I’ve always struggled to enjoy Lorde’s music because I think the lyrics that make it special are usually secondary to me in music. However something about this album – maybe the very good marketing – has me giving it more time than I would normally. Doesn’t hurt that I organically came to the lead single “What Was That” and genuinely wanted to listen to it on repeat for several days. Like a Trojan horse, this had me listening to the lyrics more deeply as Lorde goes through this “really strange time” in their life. Some very heartfelt expressions of being between worlds.
