The post Olivia Rodrigo Says Lorde’s “Pure Heroine” Changed Her Life appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Olivia Rodrigo revealed that Pure Heroine was the first album she bought with her own money during The Hollywood Reporter’s recent Songwriters Roundtable, featuring Billie Eilish, Cynthia Erivo, Julia Michaels, Jon Batiste, and Dua Lipa.
The “Good 4 U” singer said this album changed the trajectory of her life with its relatable lyrics “that are just about being a teenager living in the suburbs.”
“I remember listening to it as I first started writing songs and just being blown away by her lyrics… I just remember never hearing my life be put into a song like that where it just made being young and doing these seemingly unimportant things feel so sacred,” said Rodrigo.
Pure Heroine was released in 2013 as Lorde’s debut album, and it went on to sell over five million copies worldwide. Its lead single “Royals” put the young New Zealand singer on the map, but this record also produced her hit songs “Tennis Court”, “Team” and “Glory and Gore”.

]]>Lorde recently shared a pair of photos on Instagram that show the “Royals” singer sporting headphones. She captioned the post with: “Listening to myself.”
Her social media followers immediately took that as a sign that Lorde was actually listening to her new songs and began showing their excitement about the upcoming release. This prompted Lorde to respond to one of the comments by seemingly confirming that she is working on new music but also warned fans that they shouldn’t expect it anytime soon.
“We’re not CLOSE close you guys… i’m just getting so hype n needed to let u know .. start ur excitement on a low flame and bring it up to a gentle simmer .. we building stamina for this chapter,” Lorde wrote in response.
Lorde released her latest studio album, Solar Power, back in August 2021. She followed that up by sharing an extended play Te Ao Mārama, which featured five songs from Solar Power performed in the Māori language.
More recently, Lorde debuted a couple of new songs, titled “Silver Moon” and “Invisible Ink”, during her headlining performance at the 2023 Boardmasters Festival.

]]>Lorde’s fan letter saw her reflecting on the time when she started working on Pure Heroine and had nothing but some Photo Booth selfies, emotional Word documents, and Tumblr posts on her hands before turning them into something special.
“Pure Heroine exists because I had the tiniest inkling of what I’ve now come to see as one of my guiding principles: that each of us have a handful of songs inside us that are ours, and only ours, to sing… You are sitting on a gold mine that no one can rob,” wrote Lorde.
Pure Heroine made quite a splash after hitting the shelves on September 27, 2013, and Lorde created a lot of buzzes ahead of its release with her breakout hit “Royals”. This album also produced singles “Tennis Court”, “Team” and “Glory and Gore” and went on to sell five million copies worldwide, earning triple platinum certification in the United States.

]]>Lorde is currently busy promoting her latest studio album with the Solar Power Tour across North and South America, Europe, and Australia. She discussed her plans for the future during a recent performance at London’s Roundhouse and revealed she’s getting nearer to writing bright pop songs that everyone can dance to.
“You don’t always have the banger in you. We’ve had a really difficult, painful, lonely few years and artists take that, and they process it and they make something that’s maybe quieter, or more private. But the banger will always be on the horizon,” said Lorde according to NME.
The Australian singer also used this concert to celebrate the ninth anniversary of her breakout single “Royals”. She recalled sitting in her school uniform while uploading it to Soundcloud and admitted she never thought that a pop song would change her life.
Lorde’s third studio album Solar Power came out in August last year and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart.

]]>Lana Del Rey introduced us to her own signature sound on her debut album, which featured some of her biggest hits to date, including “Born to Die” and “Video Games.”
Billie Eilish’s first LP is one of the latest additions to this list, but it received more acclaim than any other debut record over the course of the past ten years.
Bruno Mars is one of the most recognizable R&B stars in the world right now, but he was still a newcomer in 2010 when his debut album gave us such breakout hits as “The Lazy Song” and “Marry You.”
Lorde was only 16 when her signature single “Royals” hit no. 1 on the charts around the world, and it was only one of many amazing tracks on her first studio record.
Janelle Monáe has been forging her own path on the R&B scene for an entire decade, and it all started with her first album The ArchAndroid, which received widespread acclaim from the critics in 2010.

]]>Since the release of “Royals” in 2013, Lorde has been very much on our radar. In 2017, she released the acclaimed Melodrama which left fans desperately craving more.
Now, it seems that the wait is almost over as Lorde has confirmed that a new album is indeed on the way. After it dawned on her that it has been two years since the release of Melodrama, she wrote: “Swells my damn heart thinking about your love for it and your willingness to go there with me and to dance the way we did together.
“The day it came out I did a jigsaw puzzle all day in my hotel room in NY. I felt so emptied, I didn’t really know yet that you make a record and get filled up and then realising it empties you and then slowly fills you up again.”
She then added: “It’s a good life you’ve given me, thankyou thankyou. Third one in the oven.”
So there you go. Lorde’s third album is on its way.

]]>Music was the most important side character in this Netflix hit, and not only because the main character just happens to be working at the legendary magazine Rolling Stone. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who wrote and directed this film, was once a music writer herself, and this film wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for her background in this industry.
The film’s title actually originates from LCD Soundsystem’s song of the same name, but this band wasn’t even her main source of inspiration.
“The songs that came first were Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ and UGK’s ‘International Players Anthem. They were the grounding places I started. I’d say ‘Supercut’ was written into the movie. It existed in the movie before any of the people in the movie existed,” explained Robinson in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“I want to say how moved I have been by what I’ve seen in Christchurch this last month. I also want to say to our Muslim community, to our brothers and sisters, you have been so strong and so resilient and so graceful, and we are with you,” said the singer.
We haven’t seen Lorde perform at a major event since her “Melodrama” world tour wrapped up last year. She’s been pretty much absent from the spotlight ever since, but hinted she’s thinking about recording a piano-based album.

“I’ve been teaching myself how to play piano, and here and there little bits come out. I think this next one will probably be born out of the piano in my house; me and my friends, keeping it simple. But we’ll see,” revealed the young hit-maker in an email sent to her fans.
Lorde also wrote she’s found herself caught in an overwhelming mix of relief, gratitude, mourning, elation, and exhaustion after the tour which wrapped up on November 17 in Mexico City.
