In an interview with Stuff at the Aotearoa Music Awards in May, the New Zealand-born singer hinted at the prospect of returning home for shows. “Could you imagine if I didn’t? That would be bad, that would be bad,” she said. “Watch this space.”
Co-produced by Lorde alongside Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro, Virgin reflects a bold sonic shift. “It balances maximalist production with her signature lyrical intimacy,” reads a press statement, “capturing the phosphorescence that has always defined her artistry.”
