New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY Award-winning multiplatinum artist LORDE has released new song "Stoned at the Nail Salon". The song is the second track from Lorde's highly anticipated third studio album, Solar Power, which will be released via Republic Records on August 20th. The album includes 12 tracks and is produced by Jack Antonoff who she collaborated with on her chart-topping last album, Melodrama.
Of the song
Lorde says, "This song is sort of a rumination on getting older, settling into domesticity, and questioning if you've made the right decisions. I think lots of people start asking those questions of themselves around my age, and it was super comforting to me writing them down, hoping they'd resonate with others too. I used this song as a dumping ground for so many thoughts..."
Lorde will perform the television debut of "Stoned at the Nail Salon" on Late Night with Seth Meyers tonight, July 21, 2021, when she visits Seth for a full show takeover. The artist will chat, perform and hit the bar for a very special episode of Seth's signature "
Day Drinking" segment.
Of the album
Lorde says, "The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I'm outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I've learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through."
To honor the natural world the artist is presenting the album in a first-of-its kind, discless format. An eco-conscious
Music Box will be available for purchase as an alternative to a CD. This innovative offering will contain extra visual content, handwritten notes, exclusive photos, and a download card. The card will give purchasers a high-quality download of the music, two exclusive bonus tracks, and access to some special surprises along the way.
When talking about the concept
Lorde says, "I decided early on in the process of making this album that I also wanted to create an environmentally kind, forward-thinking alternative to the CD. I wanted this
Music Box product to be similar in size, shape and price to a CD, to live alongside it in a retail environment, but be something which stands apart and that's committed to the evolving nature of a modern album."
Earlier this summer,
Lorde announced her 2022 World tour dates. The sold-out 40+ show tour, promoted by AEG Presents in the US and Canada, is her first North American tour since 2018 and kicks off in North
America in Nashville on April 3 at the Opry House before concluding at the
