There’s an Astrological Reason Lorde Released ‘Solar Power’ Single When She Did
Lorde is a Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter. She sold out stadiums and earned millions of streams on platforms like Spotify. In 2021, this artist released the single āSolar Powerā with an astrologically significant premiere date.Ā
Hereās what we know about this āsunnyā single and its connection to the solar eclipse.Ā
Lorde released her 2021 single āSolar Powerā
This artist is known for songs like āRoyals,ā āGreen Light,ā and āRibs.ā After years of anticipation, Lorde released a new single. That was āSolar Power,ā complete with a bright and sunny music video and artists like Jack Antonoff listed as collaborators.
The release date of this single was very intentional, though. Not only was āSolar Powerā released during the beginning of summer, it also premiered on the day of a solar eclipse, visible from most parts of the world.Ā
āSolar Powerā was released on the same day as a solar eclipseĀ
The official release date for the āSolar Powerā single was June 10, 2021. However, some fans heard the āleakā for this song prior to its intended premiere date. Lorde wasnāt upset about it, though.
āI mean, listen, I love it. The kids are insane,ā Lorde said during an interview with Apple Music. āI love it, I respect it. I love how hungry they are. And tonightās a solar eclipse, you know? Youāve got to follow the vibes.ā
Although this song was in the works āfor years,ā it felt right for the artist to release it on, specifically, a scientifically significant date. The host of the video interview joked that āthe stars are in alignmentā for this song.Ā
Itās true. On June 10, 2021, there actually was a solar eclipse, when the moon passed between the earth and the sun. According to NASA, the partial eclipse was visible in some areas of the United States and Canada, as well as āparts of the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and northern Africa.ā
Lorde wanted āSolar Powerā to feel āsunnyā and āwarmā
āSolar Powerā isnāt the only song Lorde has lined up for release. This artist announced a full-length album is on the way. (This album comes years after the release of Melodrama, which featured songs like āGreen Lightā and āHomemade Dynamite.ā) However, thereās still plenty of mystery surrounding these new songs.
āI cannot give you too much detail right now, but I will say in the next season ā youāll get it in the next season,ā Lorde said during a June 2021 interview, hinting at a summer/fall release. āItās finished, itās amazing, itās coming.ā
Since then, the artist confirmed that her album, which includes the song āSolar Power,ā will debut on Aug. 20. Until then, the title single and the 2021 release āStoned at the Nail Salonā are available for streaming on music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.Ā
