Lorde likes beaches, weed, and cult-like energy in her new era.
byLorde temporarily sent much of the internet haywire on Thursday her single “Solar Power” was temporarily uploaded and then almost instantly deleted from several streaming services. For many fans, even just the first taste of her third studio album, also titled, was almost too much to bear. Up until Thursday night—2021’s only solar eclipse—it had been a full four years since Lorde dropped new music.
Not only did the song’s first 30 seconds suddenly become available; they began with the words “I hate the winter / can’t stand the cold.” Up until then, she’d cited the opposite type of inspiration: Lorde was so struck by her recent travels to Antarctica that she published a photo book to memorialize the visit.
From the look of the music video that eventually dropped on Thursday night , Lorde will continue to stay clear of the arctic tundra. Instead of bundled up in negative temperatures, the video finds her leaping across a sunny beach, midriff on full display. It’s a much more fitting location for a day out cavorting with a cult, which is exactly what the video seems to depict. “I’m going to tell my kids this was,” one YouTube user commented amassing 18,000 likes.
So, where did this new celestial Lorde come from? The singer offered some answers in a newsletter email accompanying the video. “There’s someone I want you to meet,” she wrote in her newsletter. “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.
And, according to Lorde, this special “someone” might be as relatable as her persona of an angsty suburban teen. The song—collaboration between herself and Jack Antonoff—is more broadly about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all come June.” ”Lorde, not to mention her “lovers,” stick around? There’s no word just yet—nor even an album release date—but apparently, “a truly comical amount of detail” is on its way.
