]]>Lorde teased the release of Virgin by sharing its cryptic album cover and a tracklist that includes a total of 11 songs. She’s yet to reveal the track titles, but they were produced by her and Jim-E Stack, along with Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, Dan Nigro, and Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes.
Lorde sent out a letter to fans where she explained what her new album is all about, adding its “language is plain and unsentimental.”
“I was trying to see myself, all the way through. I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity: raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc. I’m proud and scared of this album. There’s nowhere to hide. I believe that putting the deepest parts of ourselves to music is what sets us free,” she wrote.
Lorde officially announced the release of Virgin shortly after dropping its lead single “What Was That” back on Friday. Its synth-pop vibe drew comparisons to her 2017 album Melodrama and marked a departure from the indie folk sound she embraced on her latest album Solar Power.

“Growing up as a dancer was such a natural transition into that sound. I was interested in how that music made you feel, and how it made your body move. I think music is mind control – it opens up this portal of energy,” she told Elle.

]]>According to the band’s official statement, their latest album borrows its name from the term “pink elephant”, which refers to the paradoxical effect where the effort to suppress a thought leads to it being impossible to avoid.
“When experienced in its entirety, Pink Elephant invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen,” reads Arcade Fire’s press release.
They described the genre of their new record as “cinematic mystical punk” and confirmed it will feature 10 brand-new tracks. “Year of the Snake” was released as the lead single, while the tracklist also includes such titles as “Open Your Heart or Die Trying”, “Beyond Salvation”, and “Alien Nation”.

Cyrus also told Harper’s BAZAAR she wanted every song on Something Beautiful to have healing properties.
“The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast,” explained Cyrus.

“The more I get to know myself, the more I try to love myself. I’ve had a time in my life where I didn’t – I had no clue how to do that. The time where I was feeling clueless. The fact that I’ve moved on from that phase and being so committed to myself, I’m very proud,” she told Billboard.
