It’s been over two years since Lorde has dropped new music, but today she has graced us peasants with the new single “Green Light” and let’s just say it’s like a shot of tequila straight to the soul.
In its release, 20-year-old Yelich-O’Connor, has earned herself another badge for her pop star sash – the break-up song. In 2013, Billboard reported that she was the first female solo artist to top Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Songs chart in more than 17 years. “And it’s not something that I really am used to writing about …”
“Green Light” is available for streaming on YouTube and Lorde’s website. “I think it can kind of fuck with you if you’re a kid”. “And I just dived back off the grid and it was wonderful”. That’s already much to have achieved by the age of 16, so it’s understand able that the singer would need to take time away from the limelight to process everything that has happened in her life. “I hear sounds in my mind/ Brand-new sounds in my mind”, goes the pre-chorus, as the piano gets paired with a throbbing beat. “My relationship with the city and the country is so strong and I know that I’m gonna live there for a long time”.

Check out Lorde’s new track below. That’s her tonight, and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. “Green Light” pulls off a trick similar to “Royals” with the way it feels at once in conversation and a little apart from everything else on the radio right now - immediate but still forward-thinking. The poetic (and perhaps, semi autobiographical) lyrics and hypnotic vocals fans have come to love remain.
