Lorde heavily inspired by Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' in the studio

'Glory and Gore' songstress Lorde has revealed that there's one song constantly inspiring her while she's in the recording studio working on new material for her second album. 

The hitmaker posted an update on Tumblr and explained to her followers that Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' has been incredibly influential to her so far and she can't stop listening to it:

"[T]his song, to me, is perfect. It's happy and sad, fiery and independent but vulnerable and small, joyous even when a heart is breaking. Every line is perfect, how that second verse ('stilettos and broken bottles / I'm spinning around in circles') stumbles perfectly into that bridge ('the lights go on, the music dies / …i just came to say goodbye'), and final chorus. It's just perfect."

"We put it on right there in the studio, and I was up out of my seat dancing with my eyes screwed shut, and my hands up around my ears, and we looked into each other's eyes and sang the words, and I could feel something hot and teary in the back of my throat just from FEELING so much at once. I think it was then when I realised I'm going to be in love with music for the rest of my life."
