Lorde to release first new material in four years

Just in time for easter, Lorde has returned. The New Zealand pop star's first new material in four years, a single titled "What Was That," will be "out soon," she announced on social media.

This comes on the heels of Lorde setting up a text-based newsletter through the service Community, where she's spent the last week teasing new music. "This is the last moment it will just be you and me... everything is about to change," she said in a voice memo sent out Monday night. A snippet of "What Was That" was shared via TikTok last week, hinting towards a synthy return to form for the artist.

Lorde's last album, 2021's Solar Power released to mixed reviews, so this upcoming record will likely be very consequential for her musical legacy.
