Lorde / Music Forum // Drowned In Sound

Lorde

The 16-year-old singer from New Zealand has become the first woman in 17 years to top the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

Her EP 'Love Club' has already become pretty popular, and her debut album comes out next month.

Body_In_The_Thames made a prophetic call about her in February, saying that he "can't see this girl remaining 'undiscovered' for long".

- 'less hateful'?
  
  She's way more 'upbeat' (maybe not lyrically but her music doesn't sound like it's dragging on and on) and I'm not really sure she even sounds like her to be honest. People are just desperate to draw 'cool' comparisons.

  the only comparison really is that they're both woman and both in the alt music scene.
