Lorde on Dropping ‘Virgin’: It ‘Broke Me Apart and Forged a New Creature Out of Me’

Lorde says she's ‘simply crazy’ after releasing her new album ‘Virgin,’ which she says broke her apart and rebuilt her.

“I’m still in shock and awe that so many of my heroes worked on Virgin — it has changed me collaborating with people this good, they’ll get a separate post,” she wrote, seemingly referring to Jim-E Stack, Dan Nigro, and Buddy Ross who co-produced the album. “I’m already extremely behind on this fucking post and pulling up at the festival again rn it’ll never leave my drafts if I don’t keep moving… but today very very special thanks go to Jimmy Stack for a collaboration so all in, fun, supportive, moving and inspiring that it really can’t be put into words.” “The result is nearly 40 minutes of undeniable pop bangers and jagged synth flashes where Lorde wipes parts of her past clean and makes room for the adult she has crystallized into.”
