Lorde has generated quite a buzz for herself in 2013. The 16-year old singer released her debut EP The Love Club in March, which contained her hit single ‘Royals’. Her new project, fittingly titled Pure Heroine, is now set to release on September 30th.

Lorde becomes the first lead solo female to crown Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Songs chart in more than 17 years. The New Zealand singer/songwriter, is the first lead solo female to rule the ranking since Tracy Bonham in 1996 (months before Lorde was born).
