Lorde ditches Pure Heroine producer for second album
Quote:
The producer of Lorde's Grammy-winning debut says he's no longer working on the follow-up because the pop star is "trying to do something different".
Little said he wasn't producing "at this point" the follow-up to Pure Heroine, Ella Yelich O'Conner's 2013 album that netted two Grammys and turned the Devonport teen into a household name.
"We wrote together, but I'm not producing the record ... This time I'm coming at it more as a fan than being super involved. I'm excited to see what she's working on."
Little said he would probably be first to hear the finished record when it was done.
"I'm sure she'll play it (to me) before anyone hears it. I've heard a lot, we've worked on it a lot. She's trying to do something different as well (and) working with other producers is a part of that, and so I haven't heard any finished (songs) or any of that stuff," he said.
I don't see what the problem is with taking her time. I wish more artists would do that actually. It's not like she's hyping up her music or tossing out false album release dates
