Me Where The Ending Starts – Madison Cunningham26 | Deep in the Meadow – Jennifer Lawrence27 | Draw You Out – Noah Kahan28 | Metal Birds – Violet Grohl29 | Alone (Live in Berlin 2022) – The Cure
