Our kiwi queen Lorde has finally shared footage from her long-awaited third album era and much like Kim Kardashian’s iconique Paper magazine cover, it’s breaking the internet.
The singer dropped cover artwork for something called ‘Solar Power’ on her website and the accompanying piccy is v. cheeky. Now, I dunno if this is the new single or the new album but either way, I’m bloody well intrigued.
The site also has a one-line message: “Arriving in 2021 … Patience is a virtue.” Head over to lorde.co.nz to see for yourself.
This album has been a long time coming and Lorde has been teasing us every step of the way. Just over a year ago, Lorde revealed the album was in the works in an email to fans.
“I started going back to the studio again in December, just for something to do, and to my surprise, good things came out,” she wrote. “Happy, playful things. I felt my melodic muscles flexing and strengthening.”
She revealed that Jack Antonoff, who she previously collaborated with on Melodrama, would be working on the album with her in her native New Zealand as well as Los Angeles.
“A thing started to take shape. And then, of course, the world shut down,” she added. “We’re still working away — Jack and I FaceTimed for over an hour this morning going over everything. But it’ll take a while longer.”
“Waiting, the thing that felt so pointless and annoying when I was young, is now this kind of delicio activity,” she continued. “In my opinion, the greatest treat I can give you is work that will last ten, twenty, thirty years. And that kind of work takes time. So if you can, I’d like for you to try tuning in to the time spent waiting for something of the highest quality to arrive. Enjoy the sensation as it builds. When the moment comes, our wave will crest super f—ing high.I can tell you, this new thing, it’s got its own colours now. If you know anything about my work, you’ll know what that means.”
“The work is so fucking good, my friend,” she concluded. “I am truly jazzed for you to hear it.”
I’m waiting for it, this album, I WANT IT.
