Lorde calls herself underdog in music industry

Los Angeles June 19 (IANS) Singer Lorde believes she is an underdog in the music industry and will stay that way until she releases five amazing records.

The Green Light hitmaker whose real name is Ella Yelich-O Connor tasted stardom at the age of 16 when her single Royals became a hit in 2013. She has made a name for herself in four years but she believes she has a long way to go reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Speaking on Australia s 60 Minutes on Sunday Lorde said: I m just the underdog again. I always think like making an album I m just that kid to and from work sitting on the train.

I totally feel like an underdog. But I think one record is cool one record you know? I think everyone can make five amazing records if you can then it gets interesting. That s when it starts. So I think until then (I consider) myself as an underdog.

During the interview the 20-year-old singer also spoke on her breakup from photographer James Lowe whom she split with last year.

It s pretty gnarly I think it s pretty hard across the board. I think it s definitely for a long time that I m going to remember it s been really formative for me.
