100% - this album is definitely going to dig into so many of the clues and hints in the title track. I'm pretty sure it's going to be about global warming and how cult-like behaviour and 'hive mentality' is ruining society.
Not gonna lie, maybe it’s just because I’m only into her extremely casually, but considering that she’s one of the very few pop girls I respect as an artist and the fact that even though it’s not my kind of music, I listened to Melodrama one day because I was bored and can say that it’s a very well made release, I thought this song was disappointing, bland as fuck and not worth the wait that everyone had at all, I get that most pop fans aren’t the type of entitled, hard to please motherf-kers that us rock, rap, and metal fans are and you all tend to have that “it’s the music they choose to make, so I’ll support them” mentality rather than the jaded fanboy mentality that we tend to have when our favorite artist releases an inferior product, But y’all should demand more
all lorde leads are growers, I hated royals first and it became one of my all time fav songs, green light in first listen was a shallow comeback from iconic pure heroine era and it crows on me everytime i listen to it
i think that’s her signature sound. her sound always feels odd on first listen. in pure heroine, there’s this emptiness and space felt from the synths like it’s lacking a little production but eventually, it just felt right and addicting. in melodrama, there’s this unusual structure of songs. just like how that piano build up of green light came out of nowhere. i just can’t wait what’s gonna happen with solar power :)
No i feel like she changes her sound on every album for a reason. She has synesthesia and that helps with her creativity. She also travels the world a lot which inspires her music as well.
Pure Herione was an incredible album. It was original but not odd. It’s a gem and already a classic. Melodrama was odd though, also less successful. Let’s see how Solar Power will be. I haven’t listened to the full album yet.
@@Churros1616 i also feel like everytime she makes an album like melodrama had a distinct and specific vibe to it that you could vividly experience through your ears for example the background effects or the strings and guitars all of the above made you feel like you were experiencing being overwhelmed with sadness and trying to be happy.
Pure heroine is the best album I’ve ever heard. The production is so original and captivating. so it’s obviously my fav Lorde album by far. Melodrama felt overproduce and followed the electronic pop trend at that time, still in some ways it was unique. This new single has no originality to it, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Lorde is same age as me, I can't believe how much her music is ''like me''. When I was younger I completely identified myslef in ''Pure Heroine'', and then when first heartbreaks came and first loves, and maybe when I did care to much about being wanted ''Melodrama'' was released and now... she came with ''Solar Power'', the song is just about being free, and the things she wrote about the album (about her) I see myself in it. There are many artist that I love, and tbh Lorde music isn't that often played in my headphones but it is the music that grows with me as she does.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! she said stop being sad, it's over and wow. I'm in that transitionary period and this just pushed me forward. I'm going to be kinder to myself and I know that's what this album will be about and I can't wait for it!
I hope I reach that carefree nature when I’m in my mid 20s. Currently I’m the same age as lorde when she released melodrama and I completely relate to the vulnerability and desire to find a place in this world that is so elegantly expressed in that album.
According to Lorde, “this album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feeings I have when I’m outdoors. In time of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out and tune in. This is what came through.” Holy shit this album is going to be amazing
@Withro Anime Edits the first thing i thought when i read this comment ! everyone hated that album sm for some reason but its one of my fav ones from her personally
While I do agree that it’s her weakest lead it’s still a really good song. I feel like this album is going to be less commercial in a lot of aspects so I’m excited.
@@nicolea8205 Ugly people aren't allowed summers, they must remain in their basements until winter comes once again so there is no direct sunlight around to illuminate our ugly face🥺
first listen i thought it was okay, but the more i listen to it, the more i enjoy it. i cant help but smile and feel happy while listening to the song. it feels like she did indeed “walk away into the sun” and this was the result of that. its an amazing project and i absolutely love it. also love the way she isnt going back on social media and instead sends emails to her fans, reinforcing her message in this song
i think this is a song that needs to grow on people, given lorde's previous works and how different it is from them, on first listen you might think that it's okay or just not enjoy it at all but maybe with a few more listens that opinion might change. personally, i was so-so at first but it grew a little on me. good for lorde for being happy
I think the song was kinda underwhelming for a lot of people because it was totally different from what we expected it to be. But it really started to grow on me the more I listend to it. But still I can’t help feeling like it’s a weak song for a single and a reintroduction. It really makes me think about if this is just a bad choice for a single or if it’s just the most commercially friendly song they made and therefore had no other choice to use it as a single. Ether way I’m excited for more!
