Lorde Dishes On Friendship with Diplo, The Success of 'Pure Heroine' and New Music

2014 has been an amazing year for Lorde so far: she brought home two GRAMMY awards for her debut, Pure Heroine, she played to adoring crowds at Coachella and in plenty of sold out venues the world over, and now she's taken Chicago by storm at Lollapalooza.

She took a break backstage to speak with Fuse's Esteban Serrano about the crazy year she's had since the release of Pure Heroine, and she let it slip that she's got two huge things on her mind as the summer winds down: her sights are set on an intense new live show, and she's been writing new music on the road.

"I definitely need to get into a studio to nut it out, but I have been writing on the road," she reveals. "I'm pretty busy right now with a bunch of stuff, but I'm hoping to put something out sometime in the future."

Lorde's North American fall tour, which will take her from coast to coast September 5-October 12, is the trek she's been waiting for. "Everything else has felt like the warmup for this tour," she says. "It's so special to me, and I've been working so hard on it. It's beautiful. it's really stylized. There are really amazing costume changes. It's cool. I'm so psyched on it ... We're reinventing heaps of the songs for the tour, adding cool little musical parts, doing little snippets of covers and all that sort of stuff."
