World Alone - Lorde


Young Talent Coming Through Soft Strength
Most people only know her for her song Royals, but the rest her debut album is worth your time for a few listens, you may find some things that intrigue your ears. World Alone moves away from her more electro/pop sounding songs. She is talented, a lot more than I originally thought. With a few crisp guitar chords and a strong bass drum, and progressive precision melded with her voice, the opening can be quite enveloping. Her voice is raw and full of personality, it is a little unrefined, if we compare her to Adele or Hayley Williams we see that she has a way to go. She doesn’t take many risks with her voice, but the soothing way her voice comes out is really good. The voices in the background as if in a dinner goes well with the song and creates a good sense of what the song is trying to say, that we should embrace who we are and ignore the others who judge and live for the world. The high guitar chords layered with bass synths go great with her voice and never seem to get old. A good song, that was overlooked by the public and show off Lorde’s ability to write and perform more original music.
