Lorde is officially back with more music. The “Solar Power” singer revealed exciting surprises in a newsletter to fans.
Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, better known to the world as Lorde, has come bearing gifts for the month of November. The talented singer, who turns 25 on November 7, shared a special surprise with fans ahead of her milestone birthday.

Fans’ first of many treats is the “Fallen Fruit” music video. The song appears as Track 5 on her third studio album, Solar Power. The record was released in August and was met with critical acclaim. Her era began when she released the music video to “Solar Power,” and followed up with “Mood Ring.”
“Fallen Fruit” follows Lorde through the same beach that fans saw her frolicking at when she was in the “Solar Power” visual. She writes in the newsletter, “In the “Solar Power” music video, you were introduced to the island as a lush paradise — glistening water, blue skies, not a grain of sand out of place…” Cut to: humans doing as they do, getting greedy, treating the land with disrespect and stripping it of its beauty.” She follows up with an example: “The gardens that were once lush and fruitful are now on fire.” The music video is an alarming reminder that it is our responsibility to take care of this beautiful planet because we as humans are unable to have another place to start over again.

The second treat for fans is the announcement of a deluxe version of Solar Power, out on streaming services Friday, November 5. Lorde calls the two tracks “Helen Of Troy” and “Hold No Grudge” the “black sheep.” The first track abbreviated to “HOT,” is about “her talking trash to make Jack (Antonoff) laugh.” She also says how she wrote the song “very quickly” and it is mostly “ad-libbed.”
HNG, on the other hand, is a more serious track. She reveals that HNG is a “composite portrait of when relationships turn sour, being trapped in the ice but remembering the warmth.” While complete opposite songs, fans are certainly ready for more Lorde music.
