Lorde has officially ended the long drought of new music releases from her discography with the release of her new single, "Solar Power."
With a relaxed, sunny vibe, “Solar Power” is a homage to the hippie acoustic era of ‘60s/early '70s, with soft drums as Lorde attempts to immortalize the deep, transcendent feeling of being one with nature.
The new track also arrives alongside summery visuals that see Lorde enjoying a beach day, giving us some serious Midsommar vibe.
Meanwhile, Lorde also surprised fans on her mailing list by announcing the title of her her new Album. "There’s someone I want you to meet," she wrote. “Her feet are bare at all times. She’s sexy, playful, feral, and free. She’s a modern girl in a deadstock bikini, in touch with her past and her future, vibrating at the highest level when summer comes around. Her skin is glowing, her lovers are many. I’m completely obsessed with her, and soon you will be too. It’s my divine pleasure to be introducing you, at long last, to my third studio album, SOLAR POWER."
“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.” vibes.
