Since the beginning of this year, rumors have been coming up again and again that Lorde could soon launch new tracks again. Now she announced big changes herself.
Waking up from a dream
On April 9, the musician already shared a 15-second video clip with her fans, who shows her while walking through the Washington Square Park in New York. A previously unknown song with the title “WWT” runs. The text of the music section sounds like a personal narrative: “Since I was 17 / i gave you Everything / now we wake from a dream / Well baby, what what that?” In the meantime, more than 2o.ooo posts have been posted on Tiktok for the sound.
On the weekend of April 12th, Lorde also appeared at the American Coachella Festival alongside Billie Eilish and Troye Sivan Feature Gaße. Eilish and they performed their common song “Girl, so confusing”. Fans of both artists have celebrated the track since the release last summer. About the common live performance said Lorde in a voice message that she shared on WhatsApp that she felt “so real” on stage. “I can feel everything I shed in order to be as I am now,” added the New Zealander.
“I’m ready”
She also had news about her own music: “I just wanted to say ‘Hello’ because everything will change. These are really the last moments in which we are alone. It is really right. I am ready. I didn’t know if I could ever say that, but I was. I am so grateful for your patience. I felt your love, I have felt it right here.”
Her Spotify profile also found a reference to new things. At the moment there is only “04.25” in her biography-which could possibly indicate April 25 as a release date for new music. But it won’t be more specific.
The current album of Lorde, Solar Power, was released in 2021. The plate is shaped by a happy, summer sound and includes songs like “Big Star” and “Mood Ring”.
