After causing waves on the international music scene due to your deeply personal and amazing lyrics, what’s next on an artist’s bucket list? Well for Lorde it’s writing for some other big name artists that she greatly admires. Lorde has had more than her fair share of offers to write music for others ever since she became a big hit with her song, “Royals”.

In a recent interview with Clash magazine, the New Zealander revealed: “I’ve heard from lots of people, almost too many to mention. But Dr Luke was particularly impressive. It’s like, ‘You’re Dr Luke. You’re like Rambo’. He’s pop royalty. I imagine him living in some ice palace with Nordic maidens and wind chimes. He’s cool. I find what he does so fascinating.”

She added that: “I haven’t written for other artists yet but I definitely want to. Obviously lyrics are a huge part of my music, and they’re so personal to me, so… it’ll be such a challenge to step out of my body. I can’t wait. Rihanna would be fun to write for because she’s done EVERYTHING. And I’d love to write for – or with – Ellie Goulding, actually.”

Lorde’s single “Royals”, will debut in the UK on October 20. It has already reached number one on the US Hot 100 earlier this month. If you’re not already addicted to this song, or even if you are and just want to hear it just one more time, check it out below:
