Audio has surfaced of Lorde covering Kings of Leon's 'Use Somebody' aged 12, listen below.
The latest piece of material to surface from Ella Yelich-O’Connor's formative years, the clip sees the teenage prodigy take the track into new, folky territories, playing off the lyrical intensity of the original and adding a subdued edge, her vocals a stark change up from the Lorde we know today.
The footage was reportedly recorded at a local radio station in New Zealand where a 12 year old Lorde was doing a session, it is currently unsure as to whether more songs were recorded at the time.

Fastforwarding back to today, Lorde has recently curated the soundtrack for the forthcoming Hunger Games film, featuring new material from Yelich O'Connor herself as well as the likes of CHVRCHES, Charli XCX and Bat For Lashes.
