“We’ve been talking to Lorde via Skype arranging tonight’s performance and although she looks quite different to her photographs, her voice seems to have altered slightly since Pure Heroine last year and she seems to be suffering some kind of demonic possession, we’re still looking forward to the collaboration.
"We offered to rework her hit single ‘Royals’ but instead she said she wanted us to concentrate on two other songs we weren’t familiar with, ‘Bringing Back The Balls To Rock’ and ‘Hellbender Turbulence’
Lorde
Quote:
“I've glad to join the long list of edgy and avant-garde artists like AlunaGeorge and London Grammar who Disclosure have worked with over the years."
She went on to thank the sponsors of the BRITs: “I’d like to thank Oil Of Olay, Anton LaVey’s Church Of Satan, Mmmm Danone and the Chicken Cottage on Surbiton High Street. I’d like to offer special thanks to the PR team from Mastercard for their #PricelessSurprises edict. They're keeping the true spirit of rock & roll alive and maintaining the BRITs as the annual highlight of any true music fan’s calendar

I actually really like the statuette this year as well.
So excited!
Guess I'll wait for the upload on YT for Katy's performance and hopefully her acceptance speech
