Lorde is back—and she’s got fire in her veins.
Co-produced alongside Jim-E Stack, Virgin sees the New Zealand icon channeling the pulse and rawness that made Pure Heroine and Melodrama generational touchstones. But this isn’t nostalgia—it’s evolution. Across the album, Lorde weaves hypnotic beats with intimate, unsparing lyricism, forging a sound both urgent and gorgeously self-possessed.
 
She’s joined by a powerhouse roster of collaborators: Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange), Dan Nigro, Fabiana Palladino, Buddy Ross, and Andrew Aged, each adding subtle shades to her sonic palette. The result is a record that glitters with neon synths one moment and bares its soul the next—a dynamic push-pull of vulnerability and defiance.
Lead single ‘What Was That’ already shot to #1 on the US Spotify chart, a tantalising hint that Lorde’s magnetic storytelling and knack for hooks remain utterly undimmed.
Virgin isn’t just a return—it’s a reawakening. Lorde stands as a singular voice in modern pop, and this album proves she’s still the artist the world can’t stop orbiting.
 
Essential for fans of: sleek beats, lyrical confessionals, and pop that cuts deeper than the charts.
