Tour Announcement from Lorde
In a heartfelt email to her fans, Lorde expressed her excitement about the upcoming tour, stating:
“I am going on tour in support of my new album, Virgin. Every show I play is a collaboration between you and me. We meet in a room and we make music together, our bodies and the machines in search of something bigger together. 12 years of meeting up and making sound that’s just for us. Since last time I’ve been stripping away unnecessary layers, finding us more room to move. I think that Ultrasound could be our masterpiece. Very proud and excited to be bringing my most talented friends in support.”
Album Details
“Virgin,” scheduled for release on June 27 via Republic Records, promises to be a significant addition to Lorde’s discography. The album features contributions from notable collaborators such as Daniel Nigro, Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged from Inc. No World, Buddy Ross, and Devonté Hynes of Blood Orange. The lead single, “What Was That,” was released last month, with Lorde describing the album as a reflection of her femininity in its raw, primal, and elegant forms.
