Lorde goes topless as she doubles down on her naked ambition after crotch-baring album art divides fans

Importance Score: 40 / 100 🔵

Lorde is distinctly embracing her unbridled aspirations, inciting excitement among followers with her striking new album artwork and a set of revealing photographs that left little to the imagination.

The 28-year-old New Zealand artist astonished fans when she debuted the cover for her forthcoming album, “Virgin.” The artwork boasts an X-ray, seemingly highlighting her pelvic region, exposing her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper. 

Additionally, a T-shaped object in the image, apparently an intrauterine device, ignited conjecture that its inclusion served as a daring political statement.

New Album and Cover Art Reveal

On her official website, Lorde disclosed that the album was “100% written in blood” and will officially launch on June 27.

What Lorde Shared

The forthcoming album’s “color” is evident. Like bathwater, windows, ice, spit. Utter transparency. The lyrics are simple and unadorned. The sounds remain consistent where possible.

I was attempting to see myself, completely. I aimed to craft a document reflecting my femininity: raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, and masculine…

I take pride in and am apprehensive about this album. There is no hiding place. I believe exuding the deepest aspects of ourselves through music is what liberates us.

 

Lorde said about the album – “full transparency.”

 

Another praised her as a ‘birth control ambassador’ for showcasing her contraceptive choice.

Previous Release and Career Highlights

Following a four-year hiatus from publishing new songs, Lorde released “What Was That,” her latest track.

Released on April 25, the song also includes an accompanying music video, which was partially shot during Lorde’s bike ride to Washington Square Park preceding her live performance of the tune.

“What Was That” marks Lorde’s first significant release in nearly four years, succeeding the 2021 album “Solar Power.”

Her renowned 2013 single “Royals” reached the top spot on the charts in the United States and was certified 14 times platinum.

Accolades and Impact

As one of New Zealand’s best-selling artists of all time, Lorde continues to influence the music industry with her bold artistic choices and honest lyrics.
