New music
Disclosure feat Lorde - Magnets
The prominent refrain
in Lorde's vocal on "Magnets," her collaboration
with Disclosure from their freshly-released Caracal, is
"Let's embrace the point of no return." In the context of the song,
it carries a sense of risk and reckless abandon, maybe even romance, but it
takes on a whole new meaning in the video for the single.
“She was involved with
every aspect of the song as opposed to just doing the lyrics and melodies and
then leaving the rest to us,” Guy told SPIN magazine,
and it really comes as no surprise – Lorde has already developed quite the
reputation for her intricate musicality and passion for songwriting.
“Magnets” is a bona fide pop banger, complimented by a superb
chorus, shuffling, tribal-tinged production and sweeping synths.
The storyline follows
Lorde's summer affair with a chiseled Hollywood type, from its beginning in
fixed poolside gazes to a couple of rough-and-tumble make-out sessions to a
fatal end in a chlorine-fueled fire.
Following the lyrics, it
seems like she's rather have the relationship end on a more definitive note
than have it fizzle out with summer's end, even if that means tying him up,
torturing him, drowning him in a pool and then setting the pool on fire.
