Lorde's album "Melodrama" was primarily inspired by her experiences navigating young adulthood, relationships, and nightlife, capturing a mix of emotions and storytelling.
Lorde began her singing career in 2009, when she signed with Universal Music Group (UMG). The following year, she, along with her musician friend Louis McDonald, gave live performances at multiple venues. In 2011, UMG hired Frances Dickinson to give her singing lessons. During this time, Lorde began writing songs as well. At the end of 2011, she collaborated with Joel Little for an EP. Soon after this, she self-released her debut EP titled ‘The Love Club EP’. The single "Royals" from this EP went on to become one of her biggest hits.
In November 2013, the New Zealander signed a deal with Songs Music Publishing. She spent the next few months touring all over the world and performing at different venues. In September 2014, she released the track "Yellow Flicker Beat" for the soundtrack album of the flick ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1.’ Then on March 2, 2017, Lorde disclosed that the title of her second debut album would be ‘Melodrama’. On March 9, she released the album’s single "Liability". The album went on to release on June 16, 2017.
In December 2017, Lorde cancelled her concert in Israel following a campaign by Palestinian activists supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. This online campaign incorporated an open letter by both the Palestinian New Zealander activist Nadia Abu-Shanab and the Jewish New Zealander activist Justine Sachs urging Lorde to cancel her tour citing the Israeli government’s oppressive policies. After cancelling her tour, Lorde also issued a statement on her Twitter account thanking fans and followers for educating her about Israel-Palestine.
Lorde is a talented artist beyond music. She has also showcased her skills in drawing and painting, often sharing her artwork with fans on social media.
