September 3, 20213 yr not great, 2-31 so far :nocheer: I thought the album would have some legs tbh - hopefully it settles down over the next few weeks, for me it’s by far her best album.

September 3, 20213 yr not great, 2-31 so far I expected a big fall but not this big... But well, if Lorde doesn't care about album sales, why should we? :mellow:
September 3, 20213 yr It's really not even worth paying attention to the album chart beyond week 1 for most releases these days frankly.
September 9, 20213 yr Author Te Ao Mārama, an EP sung entirely in te reo Māori, is available now. I have some VERY EXCITING NEWS. News I’ve been waiting a really long time to share with you. It is my great pleasure to present Te Ao Mārama, a 5-song companion piece to Solar Power, sung entirely in te reo Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand. Many things revealed themselves slowly to me while I was making this album, but the main realisation by far was that much of my value system around caring for and listening to the natural world comes from traditional Māori principles. There’s a word for it in te reo: kaitiakitanga, meaning 'guardianship or caregiving for the sky, sea and land'. I’m not Māori, but all New Zealanders grow up with elements of this worldview. Te ao Māori and tikanga Māori are a big part of why people who aren’t from here intuit our country to be kind of 'magical', I think. I know I’m someone who represents New Zealand globally in a way, and in making an album about where I’m from, it was important to me to be able to say: this makes us who we are down here. It’s also just a crazy beautiful language— I loved singing in it. Even if you don’t understand te reo, I think you’ll get a kick out of how elegant my words sound in it. Hana’s translations for Te Ara Tika / The Path and Hine-i-te-Awatea / Oceanic Feeling in particular take my g-d breath away.
November 3, 20213 yr Music video for 'Fallen Fruit' (yay for it getting one, this has firmly established itself as my favourite song from this era now): 3ae1f3F9B_A Also the bonus tracks from the deluxe edition are being released on streaming services on Friday apparently! (Glad that is actually happening, I assumed it would eventually but then I was reminded of the fact that 'No Better' is to this day still not on Spotify :angry: I haven't listened to the 'Solar Power' bonus tracks yet as I didn't want to rely on a randomer uploading them to YouTube although I probably would have done that eventually if they looked like they were never going to be given a proper digital release). That Māori EP was kind of cute although I haven't gone back to any of those versions beyond the one listen oops (I think the 'Solar Power' and 'Oceanic Feeling' ones were the best done iirc, in particular the chanting in the outro of 'Solar Power' actually sounds a lot better in the Māori version)
November 3, 20213 yr oh nice that she's not giving up on the album the bonus tracks are indeed worth listening and could easily have been on the album proper
April 23, 20223 yr She's been continuing to slowly crank out music videos from this era, apparently still another 2 of them to come. Really enjoyed the music video for 'Secrets From A Girl (Who's Seen It All)' with her bringing back the aesthetics from each of the previous eras. bRoVXGRm5-Q She also did a video for 'Leader Of A New Regime' for some reason yuXI4XcGdns
May 11, 20223 yr Listening to this album in full for the first time in months and I really cannot think of a more disappointing project — ever? I honestly don't know if this is hyperbole or not either. I'm not sure how Jack went from 'Melodrama', 'Norman f***ing Rockwell', 'Masseduction' — albums packed with personality and interesting production flourishes (even NFR) to this. It's really lacking in joy, something it supposedly wants to emit. Edited May 11, 20223 yr by blacksquare
May 11, 20223 yr She should've just made a cute small EP with the best tracks... 1. Solar Power 2. Mood Ring 3. Fallen Fruit 4. Secrets From A Girl 5. Stoned At The Nail Salon 6. The Path
