David Bowie saw Lorde as 'the future of music'

what do we think of this premonition by Bowie? I personally agree.

I really like Lorde, but didn't she end up a one (or maybe two) hit wonder?

David Bowie dated Amanda Lear, so maybe we don't value his taste in 'female' singers so much ?

R1 Not even close. The entirety of Melodrama's excellent.

Whether she's the future or not, I don't know... there's way too much music out there to determine whether or not an individual will be its future, but I can say with certainty that there's no Billie Eilish without Lorde.

@r1 She's only released two albums, and the latest was nominated for AOTY two years ago, so i wouldn't count her out. Plus shes only 22, younger than most pop stars when they first gain notoriety.

No. Great taste? Yes. But he can't predict anything. I know he loved the likes of Madonna (whom he picked to accept his Rock Hall award) and Lorde, both worthy of his legacy but the entire future? No.
