Lorde announces new single "Solar Power"
It's now officially Hot Girl green-energy-powered summer.
Details of Lorde's latest single zipped through the internet over the past few days, following the announcement of her pending Primavera Sound performance, leading to all the impatient fans who dropped the name and cover art for the first single today. were leaking. Tested by his conscientious listeners, Lorde officially announced the title of his new single, "Solar Energy", to be released sometime in 2021.
"Arriving in 2021... Patience is a virtue," she writes to her fans in a nearly pointed line.
She didn't share the news anywhere on social media (she hasn't tweeted since 2017), but did it the old fashioned way and updated her website with new single titles and cheeky cover art. In this case we mean cheeky, with the New Zealander's rear in full view as he runs over the camera along the beach.
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter has taken a healthy break from releasing music, live performances and the public spotlight, with her last show in 2018 as a part of the Melodrama World Tour. Over the past four years she traveled to Antarctica (releasing a photo book about the trip called Going South), mourned the loss of her dog Pearl, and mostly kept to herself. The only news about her life and new music to fans has come from her email newsletters, where she has revealed that she is reuniting with producer Jack Antonoff for the new album.
Lorde's debut album, Pure Heroine, was released in 2013. The single "Royals" won Grammys for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, making her the youngest person to receive the award. His 2017 sophomore album Melodrama received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
