Lorde Releases Surprise New Single

It might not be a 14 track visual album, but there's no doubt that a brand new track from kiwi pop princess Lorde is still a pretty exciting surprise. The 17-year-old released a new single called No Better yesterday without any warning and it is available on iTunes now.

The song is not featured on her recently released Pure Heroine LP, meaning the artist is clearly not wasting any time in putting her best foot forward after the enormous success of her worldwide smash hit Royals.

Last week, Lorde was nominated for four Grammy Awards including Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Solo Pop Performance.

She plays the Laneway Festival early next year; all the dates for that are in theGuide below.
