Broods: We're Not The Next Lorde

New Zealand outfit Broods have admitted they don't forsee a Lorde-like rise to the top happening to them despite the constant comparisons they've received to the young singer.

Speaking to The Music recently, one half of the Kiwi duo Georgia Nott said she was flattered by the comparisons but sharing a homeland and a producer (Joel Little) was as far as the connection went.

“There were people telling us we’d be the next Lorde, and we thought it was really cool because, like, it’d be awesome, but I really don’t think that’s gonna happen to us,” confessed Nott.

Nott said if anything the comparisons forced the duo, who are siblings, to start working a lot harder, as opposed to focusing on emulating someone else's success.

“It really worked in our favour in the way that it grabbed people’s attention – they hear about Lorde and hear about Broods and then they look through our music and they make a decision on it …" she admitted.

"Then all of a sudden things started happening, and it was like, ‘Holy shit, we’re actually going to have to think about what we’re doing!’ I think it was a bit of a kick up the arse to make us work a bit harder when we realised that there was actually people out there who cared. Sometimes that’s what you need to get yourself into the right space, to reach your potential."
