Lorde kicked off her Melodrama World Tour last week (in support of her ‘Melodrama‘ album, obviously) in Manchester. In amongst the artpop bangers, the generation swelling classics and a whole lot of dancing was a really-quite-brilliant cover of Phil Collins‘ ‘In The Air Tonight‘.
And she’s played it every night since. And for Radio One in the live lounge. And it’s fine. It’s undeniably a classic even if it does sorta make us want some Dairy Milk.
However, things changed when she played Paris, swapping out Philly C for our very own The 1975. Yup, Lorde has covered The 1975‘s ‘Somebody Else‘ and you can watch the proof below.
The cover comes hours after Matty tweeted his Lorde-approval.

We’re not ones to put ideas in heads but we’re pretty much 100% sure that a collaboration should be in the works, because how good would that be?
