When an artist's first single turns into one of the biggest hits of the year, becomes a global smash and goes on to win a Grammy, the question is always whether or not he or she can match that success. Well, Lorde, who's just gone through that experience, says she takes comfort in the fact that "Team," her follow-up to "Royals," is also a sizable hit.
Seventeen-year-old New Zealand singer Ella Yelich-O'Connor better known as Lorde was one of 2013's breakout stars, thanks to her massive hit "Royals," which has earned her several Grammy nominations. She wrote "Royals" in response to all the pop songs that brag about luxury items like cars and jewels, but the song actually has its secret origins in a sport that isn't even play
Every bit of this performance, the singing and sounds, is done by the ladies of AcaBelles, an a Capella group at Florida State University.
Simply amazing! It has gone viral.
A while back, Lorde made what some considered to be disparaging remarks about Taylor Swift in an interview, and then apologized on her Tumblr page. Looks like there's no hard feelings between the two singers: they apparently had lunch together in New York City this week.
Like Britney Spears before her, Lorde is a teenage singer who's achieved amazing worldwide fame, but she vows that she won't suffer the kind of public meltdown that Britney went through a few years ago, nor die young of substance abuse, as Amy Winehouse did.
Check out this amazing performance of the 16-year old Lorde's song Royals. They sound so much like her but the odd things is that the lead in the a Capella group is a dude!
