You wrote with Lorde and Ellie Goulding this time around. What was that like?
It’s a pretty tight-knit industry. The [music] industry is very concentrated. So, with the music industry back home, everyone kind of supports everybody and knows everybody. We happened to be in the studio, Lorde had the day off, and we wrote one song. It happened randomly. It was an awesome experience.

Is your upcoming record a concept record? What will people notice that’s more unique?
There’s not really a theme or anything, but it doesn’t sound like the last record. It’s not as stripped back as Evergreen was, which is cool. We definitely wrote it with playing live in mind. When you start playing shows, those songs you play [live] become your favorite. I think it’s a lot more honest, lyrically than the last record. It’s very straightforward.
