SO FAR, “What Was that” has been the most popular song, charting at 36 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart and Amassing Over 80 Million Streams on Spotify. The Prospect of New Music Has Helped Boost Her Catalog As Well, AS “RIBS,” HER MUCH-BLOOVED TRACK FROM DEBUT ALBUM Pure Heroine, Finally Charted On the Hot 100 Back in May After Her Viral, Chaotic Pop-Up in Washington Square Park Park Back in April.
Virgin Follows Lorde’s 2021 Solar Power, WHICH REPRESENTED A BIT OF A SONIC AND AESTHETIC DEPARTURE FROM The Synth-Pop She’d Been Associated with.

For Virgin, Lorde Worked Mosstly with Producer and Co-Writer Jim-E Stack, Who Also Produced Bon iver’s Latest Album Sable, Fable. Other Contributors on the Album Include Dan Nigro, Producer for Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo, And Buddy Ross, Whose Credits Include Tracks For Vampire Weekek.
Lorde Sat Down with Zane Lowe for An Interview that Aired Thursday ahead of Virgin’s Release, Giving A Wide-Ranging Conversation Touching on Everything from Hammer To Giving An Early Peak at the Album to Jack Harlow, To Addressing Become ASA AS AS A TEENAGER.
”I THINK FOR A Long Time i’ve Tried to Be Very Binary About It,” Lorde Told Lowe. “WHEN I’M IN THE STUDIO OR WHEN I’M IN AMERICA, I’M ARTIST. WHEN I GO HOME TO NEW ZEAAND, I’M NOT ARTIST AND I TURN THAT PART OF MYSELF.
Lorde Will Be Taking Her New Album on the Road Later in the Fall for the Ultrasound World Tour, WHICH IS Shaping Up to Be One of the Hottest Shows of the Year As Nearly every Date Has. The Tour Will Kick Off at the Moody Center in Austin on September 17th.
