Oh, FYI,Lordeis back.
After re-activating heronion ring-rating Instagram accountin April, the recording artist and sensation has finally dropped a new album.
There’s a lot to unpack here, both in the lyrics and in Lordes’s representation of them.
Here’s one way to listen to “Solar Power”: don’t.
“She’s having the time of her godd*** life,” writes aHarper’s Bazaarreviewer.
“And you know what?
After listening to ‘Solar Power,’ so are we.
“Pitchforkcalls the track “featherweight [and] full of air.”
Is Solar Power the new Watermelon Sugar?
Is “Solar Power” a hit of “Watermelon Sugar” magnitude?
“Who needs therapy when Lorde’s solar power is free?”
asks one fan viatweet.
But there’s a layer to “Solar Power” that is almost off-putting.
Lorde promises us, in her song, “a new state of mind.”
Is she the leader of a cult?
Whatever the artist’s offering up, it’s too late.
We’ve all gone down the rabbit hole with her.
