Lorde wipes her social media clean and shares a cryptic TikTok, fuelling speculation around her long-awaited fourth album after four years of musical silence.
Lorde sparked excitement among her fans by deleting all content from her Instagram and official website, a move that often signals a new creative era. Simultaneously, she posted a mysterious TikTok showing her walking through New York City, singing what appears to be a new lyric: “Since I was 17, I gave you everything… now we wake from a dream, what was that?”
The New Zealand singer, known for hits like ‘Royals‘ and ‘Solar Power‘, has yet to share concrete details about the upcoming project, though she has confirmed it will be her fourth studio album. Since her last release in 2021, fans have eagerly awaited fresh material.
In past interviews, Lorde has explained that her creative process is slow and deliberate. “I do a lot of research and write a lot before I even start composing music,” she shared in 2023. “It’s taken time, but I’m excited about what’s coming.” Interestingly, all her albums have followed a four-year release cycle. Despite her efforts to move faster, she admits each work finds its own pace. Her latest digital move suggests a new era is on the horizon.
