Song title: Green Light
Artist: Lorde
Year: 2017
Why I like this song:
I will admit that when Lorde arrived with Royals, I wasn't sure what to make of her. And I certainly didn't think much of the copy-cats she has inspired in her wake. But with this song, I take back every bad thing I may have said of Lorde.
First I love how it shifts gears, going from 'bitching about my ex' to 'I'm going out and having fun'. I love the energy. I love the debt to nineties house/dance music. And you can't refuse that refrain:
"I waited for it! The green light! I want it!"
And honestly? I can't think of anything that can make one charge out of their seat and run out of the house. In which case, this song must be doing something right.
And hey, when everyone sounds like you, you may as well doing something different.
