If it's truly in the works, the collaboration makes more sense than you might initially assume: though they make very different kinds of music, both Lorde and Yeezy have an affinity for mixing dark, electronic textures with big pop hooks. Lorde has often praised the rapper and covered "Flashing Lights" and "Hold My Liquor" on tour.

West, meanwhile, has expressed his appreciation of Lorde's music. The popstar told Rolling Stone that when she met Mr. West backstage at Later�With Jools Holland, he told her that "he liked the messages [in my songs], which was cool."
