Meet Lorde, the 16-Year-Old Singer Poised to Take Over Pop Music
Praise Lorde
Back in July, with her single 'Royals' still climbing the charts (it's now No. 1), Lorde talked about her meteoric ascent, her affinity with Kanye West, and more.
At first blush, it brings to mind the sultry, melancholic croon of Lana Del Rey. Then the lo-fi beats set in and the voice begins rapping, recalling Lily Allen in her heyday, before soaring upward like a vernal Cat Power.
