Lorde is back with a new song off her new album, Solar Power, which is being released this Friday, August 20th via Republic Records. The track is entitled “Mood Ring,” and this one also was written and produced by Lorde and Jack Antonoff along with also featuring background vocals from Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo.
“Mood Ring” is being released with a visual co-directed by Lorde herself plus Joel Kefali. Check out the new Lorde music video above.
Lorde says of the song via a press release:
This is a song I am very excited about, it’s so much fun to me. Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into 60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album. One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness. Things like eating a macro-biotic vegan diet or burning sage, keeping crystals, reading tarot cards or your horoscope. These were all things that they were dabbling in back then, and that me and my girlfriends are dabbling in today. I was like “I think there’s a pop song in here”. So this is kind of my extremely satirical look at all of those vibes.
