You know you feel it—that mix of envy and amazement when your hear Lorde’s music. The lyrics feel moody, wise and even fanciful at times. The beats are sturdy. And Lorde herself, she’s only 17 years old! What were you doing when you were 17?
Looks like Lorde, in her young years, has discovered ruin porn. It’s sort of the star of her latest music video, “Team,” a song about the imaginary cities that we live in. It’s catchy, like the rest of her jams. And the ruin porn? Well, whether you started drooling over pictures of Detroit back in the 90s or are just discovering Berlin, any ruined urban landscape is still pretty badass.
