First Billie, now Lorde…

2021: The Year of No Bangers.

[Hugh Jass]

Although I suppose if you think about it a lot of the music we are getting now would have been written and recorded in the last 12 months, which hasn’t exactly been an upbeat time.

No bangers is it?

Kids don’t want bangers anymore they want chilled stuff it seems

I like it, but it's nowhere near what I was expecting.

Definitely has "song of the summer" vibes, and it's already catchy after one listen even it's not a banger on the Green Light/Royals/Supercut level

Edit: for anyone trying to find it, just google Lord Solar Power MP3 and the first result should sort you out.

The Faith similarities are the biggest downside to the song for me. It’s just too much of a recognisable guitar line to be aping so blatantly, whether intentional or not.Other than that, the song’s a big grower and I’m enjoying it a lot.

That guitar though…

It stood out glaringly on first listen, but just blasted it a few times in a row and I'm already past the Faith vibe tbh. 

I think it's great! Jarring on first listen, but she's done something different and it's a winner for me.

Or Loaded, if that's more your thing.

Been waiting patiently for the new Lorde track and now knowing it’s out there but I can’t listen to it is very frustrating!

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a great song but hopefully there's an extended version coming- or a remix that amps up the groove a bit.

Yeah, kinda feels like it needs a bit more at the end. The last 30 seconds or so really tip it to "great", but it feels like it finishes right as it gets going.

K pop doesnt count as music to this lot. Theyll surely cut their ears off than say BTS or Blackpink are worth anything.

 

 

and apparently the Lorde album isnt even finished. So who knows how that turns out.

Tell ya what though, can certainly picture myself in the Pyramid field, sun setting, cider in hand listening to that tune. 

[Matt42]

So this was spot on?

Considering this one had feeb and clairo I wonder if Mood Ring has swift. 

[Matt42]

Just listened on Spotify (it’s up).

Erm. Sounds like a Primal Scream track.

Midsommar vibes in that vid

Yeah, no….. especially on the statement. 

[Guy Incognito]

Big patronising. Seasonal differences between Northern and Southern hemispheres ain't that confusing, Lorde.

Thank you for jogging my memory of what it reminded me of!

On first listen it's a little underwhelming...
