Lorde covers the pop issue of Clash magazine, wearing a brown turtle-neck sweater and retro hair-clips. It’s not exactly glamorous but that’s the whole point. More arresting than the teen’s outfit is her surprising revelation that she really wants to work with Dr. Luke. (Petitioners, be damned!)
The 16-year-old tells Clash: “I’ve heard from lots of people, almost too many to mention! But Dr. Luke was particularly impressive.” Why? “It’s like, ‘you’re Dr. Luke. You’re like Rambo’. He’s pop royalty.” No argument there. “He’s cool. I find what he does so fascinating,” she gushes.
The conversation then leads to artists Lorde would like to write for. “I haven’t written for other artists yet but I definitely want to,” the “Royals” hitmaker enthuses. “It’ll be such a challenge to step out of my body. I can’t wait.” And who would benefit from her talent? “Rihanna would be fun to write for because she’s done everything. And I’d love to write for, or with, Ellie Goulding.”
Lorde is also keen to write for girl bands but she has standards, saying: “girl bands are only cool if they’re so ridiculous it’s awesome, like the K-Pop girlbands with twelve people.” Take that Little Mix and Fifth Harmony.
Her music is good as it is now. Not saying working with Luke won't give her good music, but her music is very much HER OWN style. Luke is going to make it more generic...that's not good
Always love a girl whose personal philosophies are immutable when in regards to her contemporaries, but malleable to suit her needs.
Get that Electra Heart hit.
In what way does working with Dr. Luke betray her personal philosophies?
She's had no qualms praising (and making) pop music before, so her working with Dr. Luke isn't that hard to believe and it's not hypocritical in the slightest.
She is clearly trolling us now. Which means she has to be shading Rih rih
