Pure Heroine
0 CommentsLorde releases her debut studio album titled Pure Heroine. The ten track album features songs from her EP The Love Club as well as brand new tracks. Lorde collaborated with Joel Little to produce the record.
I honestly don’t think about anyone else listening to my music at all. And I don’t think that’s a very healthy thing to do, maybe. It’s best to just write exactly what you want to hear, and if people like it, then that’s cool. I’ve never thought about writing up or writing down. I’m just writing at eye level with other people.
Team
0 CommentsLorde releases her single Team. Team is the third single featured on her debut studio album Pure Heroine.
In that song, there are a few lines which are kind of me being the “realistic” pop star: “We live in cities you’ll never see onscreen,” which is like, no one comes to New Zealand, no one knows anything about New Zealand, and here I am, trying to grow up and become a person. I’ve been countering that with going to New York and seeing this place that’s in every movie and every TV show. Part of me wanted to go back to writing for me and for my friends, and write something that I felt related to us a little bit.
Royals
0 CommentsLorde releases her debut single Royals. The single is featured on her extended play album The Love Club. Lorde wrote the lyrics to Royals herself in half an hour.
Yeah, I was just at my house, and I wrote it before I went to the studio. I wrote it in like half an hour—the lyrics, anyway. I wrote all the lyrics and took them to the studio and my producer (Joel Little) was like, “Yeah, this is cool.” We worked on that and on two other songs on the EP in a week, and just did a little bit every day.
The Love Club EP
0 CommentsLorde releases her first collection of music titled The Love Club. The Love Club is an EP release featuring her songs Royals and Tennis Court. She releases the EP without doing any media promotion.
It definitely wasn’t difficult for me. In a perfect world, I would never do any interviews, and probably there would be one photo out there of me, and that would be it. I just feel like mystery is more interesting. People respond to something which intrigues them instead of something that gives them all the information—particularly in pop, which is like the genre for knowing way too much about everyone and everything.
