Lorde has released a new single. “The Path” is the sixth track to be released from their current album SOLAR POWER. The accompanying music video was produced by Lorde himself with Joel Kefali.
Lorde shares about The Path:
“On the occasion of the solstice, I wanted to share a sixth video with you, for THE PATH. This video is the first chapter in the mystical Solar Power story, a prequel to the title video. You see my character joining her friends and family on the island where they’ve chosen to start life anew, arriving in her trademark suit and quickly being transformed by nature’s strange magic. I’m so proud of my buds for learning the dance in this one. Hope you like it.”
Lorde’s third album SOLAR POWER was released in August 2021. “Hare Rama instead of melodrama: The prematurely completed girl now makes west coast hippie pop,” said ME author Julia Lorenz in her review and awarded five out of six stars. In our year in review special, we counted Lorde among the teenage superstars making a splash in 2021, alongside Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
