First concentrate: Lorde‘s ‘sun electricity’ is an outpouring of pleasure

And on the 1455th day, the good Lorde created ‘sun power’.

Lorde’s go back – her first unmarried in over 4 years(!) – is an outpouring of pleasure and hope,

less when we want it maximum, however as a substitute while we’re geared up to enjoy in it.

Dwelling out in New Zealand, Lorde’s been basking in that submit-lockdown optimism for some time now,

lengthy sufficient for her to cook up a similarly optimistic summertime banger simply because the climate within the Northern hemisphere kicks up a notch and actual existence rears its head.

‘solar power isn’t a ‘we’re gonna get via this’ tune, it’s a ‘chin up, the worst bit is over’ tune (by way of worst bit we mean the four-12 months drought among albums).

All that euphoria is delivered in a special package deal this time around, there’s no longer a synth in sight,

just an acoustic guitar establishing, possibly signaling a much greater ‘organic’ sound for this Lorde cycle.

Now, this isn’t a monotonous acoustic guitar thought, it’s acoustic by way of – as you’ve possibly heard – ‘Freedom ninety’ by way of George Michael.

There’s an A Tribe known as Quest reference within the verses, it’s were given the swagger of ‘stroll at the Wild facet’

(funnily sufficient referenced in Haim’s ‘summer female’, which this tracks additionally remembers), and it goes out with a bang with a gospel finishing.

Lorde took a journey to Antarctica among liberating ‘Melodrama’ and writing this,

so it’s wonderfully ironic that she indicators her comeback with the lyrics “I hate the winter, can’t stand the bloodless”.

She additionally went silent on social media, speaking with lovers handiest thru email,

which makes the experience of the “can you attain me? No, you can’t!” line.

Maybe there’s a connection to ‘green mild’ in here someplace?

Consider how her ex lied approximately loving the beach?

(She additionally posted a lot approximately onion rings, however despite all our research we are able to discover any nods to them right here.)

There’s the lyric of the year – “I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus” – which is not simplest very true but additionally a genius revision of her level call.

The video is pure mom Earth cum Aphrodite summer goddess vibes,

and it’s exceptional to know that the whole thing turned into created along with her friends in New Zealand

(a truth she shared also through electronic mail).

The single also dropped on the day of this 12 months’ solar eclipse,

which isn’t an accident as she notes we should appear to the natural calendar for launch date clues.

This is all very Scorpio of her.

Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo did the backing vocals on this one, a lovely element,

and it sounds like it’s about to get without a doubt Taylor swift this cycle too.

No, we don’t mean because she’s long gone all proper and Jack Antonoff is aboard for the trip too,

it’s because there’s a ‘comical amount of element’ coming, according to her.

‘solar strength’ confirms a few things we already knew approximately Lorde.

She’s a sonic shapeshifter, sliding into any iteration of the father she fancies

and making it fresh and fully superb. She’s also clearly one of the maximum recognizable voices in pop.

and it’s solidified on this marked trade from her electronic beginnings.

With all that being stated, it’s proper to have Lorde back isn’t it?

‘sun power’ is a heat hug from a pal you haven’t visible for years (extraordinarily relatable analogy).

It’s familiar and smooth.

It’s the home windows down on a hot day and the cold waves in your toes.

Maximum of all, it’s a large tangy glass of orange juice whilst you’re genuinely thirsty,

and Lorde, my expensive, we’ve been PARCHED.
