Introducing Ella Yelich-O'Connor aka: Lorde
Just go ahead and add her to the Holy Trinity of “Lana Del
Rey, Frank Ocean and Florence & The Machine”. She will completely re-vamp
your summer music playlist.
At only 16 years old, she has a certain maturity and
darkness that’s simply all consuming. Her music is so incredibly refined with
the deep bass and striking harmony, and an incredible echoing range, it just
comes across so crisp. It is
seriously only a matter of time before she blows up, and one of her songs is featured a steamy episode of “The Vampire Diaries” (The song "It Feels Better Biting
Down" would be perfect). Or maybe an episode of “Girls” on HBO.
I can
completely see “Million Dollar Bills” in an episode.
Her lyrics are hard-hitting and whimsical at the same time
capturing the voice of the “get rich or die trying” generation. Her new song
“Royals” cleverly touches how we’re all linked through our non-royal status,
just “driving Cadillacs in our dreams”. She’s so fresh with this killer style and a ‘no fucks given’
kind of swag. It really makes you wonder what’s going on in the US…where are
the individuals? How does everyone just sound the same? Her sound stands out in such an obvious way, I’m praying that through all of the predicted fame that has yet to ensue, she stays true to her truly unique sound.
*Sigh*
Having said that- you’re going to want to snatch her EP ‘The
Love Club” while it’s around $4.00 because I can tell you that it won’t be that
way for much longer.
