UPDATE: Lorde’s 3rd full-length record, Solar Power, is coming out August 20th and can be preordered / presaved here. We’ve also got a 2022 tour for Lorde coming down the pike, so get yourself vaccinated if you haven’t already, and buy your tickets Monday, July 5th at 12pm local time!
Remember the immortal words of Kim Deal when she sang “Summer is ready when you are” a mere 28 years ago? Those words probably ring truer this year than ever before. Maybe because this is going to be a weird Summer where not everyone is going to be ready at the same time, but when you are ready for Summer, it’s going to be LIT AS FUCK. Not LIT AF. LIT AS FUCK. So lit that this week we didn’t have just one, but TWO singles about the impending Summer of hugs and sharing space with your friends again. “Pool Hopping” by illuminati hotties is a glorious piece of classic pop-punk that is perfect for blasting at your first barbecue in 15 months. And, dear God, I really can’t wait to eat with my friends again.
“Pool Hopping” can be downloaded and streamed in all of the usual places, and their album Let Me Do One More will be coming your way October 1st. Preorder the fancy variant, or even the regular version HERE!
Our second single is the long-awaited first track off Lorde’s third record, and it’s called “Solar Power.” If “Pool Hopping” is the soundtrack to the LIT AS FUCK Summer, “Solar Power” is the soundtrack for HOT VAXXX SUMMER. (Yes, it also deserves the caps) The track is one of the happiest things to come from Lorde, and it’s definitely the happy and sexy make-out song we needed to remind us that the future isn’t as bleak as it seemed at this time last year.
We still don’t know anything more about this new Lorde album, but we will keep you posted as details come up. Until then, play it loud so you don’t wake the neighbors.
