[Closed] That NZ singer - Lorde

Incredible talent though.

And the American accent... you're from Auckland, AUCKLAND!

Didn't she used to be a Scandanavian metal band?

Ms monotone half talk ,half rhyme = unique sound, er no thanks she and her music are dull as **** after the first, second and third same sounding song.

Only once someone else has either remixed or done a cover of it does it even have musical qualities I noted the other day

Royals was kinda Hummy for a bit, but it has been played to death, and she does come across as a bit, ummmmmm high maintenance

Lana Del Ray.... ?

middle aged men in 'its all noise' shocker

Pure heroine was up there for album of the year for me last year, along with Foals. its a beautiful album, from start to finish.

[i]middle aged men in 'its all noise' shocker[/i]

Really? Where??

It's ok pop music. The speech impediment used in the latest single puts me off cos it's a bit
pub-singer-y.

(And Foals? I like em, but not exactly cutting edge originality is it?)

Go and see them live, seriously. Best gig I've been to in years

I can offer an alternate view that she comes across as quite normal. I know her music teacher who encouraged her not that long ago. Her family are normal and she is simply a girl who has gone from nothing to heaps really quickly. Music wise it's well put together but not my thing

[i]Go and see them live, seriously. Best gig I've been to in years[/i]

That's nothing to do with what I said. I would like to see em live, actually.

Blimey - [s]she[/s] you come across as a proper [s]beatch[/s] grumpy old ****.

God only knows what [s]her[/s] your parents are like.

I was offered a job recently I heard lots of things but reserved judgment based on NEVER having been

However NZcols post has confirmed it screws with your perspective of reality and sends you back to the 80s depressive sounds era

Look into her back story. Makes for some interesting reading, and tells you of how the modern music industry works.

If you could remain normal while operating in the pop music industry at that level, you're probably some sort of sociopath tbh.

Wonder what she thinks about scottish independence? Also, see if you can find that video of the gigantic clown singing Royals, it's really kinda cool.

I'm not middle aged and I still think it is pish...

But ive never really been a pop music fan.

Goth girl from the first series of Peep Show?

It's ok pop music.

I think it's better than average pop music myself, but that's about as far as I think about it or her.

[i]I think it's better than average pop music myself[/i]

I thought that.. until I heard the album.

All hype over substance im afraid. Its trendy to think shes effing awesome, just because everyone else tells everyone else that shes awesome. People used to have opinions.

When you think of what The Kids like these days she's like bloomin Bach in comparison.

i always think its natasha bedingfield

I like her. Saw her interviewed on BBC 24 hour news.
She seemed well spoken, intellectual and generally an ok person.
Her music is pleasant enough. Granted not the best singer ever but compared to some tripe in commercial music (take the untallented monkey that is Lilly Allen) she is a breath of fresh air.

[i]i always think its natasha bedingfield[/i]

That's just evil.

Blimey - she comes across as a proper beatch.

Talk about overly confident and high maintenance. And she's only 17.
God only knows what her parents are like.

and the American accent

without any self-realization.

This. Finding good music that appeals to a wide audience is actually rather hard!!

Oh **** I have no idea who you are talking about.

It's official. Sandals and socks for me this summer 🙁

POSTED 5 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

That's what you/I say now..... 😉

I did ask the mods for a name change 🙁

Mentioned this earlier in the thread but home now so can post it- I really like this, though it makes no sense

I especially like that he can't hit the low notes that she can 😆
