Lorde covers Rosalía track 'Hentai' at sold out New York performance
Currently on the US leg of her Solar Power tour, Lorde will be in Dublin for Forbidden Fruit on June 5th.
On Monday night, Lorde sang a surprise cover of 'Hentai' by Spanish pop sensation Rosalía at her Radio City Music Hall gig in New York.
The song appears on Rosalía’s third studio album Motamami. The Kiwi musician wore a bright yellow dress and sang perched atop a tall staircase.
Since its release last month, Motamami has peaked at No.33 on the Billboard 200 and opened at No.1 on the Billboard Top Latin Pop Albums. Rosalía is set to embark on the Motamami world tour in June that will take her through fifteen countries starting in her native Spain.
After releasing her long awaited third album Solar Power last summer, Lorde is currently on the US leg of her world tour and will begin her European dates in Leeds on May 25th. Lorde will also be playing at Forbidden Fruit on June 5th and the Glastonbury Festival on June 24th.
Meanwhile, a series of videos of Lorde shushing crowds at her shows have recently been circulating online. Most of these moments occur during her renditions of ‘Writer in the Dark’, a stripped down and poignant song about the struggle to move on from an ex-lover. The singer appears to be trying to quiet the singing crowd so they can experience the song with its original solemnity.
