During her first two nights at Radio City Music Hall (New York) in support of her Solar Power tour, Lorde performed a cover version of Rosalía’s ‘Hentai.’
In a recent email to her fans, the New Zealand singer (born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor) praised Motomami, saying: “I’ve listened to the Rosalía album every day since it came out, fuck, it’s so good, I gagged when I heard that interpolation of ‘Archangel,’ ‘Hentai’ is genius, ‘Sakura’… projects like this remind me why I live for pop music — at its best, there’s nothing better.”
During her last tour, in support of her sophomore LP release Melodrama, Lorde performed a series of hometown covers, including renditions of Drake’s “Shot for Me” (in Toronto) and Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” (in Chicago.) But, for Solar Power, most of her shows have solely featured cuts from her own discography.
Rosalía will also take the stage at Radio City Music Hall for two nights when her own newly announced tour launches in September.
