Prior to her new album Solar Power, which will be released on August 20, Lorde has teased the arrival of a new song “Mood Ring”.
The “Royals” singer revealed a release date of August 17 for the song via a post on her website. A music video that is co-directed by Lorde with Joel Kefali is also set to debut on August 17.
This will be the third single Lorde has released from her upcoming third album and it follows the title track, “Solar Power” and “Stones at the Nail Salon”. Both tracks have had many live performances on late-night shows.
Lorde recently spoke about keeping the personal nature of her music more secretive during an appearance on YouTube’s Hot Ones.
“As I get older, I find myself saying, ‘No actually I’m not gonna explain that song’,” she told host Sean Evans. “Not because I necessarily need it left to interpretation, but because it’s about something that’s very precious to me.”
She’s set to tour next year, starting in New Zealand before heading to Australia, North America, and Europe.
