One of the most iconic moments of Kanye West exercising his musical influence was when artists such as Lorde covered his classics.

As Kanye West Teases New Music, There Was Once a Time When Lorde Covered a Ye Classic

Hip-hop entered its 50th year and so did many of the legends long associated
with it. Among the frontrunners, Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] is bound to be one for his
undeniable grip and influence over the genre. Often finding himself in the midst
of his many stirred-up controversies, there is no denying that the rapper has
inspired a generation of musicians. Many notable talents have mentioned him as
their inspiration. Among the many, one is Lorde, the New Zealander sensation who
once mentioned the ‘Donda’ singer as her “idol”.

As West warms up his fanbase by previewing his music on random occasions, fans
have dug up a time when Lorde covered a Ye classic.


THAT TIME WHEN LORDE SANG HER RENDITION OF A KANYE WEST SONG

Lorde, the electro-pop and dream-pop singer who shot to fame with her single,
‘Royals’, had once stated that she was influenced by Kanye West. The youngest
Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy winner also has on many occasions sung covers
of Ye classics. Among them, a standout performance was her covering the rapper’s
‘Love Lockdown’. Taking to the stage at the Allstate Arena in Chicago on March
27, 2018, the singer sang her rendition of West’s song from his 2008 album ‘808s
& Heartbreak’.

The cover was meant as a way of her paying homage to the rapper and his hometown
of Chicago. As she sang to loud cheers and hoots, the song echoed and once again
brought to the fore West’s influence over the music industry. Furthermore, this
was not the first time that Lorde had covered West. At her previous concerts,
she had also sung acappella and fully tuned versions of Ye’s ‘Hold My Liquor’
and ‘Runaway’.

Fans of West have taken to such throwbacks and recalls as they attune to
trending news in anticipation of West dropping his music anytime soon.


THE NEXT YE ALBUM AFTER DONDA MAY RELEASE ANYTIME NOW

After a long gap of months, fans’ ears finally felt heaven when they were
subject to new Kanye West music. The rapper unexpectedly dropped off some new
verses
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-kanye-west-and-bianca-censori-were-in-attendance-at-the-london-fashion-show-where-rapper-previewed-new-music/],
likely from his upcoming album, as a preview at Mowalola’s fashion week in
London. A few days prior, Ye had taken the courtesy of playing a tease of what
was to come at a Steve Lacy concert. These recent inklings point to an imminent
drop by West.

All of these recent news and drops are coming on the back of West shifting bases
within the European Union. Amidst an Italian uproar over their amorous display
of love in public, the couple moved to Berlin. Soon after, they were at the
London fashion event, following which the last seen of West was in Madrid. While
there is still no official confirmation of the next album, it probably is
imminent.