I remember people saying the same thing about green light when it first released. A lot of people were displeased with it when they first heard it because it's not what lorde has given them previously.
@@dawnguinto nah the difference about green light is that you later grew to like it, green light was the best single choice for obvious reasons, solar power not so much.
The first time I listened to the song I was like... "yeah it's a no for me." but it's a grower. it's not me favorite lorde song but it is good, the visuals and the song kinda remind me of watermelon sugar by Harry Styles. I just hope the album has a little bit more production than the lead single.
Lorde has never been a "commercial" artist,but she has a loyal fanbase and great music will stand the test of time. I think her career will last longer than the run of the mill, attractive pop star.
The song is a grower and im glad that its more upbeat because yall really expected another melodrama u cant recycle ur best work and call it a day. Besides each album kinda reminds me of the seasons fall(pure heroine), winter(melodrama), summer(solar power). Anyways thank u for reading dis k bye
I’m happy that Lorde is back with a new album, and is making music again after her hiatus. I hope that the album and the songs on it become hits for her, even though many of the songs just don’t do it for me like her older tracks did. For instance, the song Solar Power in particular for me when I listening to it was so-so.
Yeah her lyrics are great as always, but I can’t help but feel like people are simply excited she’s back. I’m a music critic, so I have to listen to it over and over and over and over, and I have never heard a better produced worse song. You know what my problem w her is? She always has this weird pretentious thing that comes through in all her music, to me. Same thing as when she danced without singing at the VMAs and said ppl didn’t like it “because they weren’t used to seeing unbridled joy”. Like no, it was because you aren’t a dancer and we were offended that you thought you were so special that we’d be happy watching you run around. As if we obsess over HER and not just because of her music. I don’t mean that rudely, she’s great, I just mean....... I don’t wanna see Leo DiCaprio sing, and I don’t want to see Lorde dance. Same with this song... it’s so pretentious in its sound. Like, it’s simply not enjoyable to listen to. I don’t know if I’m making sense but obviously I need to talk about the song itself when I write so I have to get this out of my system. I just think it says a lot that she chose this song as the first single.... Pretentiousness pouring off the screen. Acting like a hippie in her $2000 silk dress, you know?
@@speeeee35 this is definitely what I get from her and I am not a career or professional music critic. It's the first time I am seeing someone who expresses what I get from Lorde.
@@speeeee35 just for context, she was sick during that time that she cannot sing that's why she danced because for some reason her label is pushing her to promote homemade dynamite depsite being sick. It's the fans that probably gave you the unbridled joy stuff but her dancing is not for pretentious purposes. she was simply sick. Though yeah she got that air on her. But for me i think, sure be proud of yourself, but make sure what you produce is the same level of what you're saying and oddly enough, she does deliver. Talking about her albums not the lead singles
I actually love it. Lorde and I are close in age so when she released Royals & Pure Heroine, the angst and unhappiness is something I could relate to as a teenager. Now that I'm older, the depressive songs aren't what I gravitate towards anymore (though I do listen to some out of nostalgia). I like seeing her happy and it shows in the music. It's like the same with Billie. You can tell her new album will be different from her past 2 projects and she's happier. At the end of the day, if they're growing and making the music they love, it will show.
At first i was a bit underwhelmed but it grew on me. I honestly love the vibes of the song. My fav part is the outro!!! The song overall was pretty and im gonna add it to my summer playlist. 'm looking forward to see more from her, and im so happy she's back. she also looks so happy and im proud of her. (Oh also speaking of new music, Marina dropped her latest album yesterday!!! its honestly so good and she talks about such important topics. i highly recommend listening to it tbh!!)
This is definitely a masterpiece album. I can’t believe people slept on it. I hope it grows years later and people can appreciate what it is. …also the mispronunciation of “feral” and “Phoebe” 😂 that put a smile on my face
I will love anything and everything Lorde puts out, and this song is no exception. I really feel like those twitter people who were saying that they were waiting until Lorde released L3 to shape their early 20 around what she sings about lol!!
while hearing it for the first time I was like it's cute but not great but I found myself repeating it through out the whole day. It's so good tbh, it's just not a love from the first listen but it will grow so fast.
