ALBUM OF THE WEEK

LORDE SOLAR POWER

★★★★

In June Lorde surprised fans with the release of the single Solar Power, which was also to be the name of her new album.

The single, co-written by Lorde and Jack Antonoff, got 30 million streams in its first five days – a sign of good things to come. And that good thing is definitely this third album.

Solar Power offers one hit after another. From the easy opener of The Path and throughout, it’s clear Lorde meant to come back with music bound to make people sit up and listen. Watch this space for a Dominoes and Mood Ring singles chart takeover.

This 12-track album makes for a thought-provoking listen. Lorde does things in style and this album is no different.
