Love Club, the official debut EP from precocious New Zealand-based singer/songwriter Ella Yelich O'Connor, who operates under the moniker
Lorde, arrives on the heels of her infectious debut single "Royals," which became a viral sensation in 2012, receiving over half-a-million hits on YouTube. The EP, which includes her signature hit, finds the Kiwi chanteuse offering up five evocative, electro-pop meditations on life, love, and the eternal joys and pains of youth, providing a sultry, sinewy soundtrack to summer that will likely draw comparisons to artists like
Sky Ferreira,
Florence + the Machine,
Lana Del Ray, and
Grimes. [
