Royals Review


                                        

A song that has been playing on the radio lately and has been very popular is the song Royals by Lorde. I had never heard of Lorde before I heard the song royals. However with not being well known until now, she is very known because of her song royals. Lorde is just Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor, no wonder she uses a stage name she really does need it. Lorde is from New Zealand, and Royals is her first single that has made her famous.  With the record being released on November 22, 2012, it had already hit number one in 2013. Lorde only being sixteen, she is very young to have such a hit song in a different country than her own. I see Lorde having a strong music career in her future.

This song is so popular because it has an unusual beat that a lot of people seem to like. The beat gets stuck in your head and is never forgotten, which is why so many people know and love this song. I also love this song because it had a cool echo part. This is where Lorde sings Royals then echo’s royals in a higher pitch. If there was one part of the song that everybody knows by heart it would be this echoing part. The echoing happens a lot throughout the song, almost like its apart of the chorus.

This song also has a great meaning behind it. The song talks about how you don’t have to have the best things in life to be happy.  The song talks about how they are living in a motel with barley anything, but they can live like royals depending on how they look at life. A lot of people can relate to these ideas and like how she sees’s life that way too. The music video takes place mostly in a motel room, where her and too guys are making the best of their living situation. They make living in the motel enjoyable because of how they look at life. Overall this song gives off a good vibe and a good meaning too it also.
