Lorde continues to deliver new music.

This time around, the ‘Green Light’ singer has shared an EP called ‘Te Ao Mārama.’

The set consists of five new songs from her recently released ‘Solar Power’ album. However, there is a twist. The tracks are sung in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand.

In a statement about the project, she said:

“Many things revealed themselves slowly to me while I was making this album, but the main realisation by far was that much of my value system around caring for and listening to the natural world comes from traditional Māori principles.”

All proceeds from the project will go to charities.
