Who knew "Green Light" was so literal?
Unless you're a loyal fan, you might not realise that New Zealand musician and young genius Lorde has synesthesia. But she does. And it informs her songwriting more than you might think.
The 20-year-old Ella Yelich-O'Connor has sound-to-colour synesthesia, otherwise known as chromesthesia. That means for notes and sounds that she hears, corresponding colours appear in front of her eyes. She's spoken about it before, but a new profile in the NY Times last week has shed new light on the condition and how it effects her songwriting.
