Lorde

It is Thanksgiving weekend and we have so much to be thankful for this year. In addition to friends, family and good health - Can we talk new artists!?!

As one of the biggest hits of 2013, Lorde's 'Royals' has been the subject of tons of remixes and covers, both amateur and professional. Even Selena Gomez covered it live. This stunning rendition by AcaBelles, the a cappella group at Florida State University, is one of the best we've seen. And trust us. We've seen tons.

Before she was topping the charts and putting her foot in her mouth about artists like David Guetta, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, Lorde was a pretty 12-year-old fronting a band called Extreme. (We'll forgive her for not knowing that was a metal band first since she wasn't even born back then!) And she looked exactly the same!

How's this for an amazing celebrity sighting: Taylor Swift and Lorde lunching together in New York City!

David Guetta is pop-EDM royalty, a producer and DJ that most artists would sever a limb to work with, since he is known for being a hitmaker who teams up with the top of the pops! One artist not keen on getting into bed, musically speaking, with the French superstar? Oh, none other than Lorde. Guetta will never be "royal" in her eyes!

So let me get this right…the people who run our government don't have to go to work cause they can't agree on a spending bill. Yet, when all is said and done – after days and possibly weeks off they'll strike an agreement and pay themselves retroactively.

Ella Yelich-O’Connor better known by her stage name Lorde is blowin’ up on the music scene. This 16-year-old singer-songwriter from New Zealand has already drawn comparisons to Lana Del Rey and Grimes. And you'll hear a custom HK remix of Lorde's "Royals" -- along with all sorts of new remixes -- on In the Mix with HK.

As if we weren't already excited enough for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' movie, the track list for its soundtrack has just been released -- and it's jam packed with our favorite artists!
