Penning a number one single while still in your teens is enough to showcase anyone’s songwriting credentials, now it looks like New Zealand pop sensation Lorde wants to pursue ghost-writing tracks for other famous pop acts.
“I haven’t written for other artists yet but I definitely want to,” the singer recently told Clash. “Rihanna would be fun to write for because she’s done everything.”
Another popstar a little more close to home that Lorde said she’d like to work with is Ellie Goulding.
You can read the full interview in the latest issue of Clash magazine.
