This is high praise.
Lorde, the prodigious 19-year-old singer-songwriter from New Zealand responsible for the hit song Royals, has reached out to Irish electronic musician EDEN by posting a lovely message to his Facebook wall.
The public post reads:
“hi you – i love ‘sex’ a lot. it does something very simple and intense to my brain – you managed to make it sound just as messy and emotional and twitchy and kind of in love and definitely freaked out as that situation feels.
i wasn’t sure how to contact you, so i went for the old facebook wall lol. but just wanted to say hi and please keep making lovely things – i’ll listen.
ella x”
EDEN, whose real name is Jonathon Ng, will tour Canada and the US later on in the year – so he’ll be pretty happy to have the support of such a well-established artist.
Ng replied in the comment section: “almost didnt come across this – thank you for making me smile today; if you want to hear more things just let me know, hopefully i can return the favour x”
Sounds like the start of a beautiful friendship.
Here’s the message in full:
