Lorde has continued to share her love for other musicians, covering two Kanye West songs in Chicago and praising Melbourne singer-songwriter Laura Jean on Twitter.
Busting out covers of Kanye tracks ‘Love Lockdown’ (a capella) and ‘Runaway’ (mixed with her song ‘Liability’) on Tuesday night, Lorde was well-received by Kanye’s hometown crowd.
“Thanks Chicago! It must be nice to come from the same place as Kanye West,” she told the audience.
Here’s some crowd-shot footage of her Kanye covers:

Continuing the love fest this morning, Lorde shared her support for Melbourne muso Laura Jean, tweeting praise for the song ‘Touchstone’, from the singer-songwriter’s upcoming album Devotion, due out in June.
“Super into this Laura Jean song ‘Touchstone’ atm which is maybe the sharpest communication of the spooky, all-consuming nature of feminine love i’ve ever seen,” Lorde tweeted.

I call u my touchstone, honey / i’m careful not to touch u all the time / Try to leave u alone / Sometimes i fantasise about u while ur lying next to me in my bed / I’m thinking about all the things we could be doing / Instead
