i-D Meets: Lorde | i-D

Ahead of the release of her massively discussed second album, i-D took Lorde to the Art Gallery of New South Wales for a brief respite from the media whirlwind surrounding her. In this quiet corner of the city the star reflected on the pressure and process the making of such an anticipated record, her unwavering connection to New Zealand and why no one really knows her at all.

Damn, I just realized that Lorde is actually only 21 years old. She sounds so mature.

aw watching this makes me feel so nostalgic. i remember hearing royals in like 2013 and literally listening to it on repeat the whole day i found it. just absolutely adore her

[@Amakiseul]

Her music strikes a chord in me nothing ever has before. Melodrama is the perfect soundtrack to growing up, being lost, and learning to love yourself.

I got them from Amazon they're very seasonable and very lovely

[@vic7623]

This was my yearly reminder to listen to Lorde.

[@TheMovieMyLife]

Something about Lorde reminds me of Cate Blanchett.

[@geea776]

Her mouth?

[@MichaelRorich]

TheMovieMyLife It's her nose, skin complexion, chin and overall bone structure.

[@marllon9786]

They share the same cognitive functions, but in different order. Cate Blanchett is am INFJ and Lorde is an ISTP. That may be a reason for the similarities, since the external personalities translate similarly.

[@Fate2024]

Marllon why do you think lorde is an istp , is there a reference or something, because i assumr she's an INxx , because of her obvious introversion and the usage of symbolism in her lyrics , well tell me cause I'm obsessed with lorde and the mbti

[@marllon9786]

+F M Hey! Also obsessed here lol (with MBTI, I mean). I know an ISTP in real life. Lorde's quirks, inflection, and smiles are very similar to his (he's my best friend's boyfriend). ISTPs and ISFPs have tertiary Ni, which is the reason for the symbolism. It's very common for ISFPs and ISTPs to have a love for symbolism and esotericism. Carl Jung identified as an ISTP and he was very much into the abstract. B. F. Skinner, arguably the most notable psychologist of the twentieth century, was also ISTP.

[@thesunshineisfake]

Her natural accent is colliding with her new American one and its interesting

[@Starkardur]

American?

[@thesunshineisfake]

Gunnhild Edwards listen to how she says "literally" vs "because" or "life"

[@ivydickson7596]

That's still pure Kiwi accent.

[@CROBlackDEvil]

She looks so classy and is very well spoken, I love it

[@sylviaellis3625]

It’s weird hearing her in with her accent because in her music she sounds so American

[@ivydickson7596]

Thank God for her accent. She's a real Kiwi.

[@Katy38316]

No her music doesn’t sound American to me it sounds more British, Australian, New Zealand kind of music especially her voice….if you compare her voice to Ariana Grande yep it sounds posh

[@ahmadkashfy13]

I just can't wait for Lorde 3 😭😩🥺!

[@lorenzog9045]

Probably a reupload because they used Lorde's music in the original

[@YouDontKnowISH_]

Ah ok. I was gon say, I've seen this a while back.

[@tatiannawasrobbed1614]

yeah there’s a subtitled version of the original on youtube and the music is diff

[@Crystal-os2yo]

She’s definitely right about those Auckland house parties. You’d turn a corner into another street in South Auckland and there’s almost always a scummy party, I love it.

here would be a great idea, twitter users get to it, a Lorde and Sia collaboration album, that'd be epic, the greatest Aussie export from down under with the greatest Kiwi export making an epic album together :)

[@fabboydan]

Seeing her growing from a girl into a young woman is a wonderful thing

[@theDevilsGreed]

They posted this before??????? I pretty sure they did, guess if you need some ideas email me 😉.

[@bumbleveeee]

theDevilsGreed I think its because they had copyright issues last time since they used Lorde's songs
