STOP EVERYTHING. The Queen of Ethereal Sad Girl Energy™ is BACK and she’s dropped an album called ‘Virgin’ — and no, it’s not about what you think it’s about (or maybe it is, who even knows anymore?).
👑 Lorde, our fave barefoot forest witch turned cosmic pop oracle, has just released her fourth studio album and it’s called ‘Virgin’ — like, actual title, not a drill. This is the follow-up to her 2021 coastal grandma cult fave Solar Power, but make it less vitamin D and more spiritual rebirth via mushroom trip.
The new album includes her latest bangers:
- “What Was That” (we’re asking ourselves that too tbh),
- “Man of the Year” (bold claim, but okay), and
- “Hammer” (we don’t know what she’s smashing, but we’re scared… and turned on??).
🎙️ In a recent chat with Zane Lowe (a.k.a. therapy for celebrities with beats), Lorde spilled the existential tea about her double life. She basically said:
“I’m famous in America, but in New Zealand I’m just a girl with compost and social anxiety.”
Like imagine being world-famous but also taking out your own trash in Wellington?? Tragic.
She also confessed that during Solar Power, she tried to merge her two personalities — Pop Star Lorde™ and Homebody Ella™ — but spoiler alert: it didn’t exactly slay.
💬 Direct quote from her enlightened high-self:
“The purest version of me is famous… but like… in a garden… experiencing ego death… on a heroic dose.”
Ma’am… are you okay? And also where can we get that dose??
And wait for it — SHE’S GOING ON TOUR.
Yes. Lorde. Live. Possibly barefoot. Potentially levitating. Definitely iconic.
So grab your crystals, charge your phone, and stream ‘Virgin’ until your ears cry glitter.
