Lorde on the cover of Rolling Stone

[Teletubby 159,869]

On Virgin‘s opening track, she lays the tale of her rebirth bare: “Some days I’m a woman/Some days I’m a man.”

Lorde'salbum ‘Virgin’ includes a track titled ‘Man of the Year’ - Lorde wrote “Man of the Year,” she was sitting on the floor of her living room, trying to visualize a version of herself “that was fully representative of how [her] gender felt in that moment.” What she saw once again was an image of herself in men’s jeans, this time wearing nothing else but her gold chain and duct tape on her chest. The tape had this feeling of rawness to her, of it “not being a permanent solution.”

Her lyrics on Virgin are vivid and at times grotesque, full of action and fluids and bodily functions. There’s spit and mouthwash and ovulation and glimpses of Lorde riding her bike, swallowing MDMA, dragging on a cigarette.
