Solar Power - Lorde // Album Review
Lorde’s Solar Power is an airy body of work that refuses to stand in the long shadow cast by its predecessor.
released via Lava Records, 20 August 2021
“Forget all of the tears that you’ve cried / It’s over / It’s a new state of mind / Are you coming, my baby?”, sings Lorde on the first song she released since 2017. The heavily-anticipated single dodged every expectation following the brooding, heavily-synthesized Melodrama. Instead, it ushered Lorde in an era kissed by the summer sun, with a bunch of rooftop performances and, more anecdotally–but perhaps as impressive–a remarkable ability to withstand spicy food.
Favorites: Solar Power, California, Fallen Fruit, Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen it All), Mood Ring
