Pure heroine

2013 debut album from New Zealand singer/songwriter Ella Yelich-O'Connor AKA Lorde. It'd be easy to mistake Ella for a seasoned tunesmith from the American South, one who carries a heavy heart that's been ravaged by careless men over time. But in truth, Lorde recorded these songs as a 16-year old Kiwi championed by the likes of Perez Hilton and Grimes. She has a timeless knack for songcraft with a sophisticated pop savvy that most people over 30 can't find without collaboration. Lorde needs no collaborative hacks -- she writes and sings her own songs. Even when she sings in her higher vocal range about teenage politics, Lorde carries herself with the grace and poise of someone like Beth Orton.

  • "The moment the world has been waiting for. Virtual overnight success LORDE brings the world her debut LP - Pure Heroine. LORDE was widely anointed as the highlight of this year's 'Splendour in the Grass' after she was called in to replace Frank Ocean at the 11th hour. An estimated 10,000 fans crammed into the Super Top to catch Lorde's ten song set, which comprised favourites from her debut EP and 5 brand new tracks. A truly a magic moment, made all the more special by the fact that it was only her eighth ever show. It's not just Australia that LORDE is winning over. She recently mesmerised US audiences with two sold-out, jam-packed performances in LA and New York. 'Royals' has peaked the number one spot on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart, making her the first female solo artist to do so since Tracey Bonham's 'Mother Mother', in 1996 (i.e., before Lorde was even born). LORDE's unique, mature voice is refreshingly unlike anything else charting at the moment. Pure Heroine is a complete 10 track delivery of the story of LORDE."