A young, female, multi-platinum artist daring to go by her own schedule and stay mostly away from the public eye shouldn't be groundbreaking, but in the year 2021, it is.
Although I love minimalist production, I also really enjoy creative, experimental production and I really hope that’s not something she lets go of as that’s been something I’ve loved in her past songs. I’m gonna say something I hope doesn’t come off the wrong way. I love a Jack Antonoff production, especially when he plays with interesting production elements. But lately it feels like many of his works have been really really stripped down which is great for emotional aspects of the songs but a little boring if done for the whole album.
i can't help but notice the fact that the MV reminds me of the movie Midsommar. and for anyone watched the movie, this single feels like the first part of it. where it gets really playful, joyful but underneath lies a more intense story. and i think maybe that's what lorde is doing
I LOOOVEE IT It was Basically the answer to the whole Melodrama esp the songs liability and Perfect Places. It also is the sequel/answer to The Perfect Places. Singing: Forget all of the tears that you've cried It's over (Over, over, over) It's a new state of mind Are you coming, my baby? Basically telling us that the Melodrama(era) is over and that she found her Perfect Place, her Happiness. And not @ yall forgetting how the GP TRASHED greenlight. A lot of her lead singles are era/theme/sound/visual welcomes to her album. She WILL deliver and she IS delievering I can't with for another masterpiece🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love Lorde! She’s one of my favorites ever and this song in classic Lorde style is different than anything out right now but it’s so refreshing rather than “experimental”.
This song was like.. At first it was OK type but after hearing again and again.. OMG.. It became so addictive.. I can't stop listening now... But personally green light is my fav single of lorde too.. Still solar power was such a bop
The truly incredible thing about lorde is that she is simply authentic, her songs are not necessarily mainstream, her lyrics are done so perfectly & each album so far is so different from the previous one, some of her songs grow on you, but once they do, you find it weird how an incredible song took a lot of time to grow on you
I’ve heard two of her songs besides this song but I love this the best. I am the type of person that likes chill and “freedom” types of music. So this was definitely a good effort in my opinion. Can’t wait for the album. Have a feeling I’ll fall in love with the rest
This is one of my favorite songs by Lorde already. It’s amazing to see how she reinvented her style as an artist and evolved. Cannot wait to see what the album will sound like 🤩
i feel like it's really difficult to name a song that is happy and isn't corny or generic, but solar power easily breaks the mold. i'll vibe to it in summer AND winter.
solar power reminded me of marina’s “man’s world” just a carefree single from the album. hopefully solar power (the album) builds up as the singles are released :)
The song is genius, as per usual. I wake up singing the hook. It’s fun to sing because it’s faultless in its potential to be harmonious. It’s such a fun song and really differentiates her for OR who is slightly accused of stealing Lordes vibe. I remember the first time I heard ‘déjà vu’ I couldn’t get over the irony because it sounded like a Lorde song: down to every affliction. However, I think Lorde broke away from even her own sound and vibe because she knew about her ops. I love it, I think it is transformative especially coming from NZ ! REPRESENT!!
The music industry is doing quite well this year! I may not like a lot, but Demi Lovato, Dodie, Twenty One Pilots, and OneRepublic are all doing their part. God I love them and I love what I'm seeing. Looking forward to Rihanna dropping the ninth album and Halsey revealing whatever she's planning (dear OC character: thank you for making me love Halsey). Honest, here's a video suggestion for ya: Dev. Devin Tailes, more commonly known as just Dev, is a singer and songwriter known for her collab with The Far East Movement and The Cataracs, Like a G6. She is also known for her moderately-successful solo song In the Dark (with a BOMB ASS TRACK and mv). Since her departure from work with The Cataracs, she's gone really quiet, yet still releases music and even has a daughter now! I'd love if you would talk about Dev, how underrated she is, and where she went off to following Like a G6 and her first album, The Night the Sun Came Up.
