Praise the Lorde!

Lorde and a dog.

            

Have you ever heard a song about diamonds on your timepiece, jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash? Neither have I. But the Lord has, apparently. Oh, I mean Lorde. Who is that you ask? She is a seventeen year old singer (pretty young, right), and her real name is Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor according to Wikipedia. By her name, you can probably tell that she is not pure American. She came from Devonport, New Zealand. She is still a teen so she isn't that influenced by all of the paparazzi. She even said in Team, "  Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things..." In other songs, her lyrics criticize other people, herself, or  just humanity in general.

So let's all admit, she’s kind of a rebel. Don’t worry Obama, she’s a music rebel. If you have heard Team, you know what I’m saying. She says “I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there” and then in Tennis Court she says “Baby be the class clown; I'll be the beauty queen in tears; It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah); We’re so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear; Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)”. She is not like all the other singers who always sings about their love problems like Adele, but she criticizes every picture perfect teen, or White Teeth Teens. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD_PyhJehjA ) But in that song, she also states: "I am not a white teeth teen; I tried to join but never did." So she's different, but unique. 

And that's why we love her.

She has made many songs like Tennis Court, Royals, Buzzcut Season, Glory and Gore, Still Sane, A World Alone, and Team. (My personal favorite often varies.) If you have no idea what I’m talking about, click there to watch the Royals video: ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc (just so you know, I have no idea how the video relates to the song. Tell me if it does by comment.) She is very weird in her own way. When she performed Royals at the Grammy Awards, she was very twitchy (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/grammys-lorde-performs-royals-674189) and she didn't sound exactly the same, I honestly like her much better in the album Pure Heroine, but she was still being herself. Cause, just think, where were/will/are at the age of seventeen? Most likely not a pop singer who preformed at the Grammy's. So respect the Lorde!
