There’s more than a hint of 1960s flower child influence on Lorde’s third album. Solar Power is almost a work of pastiche, awash with nostalgia for a time the singer, real name Ella Yelich O’Connor, never experienced. The result is a mixed bag – sometimes beautiful and compelling, sometimes bordering on a caricature of itself.
“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”
The first song, also called SOLAR POWER and written and produced by myself and Jack, is the first of the rays. It’s about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all, come June (or December, if you’re a Southern Hemisphere baby like me but I know that’s literally IMPOSSIBLE for you all to wrap your little heads around so don’t worry about it!!).
I made everything with friends here in New Zealand. My best mate Ophelia took the cover photo, lying on the sand as I leapt over her, both of us laughing. The director who made my first ever music video, Joel, helped me create the videos, building an entire cinematic universe that I can’t wait for you to see. I made something that encapsulates where I’m from — my family, my girlfriends, my outdoors, my constant ruminations, and my unending search for the divine.
"Solar Power is a perfectly fine record with admirable production quality, and its beachy, relaxed vibes will surely soundtrack the warmer months for many. But, lacking the power and passion of her past releases, it ultimately feels like an anticlimax after years of waiting to see what the enterprising, creative pop star would do next. Given her penchant for reinvention, though, maybe something more surprising and invigorating lurks around the corner."
