Tennis Court EP by Lorde

Lorde's Tennis Court EP landed across Europe on 7 June 2013, the same day Universal sent the title track out as a single in Australia and New Zealand, with three extra songs riding along behind it. "Tennis Court" also belongs to Pure Heroine, the New Zealand teenager's debut album.
Joel Little co-wrote the song with her and produced it, and the trick is all negative space: a hip-hop beat, sparse synths and an electronic pulse, nothing wasted, and Lorde's cool, deadpan delivery right up front. The words take stock of the fame and the music business she was only just getting to know, and of how much she missed Auckland. It went to number one in New Zealand, and Joel Kefali's video, a single unbroken shot of Lorde staring down the camera, is as stark as the track. A Flume remix of the song made the countdowns too.
