Jason Flom's Lorde

FLOM BUOYANT: The response to Jason Flom discovery Lorde (Lava/Republic) has been through the roof—programmers tell us early reaction to the kiwi teen singer-songwriter's "Royals" is unlike anything since Gotye. With a stellar setup by Monte Lipman, Charlie Walk and Dennis Blair that began early this year, the track has all the earmarks of a smash. Remember when we told you about it in April? Well, we told you so. (6/14p)
