Earlier this month, after months of teasing her return, Lorde shared new single ‘Solar Polar’, her first new material since 2017’s ‘Melodrama‘, which was named NME’s album of the year.

In a five-star review, NME‘s Rhian Daly called the new song, which features backup vocals from Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo, “a sun-kissed ode to starting anew and doing it in one of the best places for it – soaking up the rays on a glorious beach.”

Lorde also accompanied the release with a new video. Co-directed with Joel Kefali, who she previously worked with on the ‘Royals’ music video, it sees Lorde sporting a yellow dress as she dances on a beach, joined by other people at different intervals.

Earlier tonight (June 21), Lorde announced that her much anticipated third album, also called ‘Solar Power’, will arrive August 20. She also shared the album’s tracklist, which you can see here.

“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors,” Lorde said of the album. “In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”

Meanwhile, in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Lorde discussed the similarities between ‘Solar Power’ and Primal Scream’s ‘Loaded’.

“I had never heard Primal Scream in my life. I’d been told to check them out,” she said. “I wrote the song on the piano and then we realised it sounds a lot like ‘Loaded’. It’s just one of those crazy things that they just were the spiritual forebears of the song.”

Primal Scream have since said that they “love” Lorde’s single.
