The buzz that Lorde has built herself over the past few months has been nothing short of remarkable. Her debut EP, The Love Club, has sent a shockwave through the internets since its inception. And rightfully so, the EP is unbelievable. If you have been keeping up with Lorde on her social networks, you would have noticed that Lorde has not showed her face yet. This could her playing the mystique card or it's more likely that she doesn't want to be recognized yet — seeing how she is only 16 years old. That brings me to this post — after coming across the album Characters by the New Zealand band And They Were Masked, I was blown away because when I came up to track 6 it hit me like a tonne of bricks. This is LORDE!. After realizing this, it's not that big of a deal because she was simply just a featured vocalist on this track. And according to Lorde, this is her friends band. That's cool. However getting back to not knowing what Lorde looks like...I googled this song title and this video (below) popped up. Prominently featured on the YT video is a picture of.... Lorde? Could this be what she looks like? I am thinking yes. Lorde is only featured on "Piece Of Mind" but if you want to hear more from And They Were Masked, check out the Bandcamp embed. Stream "Piece Of Mind" below.
