Last year Lorde revealed that she had been working with ‘Melodrama’ producer Jack Antonoff between Los Angeles and Auckland prior to the coronavirus crisis.

“Jack and I FaceTimed for over an hour this morning going over everything. But it’ll take a while longer,” she said.

“The work is so fucking good, my friend,” she said of her new album. “I am truly jazzed for you to hear it.”

Lorde also recently revealed that she decided on the title of her upcoming third album while on a recent trip to Antarctica.







It came as she announced plans to release a new 100-page photo book which documents her trip to the continent, undertaken in 2019.

Lorde also teased the release of new music throughout 2020, most recently promising that she would give her fans “something in return” in 2021 in exchange for voting in the New Zealand election – which saw Jacinda Ardern secure a second term as Prime Minister.

The singer’s most recent public performance came in March, when she took on Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘performing a duet with Marlon Williams.
