Lorde hints at upcoming material during Primavera Sound set in Los Angeles

Lorde has hinted at the creation of new material during her Friday night set at Primavera Sound Los Angeles.

On Friday night, September 16th, Lorde used a set at Privera Sound in Los Angeles to hint at the impending arrival of new material. Inbetween songs, the 25-year-old Kiwi rested on her extravagant staging and reflected on the thematics of her previous records: ‘Pure Heroine’ was about “not being a teenager”; ‘Melodrama’ was “about a boy”; ‘Solar Power’ was “about the climate.”

“Who knows what will come next,” she teases, before confirming: “well, I know. And you’ll know sometime soon.”

You can view fan-recorded footage of the short monologue below:

Last month, Lorde distributed an email to fans which included the following: “I’ve kept working pretty much since tour ended, spending long days in a dark room, my brain buzzing like a fluorescent tube, eyes watering when I step back into the light. Girls with flushed cheeks walk through my neighbourhood on their way to dinner; parallel universe projections in pretty dresses. Sounds weird, and feels it a bit too, I suppose.”

Lorde is currently busy with a slew of foreign festivals until the end of the year, before a collection of tour dates across New Zealand and Australia in March 2023.
