My DJ Pick of the Week this week is Lorde's "Green Light" from her forthcoming album, Melodrama.

Now Lorde has said of this new record it's a transformation, it's a transition to the next part of her life. On her debut release, 2013's Pure Heroine, Lorde said it was her way of chronicling teenage glory so that it might never be forgotten.

But now, it's time for the party. She's moving on to the next phase. The new album, Melodrama, is not out till mid-June, but in the meantime, we have this amazing slice of dance-floor magic from Lorde: "Green Light."
