Her voice, the melodies, the arrangements she’s chosen to help landscape her feelings - this critically-acclaimed second album is particularly fetching because the 20-year-old singer trusts her idiosyncrasies to fuel her eloquence. “Let’s let things come out of the woodwork,” she coos on “Homemade Dynamite.” That’s what makes the six performances of ‘VEVO X Lorde’ so powerful as well. All her best ideas naturally seep to the surface. Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New York’s West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from ‘Melodrama,’ providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion. The set list features “The Louvre,” “Sober,” “Writer In The Dark,” “Supercut,” “Homemade Dynamite,” and “Hard Feelings”/ “Loveless” – she chose to spotlight some of the album’s most vivid moments. Whether backed by a small ensemble, playing the piano alone, or singing a cappella with a squad of vocalists and a beatbox, she brings invention and intensity to the performances. The soft addition of strings and brass adds to the show’s intimacy, and the drama that she’s built a rep on is central to every moment. Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, who produced and co-wrote parts of ‘Melodrama,’ arrives on “Writer In The Dark” to support his pal as well.

Megaphone to my chest Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it [Chorus] Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it [Verse 3] Our thing progresses I call and you come through Blow all my friendships To sit in hell with you But we’re the greatest They’ll hang us in the Louvre Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall) I’m just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?) Nothing wrong with it Supernatural Just move in close to me, closer, you’ll feel it coasting [Pre-Chorus] A rush at the beginning I get caught up, just for a minute But lover, you're the one to blame All that you’re doing Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it [Chorus] Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Director: Micah Bickham Producer: Ed Walker, Micah Bickham, Emily Louick, Contrast Films Editor: Senior Post Watch Lorde on Vevo: vevo.com/artist/lorde facebook.com/vevo twitter.com/vevo instagram.com/vevo vevo.tumblr.com LORDE Website: lorde.co.nz Instagram: instagram.com/LordeMusic Twitter: twitter.com/Lorde Facebook: facebook.com/LordeMusic vevo.ly/jL8Kax
