New Zealand's pop princess Lorde stopped by Triple J's Like a Version segment to perform a cover of 2013 favorite "Retrograde" by James Blake. Lorde first took on the cover last week, debuting it during a show in New Zealand following her Grammy wins.

The version received mixed reactions online. Some criticized it her for not putting enough of her own spin on the track and others praised her haunting rendition.

Triple J's Like a Version host, Alex Dyson, asked the young Kiwi if she will be writing new songs about how her life has changed in the past year.

"Totally, what I'm going through is so abnormal and I feel like a lot of people at my level don't really write about it because a lot of what we do is boring," Lorde told him. "So it's interesting to write about the weird little details of what I do."
