Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

a 16 year old New Zealand sensation, (& she didn't come from any reality singing shows either) Her song "Royals" is one of the biggest songs in the country with it being at number 1 on itunes & 3 on the hot 100

cannot get that damn Royals song out of my head.

album was streaming on VH1 recently.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

The album is good. Great debut, especially for her age.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

I happened to hear her on Ryan Seacrests radio show & he almost sounded dumbfounded that a 16 year old could get a record contract & not be from a reality singing show. :lol: She writes all of her songs as well which as we know is very rare in the pop music industry

a 94/100 review from Billboard

Very good stuff. I like the production on "400 Lux" a lot.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, great album. The production on "Tennis Court" is very slick and probably my favorite song on the album.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

For the 2 people awake, she is performing Royals on Fallon tonight.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

You know as much shit as people still give Fallon, It's still pretty cool to tune in and see the host of a show singing/humming the musical guest's song to the point where the audience is singing along.

I'll take it over Letterman & his 'i have no idea who the hell this is but here they are anyways" approach.

link to both performances

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

I did appreciate the time on Letterman when The Heavy played a song he actually enjoyed (seems rare) and he had them do an immediate encore. That was kind of fun.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

She covers Tears for Fears Everybody Wants to Rule the World

That would make for an amazing Bond movie opening.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

Finally picked this up. I'm really enjoying it. Hard to believe she is only 16.

I guess she just turned 17, but I guess I should say I'm surprised a 16 year old made an album like this.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

Every time I hear her sing "care" from the song Royals I think of South Park.
Especially the song fatty doo doo. I hear "cyair"

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

I hardly EVER buy music anymore, but I bought her EP on iTunes many months before Royals got hot. I just loved her voice and the songs (and I'm a 43 year old man!).

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

new song called "No Better" apparently its an outtake from the Pure Heroine sessions. was released to itunes this morning

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

I saw her on the Grammy's and she looks old and awkward. It was very weird. She's very talented, though.

re: Lorde -- Discussion Thread
 

Because she doesn't give a fuck about what pop stars should look like. She intentionally did her hair that way and dressed that way on the biggest stage of her life. That takes balls.
