She had big hair; I had big hair. She wore black lipstick; I once wore black lipstick. You create these parallels and think, ‘Well, that could have been me.’ But it couldn’t have because we’re completely different people.”Charli has clarified the pair remain good friends, with Lorde even praising her recent album ‘Brat‘ saying: “The only album I’ve ever presaved is out today.

Charli just cooked this one different. So much grit, grace & skin in the game.”“I speak for all of us when I say it’s an honour to be moved, changed and gagged by her work.
