Lorde just talked about how much she loves Solar Power but it still doesn’t feel like her.
The 28-year-old New Zealand pop star, who is set to make her comeback on June 27 with her upcoming album, Virgin, admitted that the her 2021 LP was a long time coming.
Speaking on Therapuss with Jake Shane about the tour she went on from 2017-2018, Lorde stated, “It was also so crazy touring Melodrama. I found it very intense for that whole time to be in this endless hardcore music [atmosphere] every night.”
“I found it pretty intense and I just wanted something light and easy after that. It was cool,” the Ribs hitmaker added.
Lorde continued, “I love Solar Power so much, and I truly needed to make it. I wouldn’t be here with another album if I hadn’t made Solar Power. But it showed me that you have no choice but to be who you’re supposed to be.”
“Me disappearing and being all wafty… I was like ‘actually, I don’t think this is me,’” she confessed.
Additionally, giving insights into her upcoming album, the Girl, So Confusing star revealed “a lot of people” won’t think she’s a “good girl anymore” after hearing Virgin.
“There’s going to be a lot of people who don’t think I’m a good girl anymore, a good woman. It’s over,” the musician told Rolling Stone magazine.
“It will be over for a lot of people, and then for some people, I will have arrived. I’ll be where they always hoped I’d be,” Lorde concluded.
