Lorde VS. M.I.A. - Royal Planes

It makes perfect sense mashing Lorde and M.I.A. like this! Both have a status of being outsiders but at the same time being highly successful and marketable. The former's debut single Royals is currently at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the latter is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated 4th album Matangi. Royals freshness and crisp vocals sounds amazing over M.I.A.'s Paper Planes (which heavily samples The Clash and Wreckx-n-Effect) bangin' cash machines and guns and the attitudes blend seamlessly. Listen below and grab the download while your at it. Enjoy! A different kind of buzz indeed. 

Full Album Stream: Lorde - Pure Heroine

New Zealand's finest Ella Yelich-O'Connor better known as Lorde to us all is having an incredible start to her career to say the least. She's mad hyped and has the skills and talent to back it the hell up! Considering she's only 16 and is having her infectious Royals currently at #3 in the US after hitting #1 in her home country, the stratosphere seems like the next stop. Her debut album Pure Heroine is out the 30th but already you can stream it in full below. We love the chilled minimalistic production and Lorde's distinctive voice leaving you no choice but to listen to her. Truly hypnotizing. Tennis Court could be the best album opener evah with the super slick attitude and beats to match, not to mention the sick lyrics playing like a badass high school movie. Buzzcut Season soars and is easily one of the best songs of the year. A lot to take in so press play gently and enjoy!
