About the Artist- Lorde

In this blog I'm going to show who the artist to my song is, information about her and her relationship with the song. 

Lorde

Ella Yelich-O'Connor, known to her fans by her show name Lorde, is 17 years old and from New Zealand. Ella has been writing songs from the age of 13 and that was the age that she got signed to a agent which was "Universal". As her parents are artists themselves its always been important to her that her work is very pure. I believe the reason for her success is the difference in her songs as they tell the truth and are about real things that people go though. Her song Royals was her fist song out in the public to "explode", she made her dambue with this song in the New Zealands top 40, and later on New Zealand local radio in 2013. 

The name Lorde was adopted as she was obsessed with the royal family, it started off being Lord but she felt it was too manly so added a "e" to make it more womanly. 

Since her rise to fame she has been nominated for many awards, in October 2013 she won the 2013 Silver Scroll Award, for the 56th Grammy Awards Lorde got nominated four times and won two awards which where Song Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance and in Febuary 2014 she was chosen International Female Solo Artists at the BRIT awards. 

I believe the reason people have related to this young star so well is the fact that she's young, her fan bases it her age so she knows what to do and what not to do- although some of the older stars try and understand they can't really relate whereas she can.
He other hit songs for 2013/14 are Tennis Court and Team- both these songs are from the first album Pure Heroine which was released 13th December 2013, by Universal Music Group.
