Lorde - Solar Power, Lp

Some lorde fans were a little irritated by 'solar power', the lead single from her comeback album of the same name, primarily because it sounded far more influenced by cheery '90s indie-pop and summery blue-eyed soul than her moodier early work. She's carried that over into album, which arrives as a boxed high-res download with tons of additional content poster, postcards, booklet and so on . The singer-songwriter's first set in for years is full of gently warming fare, from the opaque, dewy-eyed folk of 'stoned in the nail station', to the early 2000s r&b-pop-goes-summer soul flex of recent single 'mood ring'. There's no glum moodiness here, just gently positive music to raise your mood in these most testing of times. 1. The path 3:39 2. Solar power 3:13 3. California 3:12 4.
