Lorde Releases "Team" Music Video

posted in: By Genres • Music News • Pop

In case you’ve been living under a rock, 17-year-old New Zealand native Lorde has been on a non-stop takeover since her debut “Royals” dropped this past March. Although the song has held its own in the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks, it’s her latest release, “Team,” that’s currently making the rounds. Taking place in a dark, gritty world which holds Lorde as the queen of a teenager-ridden society, Lorde says about the video:

“This video was borne from a dream I had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was queen. I dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. And of this world, I dreamt about tests that didn’t need to be passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger.”
