To say Lorde made a huge splash with her 2013 debut album Pure Heroine would be an understatement. The unconventional New Zealand pop star ruled the charts with "Royals" and "Team" and sold over 1.5 million copies of her album in the U.S. And soon, the "Yellow Flicker Beat" singer is going to do it all over again. According to her frequent collaborator Joel Little, Lorde will begin the recording process on her new album in March.
In an interview with Richard Kingsmill (via ABC.net.au), Little revealed that he and Lorde will be returning to the recording studio in the next few weeks to work on her official sophomore effort.
"Within the next month or so we'll be in the studio," Little said, before detailing that neither he nor Lorde had any real idea what her next studio effort would shape up to be.
"That's the plan, basically. We're just going to start writing some songs. We haven't got some planned out 'this is what it's going to sound like," he said. "I think we're just going to start writing and when it starts to feel right, we'll know that it's right. It's pretty simple really."
Little, a writer and producer, was a major player on Lorde's Pure Heroine, co-writing nine tracks with Lorde including "Glory and Gore," "White Teeth Teens," "Tennis Court" and "Team."
He also worked on her with tracks from the Lorde curated The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 soundtrack, including "Yellow Flicker Beat" and her cover of Bright Eyes' "The Ladder Song."
