Lorde has officially started recording her much-anticipated follow-up to her 2021 album, Solar Power. On August 20, 2024, producer Jim-E Stack confirmed the news via an Instagram post featuring a candid shot of Lorde working in the studio. The singer-songwriter has been teasing her new music for some weeks, sharing a brief video clip last month where she can be seen nodding to a techno beat, captioned, "Will be back in touch."
Jim-E Stack, known for his work with artists such as Bon Iver, Charli XCX, and Caroline Polachek, will be collaborating with Lorde on this project. The producer's experience in blending genres aligns well with Lorde's musical evolution, having moved from the pop-centric sounds of Pure Heroine and Melodrama to the more environmental themes found in Solar Power.
As her fans eagerly await more details, it's clear that Lorde is dedicated to crafting music that reflects her growth as an artist. With this new album, expectations are high as listeners look forward to seeing how she continues to adapt and redefine her sound.
