Disclosure play SNL with Lorde and Sam Smith

Over the weekend, Disclosure were the musical guests on Saturday Night Live - which opened with a touching, bilingual declaration of support for the people of Paris.

The duo performed two tracks from their current album, Caracal, aided by guest vocalists Sam Smith and Lorde, who make an interesting comparison.

Smith was laid back and suave - his trademark falsetto apparently requiring no effort whatsoever. Lorde, on the other hand, bubbled and broiled, her performance summoned from the pit of her stomach. Both were incredible, although you get the impression Lorde's song came from somewhere much more personal than Smith's.

Disclosure helpfully uploaded both tracks to their Vevo channel so you can decide which you prefer.
