that's because she sang with the backtrack 90% of the time.
In fact most of the indie girls do that including twigs/banks/jessy ware
could any of these girls do this:
The majority of BTD era lana sang all her songs ACOUSTICALLY even in big concerts and festivals.
d; the only "backtrack" Lorde uses is her backing harmonies It's not like she pulls a gags and sings under the main vocals - there is no main vocal track in any of her live performances
Also yes Lana's sings translate well into acoustic because that's how they were originally made, with live backing, strings, etc. The entirety of Pure Heroine is electronic - there is only one instrument on one sing on the entire album. Why would you do an electronic album acoustically?
