"GREEN LIGHT" AND RED FLAGS

Lava/Republic artist and SONGS writer Lorde hosts a listening party for new single "Green Light," where she and pubco prexy Ron Perry (who A&R'd her album and single) found themselves obliged to smile through a tedious photo op with our own Simon Glickman and Samantha Hissong. The two trade-rag editors, having consumed all the remaining Gewürztraminer, asked the singer/songwriter how her homeland compared to “Old Zealand.” Thinking quickly, she informed them that their Uber had arrived.
