Here's news no one expected: Lorde's return! Indeed, on May 19, the singer gave her news to her audience via an email in which she announced that she was back in the studio.
A musical and media withdrawal due to multiple factors
Lorde is 2 successful albums: Pure Heroine (2013) and Melodrama (2017). It is also a hundred concerts around the world. At 23, the singer already has 2 grammy awards, for the song Royals that the singer admits to hate today. His 2 albums have both been praised by the public and music critics. So everything seemed to be going well for Lorde, who had started composing and writing his new album after the Melodrama Tour. However, in November 2019, Lorde explained in an email that the album would be delayed due to the death of her dog. She then wrote "to have lost her boy and that it will take him time to see the positive and finish this album". The singer is no longer very active on social networks then disappears completely. She reappears on May 19, 2020 with a long email in which she specifies the reasons for her musical break. Lorde explains that the sequence of dates was exhausting! She wanted to "get away from the stress of concerts and social media and take the time to cook, go to the beach, and settle in a fixed place". https://twitter.com/daremefeed/status/1262888006438006784
However, Lorde is back in the studio!
In the email, Lorde explains that she is looking forward to "playing festivals, hearing my intro music, seeing the band again, going on stage […] I want to do interviews and talk about my records over and over again." The singer writes that she has returned to the studio with her producer Jack Antonoff since last December. Torn between studios in Auckland and Los Angeles, Lorde says she managed "to her surprise, to have created joyful things". Despite the quarantine period, she continues to work remotely with her producer. However, if the singer is in the studio again, the album will not be for her right away. Lorde prefers to take her time to produce a high quality album. According to her, "the best gift she can give is a job that will last ten, twenty, thirty years". It will therefore be necessary to arm yourself with patience to hear Lorde again! This third album promises to be as qualitative, if not more, than the singer's previous projects. Everyone is excited to be able to listen to her songs again, Lorde first! She wrote that she couldn't wait for her "friends" to finally hear her!
