Indy Yelich said she played “support show” to her big sister (Ella Yelich-o'connor), whose Lorde suddenly rushed to global fame as a “royal,” which made her entire family life frustrated in 2013.
“There are major actresses,” Jelich told Billboardbut “supportive behavior is still a big part of the story. All you can really do is be yourself and handle the cards you’re going through.”
However, on Wednesday night (July 30), the Oakland native was the principal lady of Wayland Bar, New York’s East Village, where she played the song from her new EP Fame is the bedroom. This is the first release on Friday (August 1). The space is packed with collages of Yelich's fans and friends who make up the small community she managed to build in the city, 8,000 miles from her home. One of them is a soul coach who met her after she was on the theme “Lorde vs. Odesza.” Many people are on Yelich's favorite kale-infused Margarita, and she insists they absolutely have to try it out when setting it up.
Yelich spent the last few years in New York, initially moving to states at the age of 18 in pursuit of acting, but later turned to music. In 2022, she put down her debut single “Threads”, carving out clips of the space her sister has occupied for years and steadily building her own fan base.
She then strengthened her creativity with subsequent versions, and she is now ready to ignore her insanity – some of which can be attributed to sisters with global pop stars, but most of them are due to inherent chaos in the mid-20s – Fame is the bedroomThis is a fusion of lucid dreams from classic (Fleetwood Mac) and Modern (Holly Humberstone, Mk.Gee).
She told Billboard, Amid the noise of guests, shaking mixed drinks and pouring rain outside, perched on the stool at the end of the bar just minutes before her scene. “With fame, it affects my desire to be understood. It prompted me to want to express my version in music. Without it, I wouldn't be here, but this is the little devil on my shoulder. It's something I never have to want for myself, but I love it in a weird way and I made friends with it.”
core Fame is the bedroom It's a gentle and chaotic relationship – yes, it does include the relationship she shared with her sister. The devastating disagreement with an older man (Yelich called the “Big Mr.’s Era) informed “Up in the Flame” which included a shout at Wayland, formerly her favorite date spot with her ex. However, she took back the bar for her breakup effortlessly because as she flashed in her eyes, “This is mine, baby.
There is also “sailboat”, she said, which was inspired by the chaotic relationship with her female friend whom she “placed on the pedestal” to form an undetermined romantic mood that blurs “love each other” with the natural “primitive” way. But, according to Yelich, the outstanding track – and the most rehabilitating track, is “Idol,” she is finally able to express all the emotions she has accumulated in sharing with the public about her siblings’ complexity for years.
The lyrics are firm: “They don't know your love and will never be bound by blood,” she sang Lorde's fans on the bed of synthesizer and electric guitar. “I’m the one you’re running.”
However, “idol” is not about giving information to other parts of the world. Jelich emphasized: “This is a love song from my sister.” “This is everything I want to say [about her fame] And put it on the bed. It really is about building this trust and love with a private relationship and striving to deal with the emotional tug of war that I share with someone so close to me. ”
That being said, Jelich admitted that she was a little nervous about Lord (who knew only Ella) playing the “Idol” and had reservations about confessions like “You/Shatter me/Believe me, I know you love me” and therefore clearly stated you. Fortunately, both sisters are working on their latest projects at the same time, and they often listen to each other’s demonstrations while doing the production. Lorde also pulls the curtains back into a tricky family dynamic from her June album virgin – The fifth track, discovering that she desperately admits to being the “favorite daughter” of mom Sonja's three girls – Yelich feels the track is clear, and she is also clear.
“I was really inspired by her honesty,” she took her sister seriously. “I’m really proud [her writing about] The muse is our mother. I can relate to it. You know the sorority relationship is complicated. I really grew up with that song. ”
Yelich went to class with her and continued to move forward on her sleeve with her heart. “Am I shining?” she asked in Wayland with a frown, sprinkled on her face, revealing that one of the people she was obsessed with was the audience and was performing a makeshift stage around the corner of the bar. In her future, there are more shows—she will play baby everything in Brooklyn in November—but on Wednesday night, she exudes a happy bliss, a small gift for her favorite bar performance in front of someone who loves her.
Just before she started singing, the most important thing was that they walked in. Lorde looked down on the key with simple white buttons and ponytails, quietly covering herself up among the rest of the crowd, and as Yelich sang directly to her, she and her little sister were shiny in boredom with boredom and shining on her face. That night, she It was a supportive behavior, and she didn't seem to mind at all.
