Lorde

Lorde, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor on November 7, 1996, is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who rose to international fame with her distinctive music and literate songwriting. Her breakthrough came at the tender age of 16 with the release of her debut single, "Royals," in 2013, which became a global hit and earned her two Grammy Awards including Song of the Year. Her debut album, "Pure Heroine," was critically acclaimed for its exploration of suburban adolescence and minimalist production, solidifying her place in the music industry as a unique and introspective voice.

Following the success of her debut, Lorde's sophomore effort, "Melodrama," was released in 2017 and was met with widespread critical acclaim for its thematic maturity and emotional depth, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200. After a hiatus, she returned in 2021 with her third studio album, "Solar Power," introducing a more subdued and nature-inspired sound, reflecting her meditations on fame, well-being, and the climate crisis. Alongside her studio albums, Lorde has also been involved in notable collaborations and projects, including curating the soundtrack for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1," which featured her song "Yellow Flicker Beat." Her continued evolution as an artist is characterized by her thoughtful storytelling, innovative arrangements, and an ethereal voice that has endeared her to a global audience looking for authenticity in pop music.
