Solar Power Lorde I hate the winter, can’t stand the cold I tend to cancel all the plans (So sorry, I can’t make it) But when the heat comes, something takes a hold Can I kick it? Yeah, I can My cheeks in high color, overripe peaches No shirt, no shoes, only my features My boy behind me, he’s taking pictures Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus Forget all of the tears that you’ve cried It’s over (Over, over, over) It’s a new state of mind Are you coming, my baby? Acid green, aquamarine The girls are dancing in the sand And I throw my cellular device in the water Can you reach me? No, you can’t (Aha) My cheeks in high color, overripe peaches No shirt, no shoes, only my features My boy behind me, he’s taking pictures (He’s taking pictures) Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus Turn it on in a new kind of bright It’s solar (Solar, solar, solar) Come on and let the bliss begin Blink three times when you feel it kicking in That solar-olar-olar power Solar-olar-olar power Solar-olar-olar power Solar-olar-olar power Solar-olar-olar power Solar-olar-olar power Review Lorde’s return has been four years in the making, and she’s finally ready to release her third studio album “Solar Power” this summer. The title track is breezy and refreshing. Opening with a stripped back guitar, she keeps the production in a minimalistic soundscape with layered vocals building the vision gradually. Once reaching the final chorus she explodes with a euphoric summer production that is still light and could be the perfect soundtrack for a coastal drive. Lyrically making reference to nature and the environment around her, she encourages the listener to immerse themselves in the beauty around and get lost in the wonder of it. It’s about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all. |
