I got absolutely lost in Lorde’s music this weekend, thanks to David’s strong recommendations. Tracked down this interview:

So tell me, you go by Lorde. How did that come about?

I just made it up really. I really like the way it looks, the way it sounds. I like the way it’s kind of feminine, but it’s a Lord—it’s a male position of power you know? The e softens it too, it’s a combination of things. I mean, I like to read a lot. I’m really into how words look and sound, so that was important to me.

Can’t wait to hear more from Ella. Extraordinary.
