The tour announcement arrives alongside growing excitement for Virgin, Lorde’s first studio album since 2021’s Solar Power. The project was teased with the release of the emotionally urgent single What Was That, co-produced by Lorde, Jim-E Stack, and Dan Nigro. Early reactions have praised the track’s raw vulnerability and sonic depth, signaling a bold new chapter for the artist. The album promises an intimate exploration of themes like identity, inner transformation, and emotional clarity.
