The 24-year-old has shared her reasons for using a half-naked image of herself for the cover album of new release, <em>Solar Power<\/em>, admitting: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to do it while you&#8217;ve got it, you know?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The shot, taken from the ground, features the singer leaping in mid-air while wearing a thong bikini.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My friend just took it. It was just me jumping over a friend on the beach,&#8221; the singer explained in an interview on <em>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em>. &#8220;For those who don&#8217;t know, it is my butt kinda from below, and I&#8217;m in a bikini, so it\u2019s a little hardcore, but it was so joyful to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;It felt, like, innocent and playful and a little bit, like, feral and sexy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27420\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/06\/lorde-solar-power.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stephen then revealed that he was not allowed to show the image on his late night TV show because &#8220;CBS&#8217; standards and practices will not let me hold up the album because ironically for an album called Solar Power, there&#8217;s a photo on it of where the sun don&#8217;t shine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/lorde-new-music-solar-power\/\">The album is Lorde&#8217;s third album<\/a>, and it comes four years after her last release, <em>Melodrama<\/em>, and seven years after her debut album, the Grammy-nominated <em>Pure Heroine<\/em>, released when she was only 17.<\/p>\n<p>The singer had been expected to release the album in 2019 but postponed recording after the death of her dog. &#8220;He was instrumental to the discovery that was taking place. I felt he led me towards the ideas. And it\u2019s going to take some time and re-calibration, now that there\u2019s no shepherd ahead of me, to see what the work is going to be,&#8221; she told fans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27419\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27419\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27419\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/06\/lorde-music-video.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: UMG<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;So I\u2019m asking for your patience, as 2020 comes around and you start to wonder where the next record is,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have lost my boy, and I need some time to see the good again, to finish making this for you. It won\u2019t be the same work\u2014 as anyone who has felt loss can understand, there\u2019s a door that opens that you step through, and everything is different on the other side. But when this great loss crystallizes inside me, and my chest rebuilds around it, hopefully I\u2019ll be able to finish up, and share it with you, and we\u2019ll all grow together, as we always do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/lorde-australian-tour\/\">Lorde will also embark on a world tour<\/a>, her first in several years. The singer will hit the United States, Britain, Europe, Australia and New Zealand., kicking off in Christchurch, New Zealand in February 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29176,"featured_media":27421,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lorde Reveals Background Of &#039;Playful And Sexy&#039; Solar Power Album Cover<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lorde has shared her reasons for using a half-naked image of herself for the cover album of new release, Solar Power.
