"He thought of all the sounds we chose as my voices - these machines are singing and crying and talking or laughing in the same way that we do”: Lorde on the Frank Ocean collaborator who helped to humanise the synth sounds on her new album, Virgin

Lorde.

Lorde is having quite the day. After releasing Virgin, her new album, in the early hours, she headed to Worthy Farm for the Glastonbury Festival, delivering a not-so-secret set to a packed crowd on the Woodsies Stage.

Prior to all of that, though, she sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe to discuss the making of Virgin and some of the sounds that were used to create it.
