classy indie-tinged electro-pop from the 16-year-old New Zealander Ella Yelich-O'Connor who has established herself as one of the most original, individualistic & talked-about new artists.
her stunning debut takes cues from little dragon, grimes, james blake & the poppier end of the musical spectrum to deliver a truly beautiful record. "a phenomenal record. Heavily refined over the years, her unique sound has morphed into total pop heaven. Simplistic production & slow jam grooves provide the backdrop, allowing continuity from beginning to end, so there’s plenty of scope for Lorde to experiment. That is, play around with her remarkable voice, alloying sing-talk with proper, awesome belting. Throughout, she owns a mature control over her vocal, veering past higher & lower octaves, from jaunty to laconic rhythms. It’s all very here & now" - thisisfakediy.
