<3 Lorde, byname of Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor (born November 7, 1996, Takapuna, New Zealand), New Zealand singer-songwriter who was known for lyrics that exhibited a mature, jaded worldview.Lorde was raised in the suburbs of Auckland and demonstrated a knack for public performance at an early age. At age 12 she was signed to a development contract with the Universal Music Group after an agent received footage of her singing at a middle-school talent show. A lifelong fascination with royalty and aristocracy inspired her stage name, although she appended an e to the end, as she felt that “Lord” was too masculine.This week we will be featuring her latest album Melodrama. Powered by the lead single “Green Light,” Lorde’s sophomore album, Melodrama (2017), was greeted with an overwhelmingly positive critical reception. Melodrama’s 11 songs explored themes of youth and womanhood with a sound that drew on influences ranging from modern electronic dance music to retro Europop to the soaring vocals of early Kate Bush. <3http://joy.org.au/magicportals/wp-content/uploads/sites/350/2017/09/Episode-33_mixdown.mp3Ep 3300:03:30 – Lorde – Green Light00:07:19 – Lorde – Sober00:10:30 – Lorde – Homemade Dynamite00:13:34 – Lorde – The Louvre00:17:49 – Lorde – Liability00:20:28 – Lorde – Hard Feelings / Loveless00:26:13 – Lorde – Sober II (Melodrama)00:28:57 – Lorde – Writer In The Dark00:31:32 – Lorde – Supercut00:36:50 – Lorde – Liability (Reprise)00:39:02 – Lorde – Perfect Places Transitional Audio Clips60 Minutes – Lorde opens up on the meaning of her hit song Liability – YouTubeLorde Interview on Australia TV (2017) – YouTubeThe post Melodrama appeared first on Magic Portals.
