• "In November 2012, it was freely available through SoundCloud"..... try the EP was released

• How does it look now? Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Definitely better. Snuggums (talk • contributions) 14:21, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• "MacLachlan attempted to put Lorde with several songwriters and producers to help her producing them, but it failed"..... doesn't read very well, would be better as something like "MacLachlan unsuccessfully tried to set up Lorde with several songwriters and producers to help her with production"

• Done. Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• "written by Lorde (credited as her birth-name Ella Yelich-O'Connor) and Joel Little"..... you don't need to mention the whole "credited as" bit

• Why? Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• I don't think the "self" in "Lorde self-released The Love Club EP through her SoundCloud account" is needed

• Self-release is different from release. Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Very well. Snuggums (talk • contributions) 14:21, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• "On 8 March 2013, The Love Club EP was available for digital download via iTunes Stores"..... was released digitally via iTunes

• Done. Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Remove the hyphen from "In early-2014"

• Done. Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Try to find more reviews

• I'm trying to find more reviews, but seems like the only three sources in the article are WP:RS. Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Just add more if you do find them. Snuggums (talk • contributions) 14:21, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

There's my 2¢. Snuggums (talk • contributions) 04:16, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Gee, thanks! Simon (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Prism

• "began to write songs" → "began writing songs"

• Fixed. Simon (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• " all of the songs for the record" → "the EP" (simple and not redundant)

• Done. Simon (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• "and from 8 March 2013, the EP was purchased for sales by Universal Music Group and Virgin." (a bit awkward...) → Make this a separate sentence, writing "The EP was (commercially/for sales) released on 8 March 2013 by (those labels).

• Done. Simon (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• The Nelson Mail says nothing about indie rock, just indie.

• Adabow, he fixed indie --> indie rock. Simon (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)|

• The "indie" in "indie-flavoured electronica" obviously refers to a genre, not the independent music industry. All the indie genres are derived from indie rock, so we could describe it as indie rock influenced or indietronica. Adabow (talk) 04:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• "some footage" → "footage"

• Fixed. Simon (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Ultimately, ..." (remove ultimately)

• Why? Ultimately = Finally, to show that the pair-up with Joel Little was the last set up. Simon (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

• "The pair" is very similar to "paired"... change "the pair" to their surnames so the prose doesn't become repetitive

• Surnames for me are quite repetitive more than using "the pair". Simon (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Lorde had finished recording three tracks: "Royals", "Bravado" and "Biting Down" (remove three tracks:, it's redundant)

• Removed. Simon (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

• "They also recorded two other songs, "Million Dollar Bills" and "The Love Club" (Did they record two other songs, Million Dollar Bills and The Love Club, or did they record "Million Dollar Bills" and "The Love Club" (the two other songs)? This sentence is ambiguous. If it's the last option, change the comma and the following space to —.

• Oh my god! Thanks for reminding me . Simon (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Little played all the instruments, including his own drum sample," (I find the drum part a bit confusing... like a drum sample is an instrument. Maybe "[...], while Little played all the instruments, including guitar and synthesizer, and also recorded drum samples.")
• There's a Wikipedia guideline (of which I forgot the name) that says AllMusic isn't reliable for composers. Can you use AV media notes instead?

• Sadly the EP doesn't have liner notes. Simon (talk) 05:10, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

• Be consistent with locations... either add them for all articles or remove them for articles that have them. (except for the iTunes Store links)

• There you go. Much appreciated, Simon (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

• "'Royals' and 'Million Dollar Bills' are the two tracks that criticize the high life" → "Royals" and "Million Dollar Bills" criticize the high life. — prism △ 19:17, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
