Lorde has released a new track called ‘Mood Ring’ – you can listen to it below.
Arriving today (August 17), the uplifting single will appear on the NZ singer’s third album ‘Solar Power’, which is set for release this Friday (August 20).
“I can’t feel a thing/ I keep looking at my mood ring/ Tell me how I’m feeling/ Floating away, floating away“, Lorde sings in the chorus after referencing the long lost “early 2000s” in the first verse.
“This is a song I am very excited about, it’s so much fun to me,” Lorde said in a statement. “Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into 60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again.
“That really resonated to me when writing this album. One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness. Things like eating a macro-biotic vegan diet or burning sage, keeping crystals, reading tarot cards or your horoscope.
These were all things that they were dabbling in back then, and that me and my girlfriends are dabbling in today.”
