Lorde pays tribute to the legendary singer, songwriter, musician, record producer David Bowie who died on Jan. 10, 2016 due to liver cancer. She addressed him as her ''hero''.
As reported by MTV, Lorde took to facebook to pay tribute to this "Fame" famed musician and actor. "I've never met a hero of mine and liked it. It just sucks, the pressure is too huge, you can't enjoy it. David was different," Lorde wrote. "I'll never forget the caressing of our hands as we spoke, or the light in his eyes. That night something changed in me - I felt a calmness grow, a sureness."
"I think in those brief moments, he heralded me into my next new life, an old rock and roll alien angel in a perfect grey suit. I realized everything I'd ever done, or would do from then on, would be done like maybe he was watching. I realized I was proud of my spiky strangeness because he had been proud of his."
"We can be heroes, just for one day," sang David Bowie on the 1977 pop treasure "Heroes." Will his "Pure Heroine" fan Lorde be able to match up to the success which her ''Hero'' reached up to?
Will Lorde's new album 2016 which is expected to be out sometime in the mid-year contain some tribute to her ''Hero?'' Or will she keep the tempo of the album light after she was caught in a controversy over being the 'other woman' between the couple Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles?
What kind of songs can we expect from this BFF of Taylor Swift in her new album? David Bowie slid in the genres Art rock, glam rock, pop, electronic, and experimental. Lorde manoeuvres between Art pop, dream pop, indie pop, electropop and indietronica. Looking at the similarities in their genres, can we expect to see a shadow of David Bowie's work in Lorde's creations?
