Singer-Songwriter Lorde has dropped a new music video; on the 22nd March 2022 the artist premiered the visual partner for “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All)”. Lorde co-directed the video with Joel Kefali, an accomplished director known for his work with some of pop music’s brightest stars. Kefali and Lorde have worked together throughout the singer’s career, with the partnership birthing the music video for her debut single “Royals“. A press release for the video has described the dreamlike production “as Lorde revisits younger versions of herself in a stunning visual depiction of her omniscient lyrics.”
The 25-year-old singer has also provided the following description for her new music video, “…this song is me in communication with another version of me, trying to send along the wisdom I’ve started to gather along the way. When we were plotting the video, Joel brought up some old film/TV tropes about groupings of women. It inspired me to identify three distinct parts of myself, and imagine what would happen if these parts were able to meet… the Child in her purple lipstick and silver jewelry, big curls thrown over to one side, skipping and bouncing like I did as a six year old; the Lover, a baby woman in red with a little diamanté eye, waking up hungover and divine; and the Gardener, me at my wisest and most crunchy, dressed in my own clothes… I hope you love it.”
The singer’s new music video is a perfect companion to the thematic and lyrical content heard within “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All)”, the reflective track is the latest song to be taken from Lorde’s most recent album. Solar Power is the third studio album to be released by the New Zealand born artist, released on 20th August 2021, Solar Power is the second release co-produced by Jack Antonoff. Lorde and Antonoff previously worked together on Melodrama, the singer’s second studio album released in 2017.
Music critics have deemed Solar Power Lorde’s psychedelic album, such themes are apparent within the musical material and most notably within the single’s names. The album’s lead single “Solar Power” was released on 11th June 2021, the track served as an appetiser to Lorde’s new sound, ushering in a new direction for the singer. Two more aptly named singes followed suit, “Stones at the Nail Salon” and “Moon Ring”, the album’s latest single “Fallen Fruit” was released on 2nd November 2021.
The release of the new video for “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All)” arrived just weeks before the start of Lorde’s Solar Power tour. The Grammy Award-winning artist will hit the road this Spring and will perform at over forty dates across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. The upcoming tour marks the singer’s first North American tour since 2018. The tour opens on 3rd April 2022 with a performance in Nashville and concludes with a set at the Las Vegas event Live is Beautiful Music & Art Festival on 16th-18th September 2022.
