New Music - Lorde

I have been missing the boat on the whole Lorde thing, at least when it comes to writing about her. She isn’t really my type of thing, but I do think that the girl is phenomenally creative and talented.

I genuinely thought she was going to be a one hit wonder, but the New Zealand native’s second single “Team” cracked the Hot 100’s top ten last month, and now she’s aiming to make it three for three.

“Glory and Gore” is the official third single off ‘Pure Heroine’ (which has now sold one million copies, making it the first debut album from a woman to do so in years), and it’s being sent to radio soon.

The song is almost TOO cool, throwing away ideas of rhyme schemes and power choruses for head-down dancing beats and bloody imagery. Is this a top 40 hit? Well, I would have said no, but she’s proved me wrong before.
