The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt.1 (Original Motion Picture Score) – James Newton HowardCustomer ReviewsGreat as usual from Howard, but The Hanging Tree is amazing! (5 stars)Who knew Jennifer Lawrence had such a great voice? So haunting and a great arrangement for the song! Perfect (5 stars) Unlike many of the critics, who weren't too keen on this installment - I LOVED Mockingjay Part 1, it stayed true to the books and set up the transition into the epic finale that will be Part 2. Unlike the critics, I know that at this point, Katniss cannot just wake up and be happy - she is traumatized and damaged - and Mr. James Newton Howard has sculpted a perfect score to portray these emotions. It blends themes from both The Hunger Games THE HANGING TREE! (5 stars) So glad it's on this album! I really don't know why JLaw thinks she sounds like a "deer stuck in a fence." She has a beautiful voice and would make a great R&B singer.