Same. I do think the melody is catchy, but I feel like the production had a chance to go somewhere in the second verse at least, but it didn't. Also the songwriting 💀 I hope her songwriting style is more like melodrama / pure heroine on the other tracks on solar power, because this wasn't it for me 😭
I was excited when this dropped and i’m not gonna lie when i listened to it the very first time i wasn’t a fan of it. I listened to it again and it grew on me and/or my ears gave in to the strange flow.
The first time I listened to it wasn't my favorite song but I kept listening to it and its definitely growing on me and I really love it and I know that album is going to be an amazing
I love the song. How people reacts to Solar Power reminds me of when Greenlight came out, alot of people don't like it. They even accused her of "selling out", but GL and Melodrama became one of her best matetial to date.
i personally really liked solar power. it definitely has a very different vibe to pure heroine and melodrama, but i don't think that's a bad thing. while i love the melancholy, nostalgia and moodiness of her previous songs, and identify highly with them, i would definitely like to see something more uplifting and happy. the themes of connecting with nature and sexual liberation are also some that i find really interesting, so i'm not dissappointed with the direction this is going, even though i can see why some people may be less into it, cause it's so different to her other work.
I love when artists do what they want to. She is didn't going by the book. 'Cause, she is the book. It looks like Billie and Lorde, known for their depressed style, will be happy and make us happy this summer.
I really liked it . Like of course it's not her best song, but that doesn't matter it made me happy and floaty and that what is important how does it make you feel.
People forget Lorde is an album artist, she’s not a single artist. Also, she never likes doing the same thing twice.
idk if she’s working with the boring and generic jack anotoff again then i think its just gonna be a happier melodrama, same production and all

100% - this album is definitely going to dig into so many of the clues and hints in the title track. I'm pretty sure it's going to be about global warming and how cult-like behaviour and 'hive mentality' is ruining society.

But for me i think, sure be proud of yourself, but make sure what you produce is the same level of what you're saying and oddly enough, she does deliver. Talking about her albums not the lead singles
I actually love it. Lorde and I are close in age so when she released Royals & Pure Heroine, the angst and unhappiness is something I could relate to as a teenager. Now that I'm older, the depressive songs aren't what I gravitate towards anymore (though I do listen to some out of nostalgia). I like seeing her happy and it shows in the music.
It's like the same with Billie. You can tell her new album will be different from her past 2 projects and she's happier.
At the end of the day, if they're growing and making the music they love, it will show.
Honestly happy to see this side of lorde
This song is everything I need right now as I pivot my life out of the covid year. We can be new, we are in charge of our happiness.
At first i was a bit underwhelmed but it grew on me. I honestly love the vibes of the song. My fav part is the outro!!! The song overall was pretty and im gonna add it to my summer playlist. 'm looking forward to see more from her, and im so happy she's back. she also looks so happy and im proud of her.
(Oh also speaking of new music, Marina dropped her latest album yesterday!!! its honestly so good and she talks about such important topics. i highly recommend listening to it tbh!!)
I loved solar power it growed a LOT on me!!!
Yes it’s a grower! it’s a cute summer song.
she’s GLOWING also i’m so excited because the way she described the album is exactly how i’ve been feeling these days. ilh
This is definitely a masterpiece album. I can’t believe people slept on it. I hope it grows years later and people can appreciate what it is.
…also the mispronunciation of “feral” and “Phoebe” 😂 that put a smile on my face
I will love anything and everything Lorde puts out, and this song is no exception. I really feel like those twitter people who were saying that they were waiting until Lorde released L3 to shape their early 20 around what she sings about lol!!
while hearing it for the first time I was like it's cute but not great but I found myself repeating it through out the whole day.
It's so good tbh, it's just not a love from the first listen but it will grow so fast.
Can you please talk about Marina’s ancient dream in a modern land? She’s one of the main alternative pop girlies
It was soooo gooooood
God that album is so solids, def a strong 8.5/10 for me so many good songs and I love the theatrics and boldness of it
He should also speak of Jessie Ware!
A young, female, multi-platinum artist daring to go by her own schedule and stay mostly away from the public eye shouldn't be groundbreaking, but in the year 2021, it is.
I can’t begin to verbalize how excited for this fucking album.
