Lorde – Solar Power

"Solar Power" is the telling title of her third solo work after "Pure Heroine" (2013) and "Melodrama" (2017). Both albums reached number one in their home country New Zealand and in Australia, and internationally they reached the Top 10 several times

Best conditions for "Solar Power", which she already announced with the single of the same name. Inspired by the power of nature, the dreampop song and lyrics are "about that infectious, flirty summer energy that takes hold of us all," Lorde said. Fans immediately noticed a sonic similarity to George Michael's "Freedom! ’90«. However, the George Michael estate already gave its blessing to the song.

In total, there are twelve new tracks on "Solar Power". They celebrate nature. The album is an attempt to immortalize the deep, transcendental feeling the singer has when she is outside

In keeping with this, Lorde chose an unusual form of release: instead of a CD, the album is released as a box without a sound carrier, but with a download code. It is a 100% biodegradable hard eco-box. The download code offers the new album with bonus tracks and access to exclusive content. In addition, a fold-out poster and a 32-page booklet as well as a limited 4-card set await.

"I decided early on in the process of making this album that I also wanted to create an environmentally friendly, forward-thinking alternative to the CD," Lorde said

"I wanted this jukebox product to be similar in size, shape and price to live alongside a CD at retail, but something that stood out from it - a plastic-free box that contains lots of extra visual content, handwritten notes, exclusive photos and a download card. It's like buying a membership to a small club dedicated to the evolving nature of a modern album."
