Lorde has sparked excitement among fans as speculation continues to build around the anticipated release of her fourth studio album. The New Zealand singer-songwriter, known for her unique sound and lyrical depth, has provided several hints regarding new music, including a brief clip shared on TikTok and an update on Instagram.
In July, Lorde teased her entry on to TikTok by uploading a short clip of a song. It was her very first tweet on the bird site! That seconds-long clip was enough to have her millions of followers buzzing with excitement and speculation about what could come next. She posted an update on Instagram after the TikTok went viral. In her Instagram announcement, she said, “stay tuned,” indicating that much more is coming.
July also turned out to be an important month for Lorde as she made big moves to return to the music scene. She scrubbed her official website and Instagram account clear. Fans are understandably abuzz with speculation that she’s preparing for a similar clean slate with new music. This move aligns with the growing belief that her fourth studio album has been in the works since early July.
Producer Jim-E Stack increased the anticipation with his recent production work on the two Lorde tracks. He posted a beautiful shot of her deeply focused on her laptop. His post was meant to imply that the two artists are collaborating in earnest. Now fans are buzzing with excitement, counting down the days until Lorde’s return to music.
As we reported back in July, Billboard picked up on Lorde’s Ellen Instagram message. They indicated how much they’ve enjoyed her updates as she prepares to reenter the world and her original audience productively. With little else to go off of, the hype surrounding her eventual debut LP only intensifies.
Given Lorde’s past triumphs and her experimental edge, anticipation among Lorde’s diehard followers was palpable. They are looking forward to see how this new creation will grow and shift! Her recent social media move has everybody abuzz with excitement. Working with established powerhouses like Luke Laird and Jessie Jo Dillon has her poised for a stellar return!
