The discussion about creation credits has already generated debates (and processes) between national and international artists.
Lorde addressed the matter in a recent interview with the A24 Divine Frequency podcast, in a chat with Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer.
The New Zealand singer said that she started to be credited as co-director of her clips from the single “Solar Power” and that she started to reflect on it recently.
“I wrote all the treatments and helped produce it, because I was super, super involved. It was so much fun to be on that set”, said the artist.
Hunter asked Lorde if she had directed before. Lord replied:
"Damn bitch, you're a Scorpio."

“It’s that classic young woman thing where you’re like, ‘I think I do this, but I’ve never been credited with this and nobody’s ever talked to me about it’, whether it’s music production, video directions, or graphic design“, Lorde added.
“It takes a second to say, I know what I contributed to this and my credit should reflect that. It’s definitely been a process for me, figuring out how to express that.
So (the ‘Solar Power’ video) it’s the first time I’ve been called a director“
