Its been three years since Lorde released her incredible debut album ‘Pure Heroine.’ Since then, we’ve received very little information on what comes next for the young star.

 

 

To celebrate her 20th birthday, Lorde decided to update the world on what’s to come. In an emotional post on her Facebook page, she talks about moving away from public life, “sometime in the last year or so, part of me crossed over. For one thing, I made a very deliberate choice to withdraw for a little while from a public life…I turned inwards to my friends, my family, towards this moment, so I could learn more about who I was, and so I could let this new project show itself to me.”

She also looked back on ‘Pure Heroine,’ saying, “writing Pure Heroine was my way of enshrining our teenage glory, putting it up in lights forever so that part of me never dies, and this record – well, this one is about what comes next.”

Lastly, she provides an update, as best as she can, on when we can expect her sophomore album, “I just need to keep working a while longer to make it as good as it can be. You’ll have to hold on. The big day is not tomorrow, or even next month realistically, but soon. I know you understand….What i’m trying to say is: this is a special birthday. The party is about to start. I am about to show you the new world.”
