Lorde dropped by KCRW’s basement studios in 2013 and we met - at the time - a shy 16-year-old hiding behind a gorgeous crown of tresses. The singer responsible for the mega-hit "Royals" was already a fully-formed vocalist and songwriter. This is an enchanting session and included the radio premiere of "Ribs," which would later be part of her full-length album. - Ariana Morgenstern