Although I love minimalist production, I also really enjoy creative, experimental production and I really hope that’s not something she lets go of as that’s been something I’ve loved in her past songs. I’m gonna say something I hope doesn’t come off the wrong way. I love a Jack Antonoff production, especially when he plays with interesting production elements. But lately it feels like many of his works have been really really stripped down which is great for emotional aspects of the songs but a little boring if done for the whole album.
jack sucks as a producer. he doesnt bring anything new to the music industry. just another case of white male privilege-.
It has such a good summer vibe and I find it really refreshing from her. I cant wait for the album. 😬
I like it a lot… your interpretation of going back to nature + disconnection of the virtual world meets my current state of mind:)
i can't help but notice the fact that the MV reminds me of the movie Midsommar. and for anyone watched the movie, this single feels like the first part of it. where it gets really playful, joyful but underneath lies a more intense story. and i think maybe that's what lorde is doing
I LOOOVEE IT
It was Basically the answer to the whole Melodrama esp the songs liability and Perfect Places.
It also is the sequel/answer to The Perfect Places.
Singing:
Forget all of the tears that you've cried
It's over (Over, over, over)
It's a new state of mind
Are you coming, my baby?
Basically telling us that the Melodrama(era) is over and that she found her Perfect Place, her Happiness.
And not @ yall forgetting how the GP TRASHED greenlight. A lot of her lead singles are era/theme/sound/visual welcomes to her album.
She WILL deliver and she IS delievering
I can't with for another masterpiece🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love Lorde! She’s one of my favorites ever and this song in classic Lorde style is different than anything out right now but it’s so refreshing rather than “experimental”.
This song was like.. At first it was OK type but after hearing again and again.. OMG.. It became so addictive.. I can't stop listening now...
But personally green light is my fav single of lorde too.. Still solar power was such a bop
The truly incredible thing about lorde is that she is simply authentic, her songs are not necessarily mainstream, her lyrics are done so perfectly & each album so far is so different from the previous one, some of her songs grow on you, but once they do, you find it weird how an incredible song took a lot of time to grow on you
she perfectly encaptured the entire early summer vibe that she’s planning to put out with this album.
I’ve heard two of her songs besides this song but I love this the best. I am the type of person that likes chill and “freedom” types of music. So this was definitely a good effort in my opinion. Can’t wait for the album. Have a feeling I’ll fall in love with the rest
She never disappoints 🙌🏻
Solar power is fun but it’s not my favorite still super glad lorde is happy
This is one of my favorite songs by Lorde already. It’s amazing to see how she reinvented her style as an artist and evolved. Cannot wait to see what the album will sound like 🤩
i feel like it's really difficult to name a song that is happy and isn't corny or generic, but solar power easily breaks the mold. i'll vibe to it in summer AND winter.
I honestly loved it! It’s definitely a grower
That late 90s sound❤️
Ooh girl
I’m ready for the rest🙌🏽☀️
solar power reminded me of marina’s “man’s world” just a carefree single from the album. hopefully solar power (the album) builds up as the singles are released :)
The song is genius, as per usual. I wake up singing the hook. It’s fun to sing because it’s faultless in its potential to be harmonious. It’s such a fun song and really differentiates her for OR who is slightly accused of stealing Lordes vibe. I remember the first time I heard ‘déjà vu’ I couldn’t get over the irony because it sounded like a Lorde song: down to every affliction. However, I think Lorde broke away from even her own sound and vibe because she knew about her ops. I love it, I think it is transformative especially coming from NZ ! REPRESENT!!
I'm glad she's making music again
The music industry is doing quite well this year! I may not like a lot, but Demi Lovato, Dodie, Twenty One Pilots, and OneRepublic are all doing their part. God I love them and I love what I'm seeing. Looking forward to Rihanna dropping the ninth album and Halsey revealing whatever she's planning (dear OC character: thank you for making me love Halsey).
Honest, here's a video suggestion for ya: Dev. Devin Tailes, more commonly known as just Dev, is a singer and songwriter known for her collab with The Far East Movement and The Cataracs, Like a G6. She is also known for her moderately-successful solo song In the Dark (with a BOMB ASS TRACK and mv). Since her departure from work with The Cataracs, she's gone really quiet, yet still releases music and even has a daughter now! I'd love if you would talk about Dev, how underrated she is, and where she went off to following Like a G6 and her first album, The Night the Sun Came Up.
