The 18-year-old singer, Lorde is teasing fans with details of her highly-anticipated second record – following on from 2013’s Pure Heroine, by explaining she took some time off from making music but is now hard at work on her next collection.
Writing on her Tumblr blog, she said: ‘I took a few months off at the beginning of this year, which was so great – i did a bunch of swimming and driving around and being salty – and now i’m just getting into making the next body of work, which is very exciting and scary but SO VALIDATING.’
The ‘Royals’ singer went on to say she has been inspired by Swedish pop star Robyn while making the record, as she believes her track ‘Dancing On My Own’ would be the one song she would choose to ‘send into space, to live on forever’.
Adding further details about the record, Lorde, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O’Connor, said she feels much ‘calmer’ in the studio this time around, and is in no rush to finish the LP.
She wrote: ‘i feel much calmer, more comfortable in my love of doing this, and its apparent love of me, this time around. so there’s that. Know that i’m taking my time to make the new stuff as good as i can. know that music is still making my heart skip every day.’
