Happy Summer Solstice From Lorde

Lorde celebrated the start of the summer season with another music video from her third studio album, Solar Power, released in August 2021. Her sixth music video from the Solar Power era shows the New Zealand singer frolicking on the beach, a common thread seen in previous singles “Solar Power” and “Fallen Fruit.” 

“The Path” is the opening track to Solar Power. To mark the Summer Solstice, Lorde sent an email out to her fans, updating them on what she has been up to, all while embarking on her sold-out tour. She writes, “This video is the first chapter in the mystical Solar Power story, a prequel to the title video. You see my character joining her friends and family on the island where they’ve chosen to start life anew, arriving in her trademark suit and quickly being transformed by nature’s strange magic. I’m so proud of my buds for learning the dance in this one. Hope you like it.”

The “Fallen Fruit” singer also took the time to reflect on her latest record. Lorde continues in her email, “It took people a while to get the album — I still get emails every day from people who are just coming around to it now! — and that response was really confounding and at times painful to sit with at first. I learnt a ton about myself and how I’m perceived by making and releasing this album, and I feel significantly more connected and alive in my art practice and life than pretty much ever before.”

Celebrate the start of summer by soaking up some sun and enjoying the latest Solar Power visual. Lorde’s record is available to stream on all major music platforms.
