Dream pop

Lorde is a Dream pop act. Their sound grew out of Broken Social Scene, Oklou, SZA, Disclosure and Tracy Bonham. Those roots explain a lot about how Lorde arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Charli XCX, Haim, Rosalía, Marina and Gracie Abrams, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Khalid, Tessa Violet, Erin LeCount, Tracy Bonham and Mallrat, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 97 connections around Lorde, reaching back through Broken Social Scene and forward to Khalid.
