Lorde Shares Final ‘Virgin’ Preview With New Single, ‘Hammer’: Stream It Now


Lorde has dropped the 'Hammer,' giving fans the final taste of her upcoming fourth album before its official arrival next week.

With Virgin scheduled for release on June 27, Lorde took to social media earlier this week to reveal that one final single would be dropping in the lead-up – joining the recently-released cuts “What Was That” and “Man of the Year.” Arriving on Friday (June 20), the euphoric new single features co-production by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, and launches with an electronic passage which has drawn similarities to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” by some online commentators. Gender is one of several topics Lorde has promised to explore on Virgin, which drops June 27 via Republic Records featuring additional production from Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, Dan Nigro and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange.
