Lorde lifted the lid on a whole lot of new moments ago.

For, after teasing an incoming announcement, the eclectic songbird has officially announced her album ‘Solar Polar’ and a like-titled 2022 world tour.

Full story below…

Named after her recently released comeback single of the same name, the LP will arrive on August 20. 

Speaking on the project (which is exec produced by Jack Antonoff), the 24-year-old said in a statement:

“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 learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.” 

It’ll be supported by a global trek, which kicks off in her home country of New Zealand in February 2022 and makes major stops across Europe and the United States. She stresses that it’ll skew intimate and play to “theatres and green fields rather than arenas.”

The news was timed to coincide with the only solar eclipse of the year.
