The latest from\u00a0Solar Power<\/em> arrives with a new music video that the musician co-directed with Joel Kefali.<\/h2>\n

Lorde\u00a0is back with a new song. \u201cMood Ring,\u201d the latest single from her new album\u00a0Solar Power<\/em>, arrives with a new video co-directed by Lorde and\u00a0Joel Kefali<\/a>. The new track follows her previously released singles \u201cStoned at the Nail Salon\u201d and \u201cSolar Power.\u201d As was the case with those singles, \u201cMood Ring\u201d was written and produced by Lorde and Jack Antonoff and also features background vocals from Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo. Watch the video, featuring a blonde Lorde, below.<\/p>\n

Lorde shared the following statement on \u201cMood Ring\u201d:<\/p>\n

‘This is a song I am very excited about, it\u2019s so much fun to me. Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into \u201960s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album. One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness. Things like eating a macro-biotic vegan diet or burning sage, keeping crystals, reading tarot cards or your horoscope. These were all things that they were dabbling in back then, and that me and my girlfriends are dabbling in today. I was like \u201cI think there\u2019s a pop song in here.\u201d So this is kind of my extremely satirical look at all of those vibes.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joel Kefali previously co-directed the \u201cSolar Power\u201d music video with Lorde. He also directed the visuals for\u00a0Pure Heroine<\/em>\u2019s \u201cRoyals\u201d and \u201cTennis Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solar Power<\/em>\u00a0is Lorde\u2019s third studio album\u2014the follow-up to 2017\u2019s\u00a0Melodrama<\/em>\u2014and it\u2019s out this Friday, August 20. The album\u2019s press cycle has included Lorde\u2019s rooftop performance on\u00a0The Late Show With Stephen Colbert<\/em>, some day drinking with\u00a0Seth Meyers, and an appearance on \u201cHot Ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
