Kiwi pop star Lorde has released the music video for her latest song Yellow Flicker Beat at the same time as she turned 18.

The Kiwi pop star released the video for Yellow Flicker Beat, the lead single from the Hunger Games: Mockingjay soundtrack, at midnight.

The soundtrack is set for release on November 13, ahead of the movie, which will open in New Zealand on November 20.

Other stars on the soundtrack include Chvrches, the Chemical Brothers, Arianda Grande, Major Lazer, Tove Lo, and Kanye West.

The video shows off a new look for Lorde, with the singer sitting on a bed at the start of the video with a hairdo resembling a quiff.

She later shows off her twitchy, witchy dance moves while dressed in red in the middle of a fog-filled street.

The singer teased the release of the video yesterday with a series of tweets and stills from the video.
