Just posting because you told me to. "Royals" is good! I grabbed it from Spinner(?)'s daily download section a couple weeks ago.

I'm so obsessed with "Royals". Reminds me sonically of Kimbra with the lyrics of Lana. "Million Dollar Bill" is also a standout from the EP for me.

New tracks "Tennis Court" and "Swingin' Party", added to Soundcloud yesterday: I don't like "Tennis Court" as much as most of the songs on her EP, but it's not bad. On the other hand I love "Swingin' Party"! I hope it's actually released :) Also, the song "The Love Club" entered at #26 in New Zealand this week and is currently up to #15 on iTunes. I'm not sure if it's actually a new single or getting airplay or anything like that. I added a chart runs section to the OP. EDIT: Oh, I checked her Twitter and "Tennis Court" is her new single, with "Swingin' Party" being the b-side. Shame they're not the other way around. I haven't found a release date for that, but I did find that she likes "Come & Get It", josh ;)

Purchased! I'm so glad she didn't take ages to release them. And "Tennis Court" is already all the way in at #12 on NZ iTunes, while "Royals" and "The Love Club" are #13 and #15 respectively. :O I'm hoping the hype will secure it a week in the top 5! EDIT: "Tennis Court" is on iTunes Australia's "New Singles To Watch" and "What's Hot" lists, in first place on both (well second on the former but the free song of the week is always first, so basically Lorde is first). With that much exposure it should manage to chart in Australia!

"Tennis Court" is up to #3 on NZ iTunes. And "Swingin' Party" is #46. :o "Tennis Court" is #130 on AU iTunes too. EDIT: Now #2 on NZ iTunes and with a 96% pop bar; it's almost there!!

Her second NZ iTunes #1 in just ~3 months. I really can't believe it. :'( EDIT: oh and I just saw that the new NZ chart is up (seriously I have no clue when these things are supposed to update), and "The Love Club" is up to a new peak of #17! I wonder how long it will manage to spend in the chart with "Tennis Court" now out.

Her voice reminds me of Sky Ferreira's so much (which isn't a bad thing), but I'm digging the EP. "Biting Down" is so good and as a whole the EP is very solid.

New NZ charts. SINGLES#1. "Tennis Court" ( debut) Her second #1. And second #1 debut. Consecutively. :'( #10. "Swingin' Party" ( debut) New entry. I have no idea how it's so high as their charts are sales-only and it didn't go higher than #36-ish on iTunes. Apparently it could have sold well elsewhere, but I'm still VERY shocked. Or maybe people who bought the two songs together had their sales combined into the two songs separately? In any case, it's her third top 10 hit!! #11. "Royals" (down 2) Down to #11 after 13 weeks in the top 10. #18. "The Love Club" (down 1) No new peak unfortunately, but a second week in the top 20! ALBUMS#4. The Love Club EP13th week in the top 10. QUEEN OF NZ. And "Tennis Court" is still #1 on iTunes NZ with a 26% lead, while it's currently #34 in Australia and looking at a possible top 50 entry this week. And "Royals" also cracked the iTunes US top 200; it's currently #175.

This girl is pretty good but I feel she still has work to do. I agree that she can't sustain this "hipster" image for long but she's only 16 or 17, so she has a lot of time to grow into a true artist. I definitely think that she'll be around for a few years at least. You can't take away her talent, she just needs an image change soon.

Agreed (and she's still 16 ), except I don't really think she needs an image change soon, as in within the next couple of years. I think for now and another few years her image is great as is :)

I am curious to see what kind of artist she ultimately winds up becoming. There is a glut of this kind of female artist right now and it's cool but I'm looking for someone to REALLY set herself apart from the others.

NZ charts: "Tennis Court" #2, down 1, after 1 week at #1 "Royals" #13, down 2 "The Love Club" #19, down 1 The Love Club EP #4, non-mover "Swingin' Party" fell off the top 40 singles chart. I'm guessing it just missed out by a few spots, as it fell to #11 (from #4) on the NZ-artists-only singles chart, and #10 on there is #40 on the all-inclusive singles chart. I'm still not sure how it charted so well last week.
Also, just to update it here, "Royals" is still slaying Alternative, currently #26 with the 4th largest bullet, and it's #20 on AAA with the 2nd largest bullet there too. (Currents only in both cases). I hope it keeps going

"Tennis Court" falls two spots to #49 in Australia. The Love Club/"Royals" fell out of the top 50 from #48; we'll find out where it fell to tomorrow. Edit: #52!

Thanks for posting juanito :) Sadly my internet is living up to the F it scored on the speedtest I took earlier and I can't even watch it properly in 144p. ;_; From what I could load it looks cool though!! I like that she decided to feature majorly this time, compared to for like 5 seconds in the "Royals" video. Edit: I opened her VEVO channel since I didn't know she had one, and there's a "US version" of the "Royals" video, and from what I could load, it seems to be featuring a lot more of Lorde than the original video did. :o It feels a bit weird since I'm more used to the original one, but more Lorde = good! I'll add the links to the OP in a moment!

Thanks for posting juanito :) You're welcome. I was looking to listen to her The Love Club - EP and I found it on her VEVO channel. I opened her VEVO channel since I didn't know she had one, and there's a "US version" of the "Royals" video, and from what I could load, it seems to be featuring a lot more of Lorde than the original video did. :o It feels a bit weird since I'm more used to the original one, but more Lorde = good! Yes! I also didn't know she had one. In the US version, Lorde appears more as you said and it's shortened (some part of the intro, as well as the outro/last part, is omitted).

I managed to get the video to load! I honestly love it. Even though it's basically her making faces in front of a blank screen for the entire song length, it just works so perfectly imo. <3 Juan Carlos I hope you like/liked the EP!
