Lorde Announces Final ‘Virgin’ Single Before Album Release, Calls It an ‘Ode to City Life & Horniness’
Lorde has announced "Hammer," the final 'Virgin' single she'll release before the album drops at the end of June.
The New Zealand native also shared what appears to be the track’s cover art: a photo of Lorde’s reflection repeating infinitely in opposite-facing bathroom mirrors as she washes her face at the sink, wearing a white tank and gray underwear. “Hammer” will follow Virgin ‘s first two singles, “What Was That” and “Man of the Year.” Lorde dropped the former in April along with a DIY music video filmed in part at a fan meetup in Washington Square Park, and on the latter — released in late May — she reflects on her broadening gender identity while embracing her inner masculinity. Gender is one of several topics Lorde has promised to explore on Virgin, which drops June 27 via Republic Records featuring production from Jim-E Stack, Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, Dan Nigro and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange.
