Lorde Covered Frank Ocean’s ‘Lost’ And It’s Wonderful, Of Course
Lorde's reign as the Cover Queen continues.
If you’ve been following Lorde’s Melodrama tour over the last year, you would have noticed she’s been pulling out a lot of cover songs — one for basically every show, in fact.
The New Zealand singer has tried her hand at songs like Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Run Away With Me’, Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m On Fire’, Phil Collins’ ‘In The Air Tonight’, as well as a devastating version of ‘Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole‘ (performed in the pouring rain, no less).
In recent months she’s also taken on tracks by St. Vincent (‘New York’), Kanye West (‘Love Lockdown’), and Drake (‘Shot For Me’). She even dropped in a version of the Hunters & Collectors classic ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’ at her Sydney Opera House show in November last year.
She’s now added yet another notch to her belt: Frank Ocean’s 2012 hit ‘Lost’. She cracked out the cover during her headlining performance at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound Festival over the weekend, stripping it down to an eerie, guitar-driven dirge.
It’s not the first time she’s remade one of Ocean’s tracks either: earlier this year she performed his 2016 song ‘Solo’ at a show in Milwaukee.
Watch her version of ‘Lost’ below. Place your bets on what she’s cover next — our money’s on ‘Man’s Not Hot’.
