Signed to a
major label at an early age, she was groomed in the darkness of studios,
the label knowing the potential they had in their singer/songwriter.
She wrote on her own, then she was paired with a sympathetic
producer/songwriter, live performances taking a back seat to
woodshedding. If this story in the early years of the 2010s brings to
mind Lana Del Rey, it's no coincidence that it also applies to New
Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde, whose 2013 debut, Pure Heroine,
contains all of the stylized goth foreboding of LDR's Born to Die and
almost none of the louche, languid glamour. This is not a small thing.
Lana Del Rey is a self-created starlet willing herself into stardom but
Lorde fancies herself a poet, churning away at the darker recesses of
her soul.
Some of this
may be due to age. Lorde, as any pre-release review or portrait
helpfully illustrated, was only 16 when she wrote and recorded Pure
Heroine with producer Joel Little, and an adolescent aggrievance and
angst certainly underpin the songs here. Lorde favors a tragic
romanticism, an all-or-nothing melodrama that Little accentuates with
his alternately moody and insistent productions. Where Lana Del Rey
favors a studiously detached irony, Lorde pours it all out which, in
itself, may be an act: her bedsit poetry is superficially more authentic
but the music is certainly more pop, both in its construction -- there
are big hooks in the choruses and verses -- and in the production, which
accentuates a sad shimmer where everything is beautiful and broken.
There is a topical appeal here, particularly because Lorde and Little do
spend so much time on the surface, turning it into something seductive,
but it is no more real than the studied detachment of Lana Del Rey, who
Lorde so strongly (and intentionally) resembles. Born to Die is meant
to be appreciated as slippery, elusive pop; Pure Heroine seems to hint
at the truth...but the truth is, Lorde is a pop invention as much as LDR
and is not nearly as honest about her intentions. |
