alsemanche 89,626 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If we're talking New Zealand's seasons, apparently next season (Spring) starts in September because Winter lasts June, July, August. So that means we have to wait another few months for it From the interview: Speaking of the new album, when are we expecting that one to be gracing the world? "Well I cannot give you too much detail right now, but I will say... you'll get it in the next season. It's finished, it's amazing, and it's coming." Is the album going to take the same direction as Solar Power? "I would say it's a really good encapsulation of that side of the album but, as with me, there's always the heavy songs, the deep introspective songs. There's many flavours to the last few years for me so this is one of those flavours." As well as releasing the single, Lorde also dropped the music video for 'Solar Power' shot on a NZ beach, amazingly, all in one shot. "It was all one shot and it was so difficult. Everything had to go perfectly for us to get that shot working. We must've done it 10 or 12 times I reckon, the weather had to perfect, it all had to come together. I've got a whole bunch of my friend's in the video, my little brother is in the video." When asked about where the beach was in NZ, Lorde said she wanted it to be kept a secret so it doesn't get destroyed but said what ever your favourite beach is, just picture that that's the one we were at.

I think, since she's telling that we'll be getting it next season, is set for the summer solstice this month. She said herself on that email that it'll be our summer companion. I want to assume she's always been addressing the northern hemisphere, especially since that initial plan of releasing the first single applies to just that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 20,282 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 The whole concept of the album is about summer, I can't see her releasing it on Spring.

Helxig 40,168 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 You had me all excited that for once we would actually have summer bops during summer and not winter here in NZ So annoying that the whole world's music scene releases according to US/northern hemisphere seasons. I've never known a summer like you Americans talk about where all these 'summer bops' and good vibes come out during summer I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

The "summer" bops always come out in the middle of the winter for us. But I don't think her label would support an album about summer and especially titled Solar Power during US/Europe winter I’m on my Legacy Act era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
