I think this is a very solid debut album for the British band Bastille. This album contains several songs that received a fair amount of on-air radio play, including Pompeii, Bad Blood and Flaws. Any album which contains 3 "hit" songs is worthy of including in your collection. Would like to see them live at a concert in the future.
Of course, everyone knows Lorde due to the hit song "Royals" which received major radio play. However, Lorde is so much more than just "Royals." I luckily listened to the rest of this album live before I purchased the CD - Lorde was on tour and I snagged some super super cheap last minute tickets to her show. The music and lyrics were very intriguing, with several of them becoming an instant "earworm." Lorde certainly has a special vocal ability. Buy this album!!!
