For the first time in 5 years, formidable pop queen Lorde will return to stages across Australia in March 2022 with her Solar Power Tour.
With the release of her long anticipated new single, ‘Solar Power’ – her first new music in four years and the first taste of her forthcoming album of the same name (out 20 August), Lorde channels vibrant acoustic vibes and beachside hangs. It’s a refreshing dip back to organics, a light, summery anthem inspired by the storied folk songwriters of the 60s and 70s and early 2000s pop.
Penned with long-time collaborator and producer Jack Antonoff and with backing vocals from Clairo and Phoebe Bridgers, ‘Solar Power’ has taken the world by storm, NME calling it a “gorgeous, sun-kissed rebirth” and a “quietly but supremely confident return”.
At the age of just 16, Lorde released her first album Pure Heroine, breaking into the international market and later going on to win two Grammy Awards including the coveted Album of the Year. The album peaked at #1 in over 20 countries, including Australia, New Zealand and America and featuring chart topping tracks ‘Royals’, ‘Tennis Court’ and ‘Team’.
With her third studio album, Lorde turns her attention to nature. She says, “The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”
Renowned for her enthralling vocals and commanding stage presence, Lorde never fails to impress on the live stage. Visiting cities across Australia for the first time since her sold out 2017 national tour, don’t miss your chance to catch this epic performer live next year!
