Lorde unveils her new song – a look at five important music videos of her career

The young New Zealand singer debuted her latest song “Green Light” on Thursday (Friday in New Zealand), announcing on Twitter that it is the first single from her second album “Melodrama,” which will follow her 2013 debut “Pure Heroine,” although no release date has been announced. Here’s a look at some of the most standout songs and videos from Lorde’s career so far.

“Royal”

“Royals” is undoubtedly the singer’s best known song. Born in New Zealand in 1996, Lorde showed the world that it was possible to combine cutting-edge pop music with chart success. In 2013, Billboard reported that she was the first female solo artist in more than 17 years to top Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Songs chart.

“Tennis Court”

Those who weren’t impressed by Lorde’s “Royals” got a second chance to be wowed with “Tennis Court,” a hit single that sealed the New Zealand artist’s popularity. The aesthetic and style of Lorde’s video were miles away from her peers like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

“Magnets”

The young artist bridges the gap between pop music and electronic music and has collaborated with specialists in the genre. For example, he was a guest artist on the track “Magnets” for the British duo Disclosure.
