Lorde appeared to tease the upcoming release of new music with a post that was shared on her Instagram account on Sunday.
In the snaps, the 27-year-old performer wore a pair of headphones and stared at the camera while resting her face on her hand.
The hitmaker, who recently shared a cryptic open letter that many viewed as hinting at a breakup, also wrote a short message to tell her nearly 11 million followers that she was ‘listening to myself.’
Lorde, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, also wore a set of striped beige pajamas as she posed for the snaps.
The Royals singer’s brightly colored hair paired perfectly with the light tone of her clothing.
The Grammy Award-winning songwriter debuted two new tracks during her set at the Boardmasters Festival, which took place in Cornwall, England this past August.
According to Vulture, the hitmaker played a pair of songs that were said to have been titled Silver Moon and Invisible Ink, although she later denied that those were the final name.
Although many fans suspected that Lorde was planning on releasing a new album, she took to her Instagram account to express that she did not have a major project in the works.
She wrote: ‘This is not the start of anything out there, just want u to know there’s a light on inside me.’
When another fan commented that the hitmaker was trying to mislead her fanbase, she doubled down on her original denial.
‘I’m serious literally just decided to set these free from my laptop … but they’re not bad eh,’ she wrote.
Lorde’s most recently-released album, entitled Solar Power, made its debut in August of 2021.
The LP was preceded by three singles, including the title track, Stoned at the Nail Salon and Mood Ring. and a fourth single, Fallen Fruit, was released in November.
The performer also received much notice for not releasing CD copies of her record in an effort to be environmentally conscious.
Solar Power was a hit with listeners, and the album received mixed to positive reviews from critics.
The record also performed well commercially and peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart.
Lorde also embarked on a tour in support of the album, which kicked off last April and concluded this past March.
