Lorde gets raw and real in latest upcoming album teaser

by

Initially, let’s discuss some professional news. The upcoming Lorde album titled “Virgin” is scheduled for release on June 27. In line with her usual pattern, this will mark another addition to her discography. Since making her debut in 2013, she has consistently released a new album every four years. Each of her albums has made it to the top five on Billboard’s album chart.

As a dedicated fan, I must say, the latest release by the remarkable Lorde is truly something special! Given her track record of delivering exceptional music from New Zealand, it’s hard not to have high expectations. Moreover, she never seems content with resting on past laurels. She continues to push boundaries as any great artist should. However, let’s be clear, Lorde’s new video is most definitely Not Safe For Work!

She doesn’t intentionally aim for explicit behavior, instead, she occasionally removes her top and secures her chest with duct tape, which some might find suggestive. However, there’s no actual nudity involved. Yet, this subtle display, combined with her dancing in the dirt, seems to provoke discomfort among bosses and conservatives alike. The irony lies in the fact that she is merely expressing her body freely and moving around in a natural setting.

Lorde bares nearly all (body and soul) in latest video

The title of the latest release is “Man of the Year.” While it can be interpreted in various ways, Lorde seems to encourage self-acceptance with this song. In a candid conversation with Rolling Stone, she has openly discussed her explorations regarding her gender identity. On many days, she identifies as a woman; however, there are moments when she perceives herself as a man.

Such straightforward yet puzzling sincerity one might anticipate from her. The perplexing aspect underscores its importance. After all, we’re all grappling with various mysteries, often without immediate solutions, and sometimes those solutions remain elusive.

Title of the Year echoes a theme found in many songs by Lorde – it’s about embracing the curiosity and feeling comfortable in asking questions, even when we may not find the answers. The journey to uncover these answers can often be a continuous process.

As a dedicated fan, I must say, though she reveals only half her body in the video, her entire soul shines through – that’s the magic of true musical artists. We yearn to glimpse their inner selves more than their exterior. After dropping her latest single, I have no doubt that her upcoming album will be phenomenal, even when it leaves us wanting more insight than we initially expected.
