I don't LOVE this album or anything, but it's a decent listen. I respect the fact that it tries to be a bit more inventive than the usual teen pop record, and some of the results are pleasantly surprising. Ironically, I really dislike the main single so would have never sought this out if not for a random youtube link.

Anyway, it looks like she is going to become the next superstar of pop music with the hype and Grammy noms so we should have a thread about her.

I like "Royals" well enough.

Gratuitous bumping of old thread to piss off the hipsters. I freaking love Lorde. Easily my current favorite young female pop artist. Although I do wish that "Team" had been her big hit single, it's way better than "Royals".

Hey remember that overexposed teenage girl from a former British colony with a seen-it-all attitude that smugly and self-righteously commented on the social morays and whose songs all sound the same?

Yep.

 

[Incandenza]

Pretty superficial comparison, Captain.

 

[Mattdotcom]

She's a lot better than I am at snapping her fingers

 

[BUTT]

I'd much rather listen to Avril's music than "Royals," but what can I say, I've always been a punk fan.

I'm kind of over gettin' told I'm superficial.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I think you're just plain super

What does this sentence mean.

Why would anyone be 'pissed off' by the fact you bumped a thread to talk about the topic.

 

[Jingus]

Months-too-late necro-bumping is generally frowned upon, yes? Especially for something as frivolous and combative as "hey, you know this pop singer that everyone here seems to hate? Well FUCK YOU, I LUV HER."

 

[Mickey Massuco]

...except I don't know how you can gather that 'everyone' here hates her when there were two posts in the thread before you bumped it, both consisting of mild praise.

 

[Mattdotcom]

it took you two weeks to come up with that?

I believe myself vindicated.

 

[SFH]

I enjoyed her banter on the youtube show Hot Ones. She seemed like a cool person.

 

[Valeyard]

Her skull is weird but she's fine by me.

LOL

I think most of us were so used to Jingus being Jingus we skimmed his posts
