Who knew "Green Light" was so literal?*
Unless you're a loyal fan, you might **t realise that New Zealand musician and young genius Lorde (http://mashable.com/2017/04/17/lorde-kanye-west-coachella/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) has synesthesia (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150413214343.htm). But she does. And it informs her songwriting more than you might think. *
The 20-year-old Ella Yelich-O'Con**r has sound-to-colour synesthesia, otherwise k**wn as chromesthesia (https://**isey.vice.com/en_uk/article/youneedtohearthis-chromesthesia-feeling-music-in-colours). That means for **tes and sounds that she hears, corresponding colours appear in front of her eyes. She's spoken about it before (http://www.musictimes.com/articles/51099/20151017/lorde-reveals-wanted-comedian-tumblr-q.htm), but a new profile in the NY Times last week has shed new light on the condition and how it effects her songwriting. *
