Lorde confesses to disliking one of the songs on Pure Heroine
'Royals' singer also talks Miley Cyrus and her success
- Verdict:
Though she still has a bit of growing to do in regards to becoming a woman, it's fair to say that Lorde has fully established herself as an exciting young artist.
Pure Heroine only provides further evidence as to why there has been so much hype around her. For someone of her age, her writing capabilities are outstanding and the fuse of electronic beats and soulful vocals make for an absolute triumph of a debut.

Rising star Lorde has admitted that she doesn't like one of the songs on her debut album Pure Heroine, though she won't say which one.
Refusing to own up as to which song she wasn't so fond of in a recent interview with AMP radio, the New Zealand singer did mention that the she's loving the track 'Ribs', which features on the album.
"It's cool because at the time I was quite stressed about this thing," she said. "And so I combated it by making this song super warm soundng and comforting sonically, which is nice. I like it."
During the interview Lorde also spoke about her hit single 'Royals' and claims she wrote it in under an hour one afternoon. She added: "It didn't even end up getting rearranged that much. The bridge was the only part I wrote afterward, and then it took us kind of a few days in the studio figuring it out. Yeah it was swift, I guess."
