Charli XCX praises Lorde: 'She's highly intelligent and a female who's killing it'

'Boom Clap' rising star Charli XCX has revealed her admiration for 17-year-old songstress Lorde and admitted that people are quick to doubt the authenticity of her talent because she is so young. 

During a new interview with Complex magazine, the beauty explained that people assume she doesn't write her own material because she's just a teenager, and thinks Lorde needs to be given more credit as a songwriter and artist:

"There's always a catch. Like: 'Does she really do that? I heard her mom wrote that song.' I read that about Lorde. I'm like: 'As if!' Just because she's young and successful, why is someone trying to take that away from her? It's because she's highly intelligent and a female who's killing it. She's doing something different, and people are afraid of that."

"Just 'cause we all have vaginas doesn't mean that we all play against each other. We're all doing our own thing."
