Lorde Announces Debut Album Release Date
New Zealand artist Lorde announces debut album release date, plus several new tour dates and sells out her first US tour dates.
Shortly after commencing her tour of the United States, the New Zealand-born songstress LORDE has announced her debut album. This announcement has come shortly after the news that she has already sold out her first-ever US shows in New York and Los Angeles which is a pretty hefty achievement considering that the singer is only 16.
Already taking New Zealand by storm off the heels of her debut EP, 'The Love Club', (released via LAVA/Republic Recordings) which amassed just north of 60,000 downloads on soundcloud placing Lorde in the #1 spot on the country's top albums chart, her sound is a combination of bliss minimalistic production intertwining with her sombre yet bouncy and poppy vocal style.