Isn't it phee-bee? Or is it pho-be?
It's Phee-bee. not Pho-be LOL
I really want to love it, but I just don't. It's pretty chill though. So happy that she's back!!
This is exactly how I feel
yeah its pretty mediocre for me
I feel so too, but it i think this is just an introduction to the album
Same. I do think the melody is catchy, but I feel like the production had a chance to go somewhere in the second verse at least, but it didn't. Also the songwriting 💀 I hope her songwriting style is more like melodrama / pure heroine on the other tracks on solar power, because this wasn't it for me 😭
Yup... what's the words for it, it's just not that good.
Lorde sounds like an Aquarius.
@Christian Dixie do you happen to know her moon? I’m interesting I’m going to look into this.
scorpio and aquarius are both pretty rebellious, aloof and outspoken signs, so i can see the similarities
@@undigesteddonut nothing about a scorpio is aloof
She has Uranus in her first house!
@@musicnerd9411 so an aquarius rising?
"Foh-be" bridgers and "fee-ral" i--
😂 deadass
lmao 💀
I was excited when this dropped and i’m not gonna lie when i listened to it the very first time i wasn’t a fan of it. I listened to it again and it grew on me and/or my ears gave in to the strange flow.
I started to listen to lorde in 2020 but the first time I listen to solar power And now it will always remind me of the summer
I honestly really love Solar Power a lot, the visual and the song are great, and I can't wait for the whole album 💖💖
Lorde looks stunning on the mv and her new song is such a bop on my first listen it makes me feel like I'm dancing in a beach. alone.
I love the song, the harmonies are beautiful
Lorde always come out w someone completely new and that’s why I love her. You never really know what she’s gonna come up with
I agree, definitely getting some George Michael “Freedom” sounds from the guitars. Especially towards the end. 👍🏽 Good song.
One of her best songs yet. She’s truly evolved
The first time I listened to it wasn't my favorite song but I kept listening to it and its definitely growing on me and I really love it and I know that album is going to be an amazing
I love the song.
How people reacts to Solar Power
reminds me of when Greenlight came out, alot of people don't like it. They even accused her of "selling out", but GL and Melodrama became one of her best matetial to date.
i personally really liked solar power. it definitely has a very different vibe to pure heroine and melodrama, but i don't think that's a bad thing. while i love the melancholy, nostalgia and moodiness of her previous songs, and identify highly with them, i would definitely like to see something more uplifting and happy. the themes of connecting with nature and sexual liberation are also some that i find really interesting, so i'm not dissappointed with the direction this is going, even though i can see why some people may be less into it, cause it's so different to her other work.
I personally loved the track, so freakin excited 💕
“Anarticka”
Lorde did have a remix collab on her song Homade Dynamite
Its on repeat since the day it dropped🥴💙
NOT FOBI BRIDGERS😭😭😭😭😭
I’m sorry but there’s nothing more iconic
Why so many people saying this song had to grow on them?? I was in love from the jump!! 😍😍
I love when artists do what they want to. She is didn't going by the book. 'Cause, she is the book. It looks like Billie and Lorde, known for their depressed style, will be happy and make us happy this summer.
Her music is a whole mood
I really like the song because it gives me vibe of tropics; just relaxing on the beach in the summer
I love this song. It’s very Lorde but very different at the same time. I love the summer and happy themes
it's so catchy and the chorus has been stuck on my mind for days!! better than some of the new artists stuff
I love solar power, I feel like this album is going to be about healing.
so keen for the album and her tour - Lorde live hits different
Her new single is so good. It gives me 90s vibes . Especially all saints and sheryl crow vibes. Say hi to grammy 2022 not that grammy cares but.
she is back. the LORD(E) HAS RETURNED
This song definitely grew on me, I think people let their own expectations ruin the song for them unfortunately.
I’ve never been a Lorde fan but i actually like Solar Power. I love the aesthetic and the vibe it gives me!
She’s among the defining musical talents of our generation
It has a slow start but when the last chorus hits, it just takes you over the edge
I really liked it . Like of course it's not her best song, but that doesn't matter it made me happy and floaty and that what is important how does it make you feel.
I love the song so much ✨💞
The video is a cult reference literally huge midsommar vibes😳😳😳
