Something is happening at Lorde: The New Zealand singer seems to have new music in store. How do we want to make this from? Here we go …
What was that?
On Wednesday, April 9th, Lorde divided one on Tiktok 15-second video clip With their fans. This shows them on a walk through the Washington Square Park in New York. First you can only see your feet, then your face is briefly in the picture before you sprint and the video breaks off. Lorde wears large headphones in the recording, and a previously unknown song runs.
The text sounds like a personal narrative: “Since I was 17 / i gave you Everything / now we wake from a dream / Well baby, what what that?” At Instagram, Lorde also shared the screenshot of a comment under the video in her story. This is simply: “Wait, what?”
Lorde clears up at social media
The musician recently took all the posts from her social media pages and cleared her on her website on. The video is your first post since the restart and therefore an additional reference to new music. Those based on the neckline, which are so guessed on the neckline, could again approach the dark synth pop mood, which Lorde previously distinguished. Her still up-to-date album Solar Power (2021) had moved away with happier summer sounds.
Few signs of life
In the past few months, Lorde had also made statements several times that have now condensed the image of a new album. So she referred to new creative ways last summer, and producer Jim-E Stack posted from a collaboration with the artist.
Since the release of Solar Power, Lorde has only published the Talking Heads cover “Take Me To The River”, sang Marlon Williams on his “Kāhore He Manu E” and worked with Charlie XCX on a remix of their song “Girl, so confusing” (2024).
Lorde still has no confirmation. A new album would be your fourth long player.
