It's time to announce the track list!!

Probably next week or the week after? Seems like each week gets its own thing. TikTok snippet, single announcement, single release, album announcement, tour announcement, tour sale...

She confirmed to RS that Antonoff is not involved in Virgin, we won!!!!!!

WE WON

🩻 40 DAYS LEFT FOR THIS AOTY 🩻

It simultaneously feels very close to release and also far away. Can we get some more out of this pre-release moment? Second single maybe? Performance somewhere?

When there was a crossroads where we'd want to take it there but we were scared, we'd be like, 'Do we have the stones?' And then we wrote it into a lyric, and I got it on a hat.

 

Martine: It is a good question: Do you have the stones? However you take it to mean—runes, or fire, or time. Do you have the stones, the weight, for whatever the thing is that you're doing?

 

Lorde: Another one that we had making this album was 'the magic lives close to the edge.' Because sometimes making stuff, as I'm sure you're familiar with, you're like, Whoa. I'm so alive in this, but I feel the presence of real danger, of risk.

Interesting how a good portion of her cryptic posting over the past 2-3 years have turned out to be references to actual lyrics. I am curious about the "magic" element/lyric. The rest of the album seems like it will be really straightforward narrative-style prose- but maybe that is a bit of a red herring. 

 

 

I cancelled my picture disc even though it was signed because I hate picture discs and I'm getting the coke bottle clear vinyl instead  

Yes, new song next week 

 

MOTY = SOTY & ROTY 

 

 

the way the cover arts also mean she's going deeper and deeper and the album will be THEE final layer & gag

Wait, her mind

I'm excited for Man of the Year! I know the wikipedia page says it's the opening track but girl the Rolling Stone article phrases it in a way where it AND the opening track were made on the same day… so I don't think it's the opening track lol

whew the hype 

 

Lowkey forgot about WWT? , but excited for this!

oh... shes taking it

 

 

This is giving pre NASTY drop

Is that true tho? I couldn't find that information on Amazon Music

seated for man of the year. poor stoned at the nail salon you didn't stand by a chance…

 

The snippet doesn't do much but I hope it gets more bombastic right when the clip ends

I'm glad MOTY is not the first song on the album cause I prefer to experience the opening and closing tracks on first listen

That synth chord progression already got me in shambles 

 

 

 

unfortunately the snippet is not it
