Lorde has signed with publicity firm PMK*BNC's music department. Earlier this month the Grammy winner released "Green Light," the lead single for her much-anticipated sophomore album, which is due this summer. Lorde's seven-times platinum 2013 debut single "Royals" made her, at 16, the youngest solo artist (and only New Zealander) since 1987 to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This summer she will perform at major festivals including Coachella, Governors Ball and Bonnaroo. Oscar-winning Twenty Feet from Stardom documentarian Morgan Neville has signed with RadicalMedia for commercial representation. His recent work for the production studio includes an Audible campaign that aired during last month's Academy Awards, as well as Netflix's Abstract: The Art of Design and Keith Richards: Under the Influence. Neville has shot ads for Google, Microsoft, Bose.

Lorde premiered a pair of new Melodrama tracks during her Coachella gig Sunday night, titled "Homemade Dynamite" and the LP's title track. Melodrama will be released June 16th. "This next song that I'm about to play you is brand new. Nobody has heard it," Lorde told the crowd before "Homemade Dynamite." "I want you to do me a favor, Coachella: I want you to give this birthday the biggest fucking birthday of all-time. Let's bring it into the world in the best way." "I thought about all the ups and downs of being a twentysomething, specifically all the ups and downs of an evening. So I spent a lot of time going out, as you do, and I was struck by all of the facets of an evening," Lorde said of Melodrama, explaining that each night has good and bad moments that scale the emotional spectrum. "It was the dichotomy of those two things that I'm very interested in."

Apparently there’s no bad blood between Lorde and Taylor Swift’s squad after all. The singer took to Twitter to address her comments in a lengthy note in which she referred to Swift as a “dear friend” and expressed her frustration about the “squad” mentality. “Wow — something of a frustrating thing to have to address online, but here we go,” she wrote. “Taylor is a dear friend. I love her very much. In the interview in question I had just been talking about Bowie and Patti Smith ― those were the ‘idols’ I was referring to that I was saying I’m not friends with, not Taylor! “I’ve always found people’s perception of this ‘squad’ idea frustrating in the past; it was never some exclusive club or secret society, but a wide circle of people, some of whom I know, and some who I’ve never met, like most wide groups of friends. Forgive me for the mild eyeroll I popped when it was brought up as if we’re all blood members of a secret cult,” she continued. “Really shitty to wake up to headlines about whether or not you’ve jumped ship on someone you deeply respect and ride for. I want to say one more time that Taylor has been there for me in all my dark and light moments these past 5 years. All of them. I fucked up an interview question. Now go sip a beverage and head out on a walk.”

The New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde has cancelled a planned concert in Israel following an online campaign by activists opposed to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The announcement of the cancellation of the June concert, barely a week after it was announced, came as the singer cited an “overwhelming number of messages and letters” she had received as having led to her decision. Israel’s culture minister, Miri Regev, called on Lorde to reconsider and she was denounced by pro-Israel supporters on social media. She follows a number of other artists who have cancelled performances in Israel including Elvis Costello, Lauryn Hill and Gorillaz. Radiohead resisted high-profile campaign asking them to cancel a gig in Israel last summer.
