Lorde unveils new surprise EP of ‘Solar Power’

Lyricist and singer Lorde has officially released a surprise EP of her Solar Power singer, sung completely in the Maori language.

During her interview with Spinoff, Lorde highlighted her inspiration for the song and was quoted telling the outlet, “I’d taken each song line by line, and had really gone into it deeply.”

“So, Hana had a good understanding of where I was at and was able to then take the translations to a more metaphorical place, or just invoke a figure that felt pertinent to her.”
