We already know that Lorde is not a traditional pop star. Her music has more of an edge than much mainstream pop, and in interviews she’s not afraid to speak her mind (to be fair, David Guetta is pretty “gross”), so we probably shouldn’t be too surprised that her “favorite artists” include some interesting selections. MTV asked Lorde to name some of her favorite artists, and alongside classic artists like Fleetwood Mac and Prince, the young singer shouted out Grimes, Four Tet, James Blake, Sleigh Bells, and Drake.
