Elusive pop superstar Lorde has finally teased the release of new music on the way.
After signing up to TikTok recently, the 28-year-old Kiwi singer-songwriter posted a short video that features her singing amidst a stroll in Washington Square Park, New York City, as she belts the lyrics ““Since I was 17, I gave you everything, Now we wake from a dream, Well baby, what was that?” Based on the snippet, the still-unnamed track features subdued electronic beats, marking a stark contrast from the guitar-laden production style and acoustic nature of her 2021 album, Solar Power.
Alongside the newly unveiled teaser, Lorde scrubbed her official website and social media platforms clean, sparking speculation that the release of new music is imminent. Fans worldwide have been eagerly waiting for the release of the “Royals” hitmaker’s fourth studio album, following a series of teasers posted throughout the past year, which showcased her recording in the studio and collaborating with producers like Jim-E Stack and Devonte Haynes.
Just last year, Lorde collaborated with Charli XCX for a special collaboration version of “Girl, so confusing” from the latter’s chart-breaking BRAT album, with the song also included in a deluxe remix album titled Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat. During select shows of Charli XCX’s Brat tour, the Kiwi singer also joined the hyper-pop phenomenon on stage, alongside the likes of Troye Sivan and Addison Rae.
Should an album release come in soon, it would mark her fourth studio album following the release of her 2013 debut album Pure Heroine, 2017’s Melodrama, and her most recent effort, 2021’s Solar Power. Solar Power debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 upon its release and featured production from Jack Antonoff, alongside uncredited collaborations with Clairo, Phoebe Bridgers, and Robyn.
