Days after teasing that she had music on the way, Lorde released the new single “Solar Power” on Thursday (June 10).
The strummy, shimmery song features background vocals from Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo and is co-written and co-produced by Lorde and her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.
On Monday, Lorde took to her website to share cover artwork with the title “Solar Power.” The art showed a woman, likely Lorde herself, photographed from the ground up wearing a thong with a long-sleeve yellow shirt. “ARRIVING IN 2021 … PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE,” a message under the artwork read.
