Lorde Leads her Disciples to the Beach in Extremely Summery New Video, ‘Solar Power’
Written by Site Hub on June 11, 2021
After four years, Lorde has finally released new music along with a music video she teased on her Instagram story.
The new single, “Solar Power” is a clear summer hit.
Variety reported:
“The cheekiest lyric has her declaring: ‘Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches / Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets / I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus.’ And indeed, the video, directed by Joel Kefali and Ella Yelich-O’Connor, posits Lorde almost as the leader of a happy-go-lucky, hippie solstice cult — almost a benign version of ‘Midsommar’ — in which none of her followers seem to mind that they’re stuck wearing muted pastels while she gets to blossom in a bold yellow two-piece. (Being Jesus has its privileges!)”
