Initially bursting forthwith our speakers in 2012 before her debut EP ‘The Love Club’ was removed for free download on SoundCloud due to over 600,000 downloads, the 17 year old New Zealand youngster Lorde has claimed to hit back with a new and ‘totally different’ album.
Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, better known by her stage name ‘Lorde’, first caught the attention of Lava Records after her first EP caught ground-breaking attention over SoundCloud. Soon after the EP was released digitally and then on CD which includes the debut hit “Royals” which climbed the top of the New Zealand charts in 2013.
Lorde then went on to claim more and more notoriety and global success, becoming the youngest artist to hold the US number one nearly three decades. Her second EP “Tennis Court” and went straight to the top of the New Zealand Top 40 charts. Finally fans of her music were relieved to hear the announcement over twitter that she was to debut her first full album “Pure Heroine” on august 12th 2013.
Now Lorde has announced a new and totally different album to be released; “I wrote the last album about that world which was the suburb where I grew up and populated by my friends and people who were really familiar to me. Now I’m in a different place every day and I’m with new people every day and it’s a different vibe” she told BBC.
The singer will also be playing alongside The Replacements, The Hold Steady and The National at the Boston Calling Festival which runs between September 5th to the 7th. If there was a better place to see some amazing music, I would recommend this event, but for those of us still stuck in the isles the girl herself will be playing tonight and tomorrow in London and also will be supporting Arcade Fire on Saturday 7th.
