Watch: Lorde Unveils New ‘Team’ Video

Apparently Lorde’s video broke the internet last night. Airing out ‘Team’ - a take from her ‘Pure Heroine’ debut - the 17 year old barely appears in this clip, but the New Zealander puts together a neat narrative about a kid being tormented by bike gangs and boys on dockyards.

The video has a pretty clear concept, according the the songwriter: ‘this video was borne from a dream i had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was queen’

‘i dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. and of this world, i dreamt about tests that didn’t need to be passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger. enjoy’
