LORDE - PURE HEROINE [LP]

1 Tennis Court 2 400 Lux 3 Royals 4 Ribs 5 Buzzcut Season 6 Team 7 Glory and Gore 8 Still Sane 9 White Teeth Teens 10 A World Alone Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 debut album from New Zealand singer/songwriter Ella Yelich-O'Connor AKA Lorde. It'd be easy to mistake Ella for a seasoned tunesmith from the American South, one who carries a heavy heart that's been ravaged by careless men over time. But in truth, Lorde recorded these songs as a 16-year old Kiwi championed by the likes of Perez Hilton and Grimes. She has a timeless knack for songcraft with a sophisticated pop savvy that most people over 30 can't find without collaboration. Lorde needs no collaborative hacks - she writes and sings her own songs.
