Solar Power review: Netizens call newly-released song "beyond therapeutic"

Ahead of Lorde's "sexy, playful, feral, and free" album Solar Power's release, the Royals hitmaker dropped the music video of the titular track from her much-awaited third album on June 10 and left fans in a frenzy. In a newsletter to her beloved fans, the 24-year-old singer wrote, "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!!)." She also referred to her upcoming album as a "modern girl" in her newsletter. Lorde expressed writing,

There's someone I want you to meet. Her feet are bare at all times. She's sexy, playful, feral, and free. She's a modern girl in a deadstock bikini, in touch with her past and her future, vibrating at the highest level when summer comes around. Her skin is glowing, her lovers are many. I'm completely obsessed with her, and soon you will be too. The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing 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 newly released title track Solar Power from the album has been written and produced by Lorde, along with Jack Antonoff. The two-time BRITs Award-winner also directed the song's music video with Joel Kefali. In the video, she is seen rocking a bright-yellow crop top and skirt at a beach with groups of individuals, as they dance, eat, play chess and hang out.
