\"Solar Power\" officially marks the beginning of Lorde's comeback, as it's the first music drop she's made since 2017's \"Melodrama.\"

In a newsletter to fans, she also confirmed her upcoming third studio album, also titled \"Solar Power.\"

\"The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors,\" Lorde wrote in her newsletter. \"In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.\"

\"I want this album to be your summer companion, the one you pump on the drive to the beach,\" she added. \"The one that lingers on your skin like a tan as the months get cooler again.\"

A release date for the album \"Solar Power\" has not yet been announced.
