indie-only brown vinyl version - Lorde’s wonderful third album, Solar Power, is too complex to be basic. But it does shrug off the baggage that has been placed upon Lorde, upon stardom, and upon happiness itself in the influencer age. Gone are the creepy keyboards and the image of a teen girl with hunched posture in black cloaks. Instead we find groovy Grateful Dead guitars, lyrics about loving your dog, and paparazzi shots of a woman proudly striding in a floral midi-dress. Lorde the musician, social critic, and diarist has never been sharper, thankfully. As Solar Power meditates on the tension between achievement and comfort, it grazes masterpiece status
