I forgot about Lorde.
Two years ago she was the biggest thing in music, wasn’t she? Her debut album was the hottest record out there and she epitomized the smart millennial mindset that scoffed at superficiality while grooving to Beyoncé and Drake.
She was cool, weird, talented and on her way to super stardom before she even turned 18.
In Billboard’s sixth slot is ‘Team,’ the latest single from Lorde’s juggernaut Pure Heroine.
‘Team’ is a sister song to ‘Royals,’ with the same “we live in cities you’ll never see onscreen” message and disdain for hip-hop excess. Here she sums up that boredom with the great line, “I’m kind of over gettin’ told to throw my hands up in the air… so there.”
Guest blogger Dana continues…
Truth be told, I would probably put ‘Royals’ in this spot, but, since you have already featured that one on your blog, I am going instead here with another major favorite.
I came to ‘Royals,’ like most people (other than you:-)), through radio play. But I came to discover ‘Tennis Court’ through my daughter’s obsession with Lorde and her purchase of the album (Thank you iCloud!).
