Lorde "Tennis Court"

A name you should watch out for in the coming months. Sixteen-year-old New Zealander Ella Yelich-O'Connor, also known as Lorde has been making a splash on the indie music scene with her "Love Club" EP. She topped her countries official chart with her song "Royals" with no major label backing and continues to make headway with her critical yet reflective lyrical content and Lana Del Rey-esque delivery. She has released her first official single "Tennis Court" along with a cover of The Replacements' "Swingin' Party." As much as I love her EP (check "Bravado" I beg of you), I hope that she plans on releasing a full-length soon (and sign to distribute internationally). We definitely need an anti-Taylor Swift in pop right now and Lorde seems like she would fit the part.
