We usually don't cover Top 40 on the Music Club, but this one I like. Sixteen-year-old New Zealand sensation Lorde has the deep soulful chords of a young Amy Winehouse, and her hit single "Royals" takes an ironic turn by comparing most other pop music with the lives of the lower-class teens who listen to it. It's worth a listen with the lyrics on the screen.

What are you listening to this evening?
