Lorde thinks her massive hit Royals sounds like an old ringtone and it's 'disastrous' and 'awful'
LORDE dislikes her breakout single ROYALS because the beat sounds like an old cell phone ringtone.
Lorde hates listening to the original version of the single, branding it "disastrous" and "awful".
She tells Britain's Daily Record newspaper, "I listen to people covering the song and putting their own spin on it, and I listen to it in every single form except the original one I put out and I realise that actually it sounds horrible."
She's probably just sick of it. It happens. You'd think it sounds like an old-ringtone if you had to sing it and perform it live at least once a day, and then constantly hear it on the radio.
I love Lorde but I absolutely despise when artists say things like that. It makes them sound ungrateful (even though she's talking about her own song).
I remember when the album first came out, she said that there was one song on it that she wished had been left off. It was pretty obvious that that was Royals, otherwise I'm sure the label would've let her leave off whatever song it was.
