That’s essentially what Lorde did while writing her latest album, Solar Power, which arrived last summer: She went off the grid, connected with the earth, and lived her life out of the spotlight.Ĭalling in from Los Angeles after wrapping up her U.S.

“As I started to make it, I was like, wow, this is as intimate a depiction of me as you could get.”Īnother facet of the Sonos project is meant to encourage listeners to go outside-with a handy, portable limited-edition Roam carry bag-and play the music en plein air, perhaps even immersed in nature, to make the experience even more special. The project “compelled me to have all of the pieces of music that have moved me or made me who I am in one place,” Lorde, born Ella Yelich-O’Connor, tells over Zoom. Other picks in the lineup show the range of her musical taste, from “Backseat Freestyle” by Kendrick Lamar to “Strange Overtones” by David Byrne and Brian Eno and “Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There’s Joni Mitchell’s “Amelia,” which is like an ever-flowing fountain of wisdom to her, offering new insight or advice with each listen. There’s “Yonkers” by Tyler, the Creator, which was her so-called “holy grail” as a teen.
As she walks listeners through some of her favorite songs (spoiler alert: there’s hundreds of them), audiences get to know the elusive artist on a deeper level. The answer lies in Lorde’s new SOLARSYSTYM station for Sonos Radio, which launched this month. What tunes helped shape this bright young mind, who David Bowie once called the “future of music,” and who wrote the hits “Royals”, “The Louvre”, and “Stoned at the Nail Salon”? To know Lorde is to know the music that made her-the songs she grew up listening to, the lyrics that inspired her own songwriting, the tracks she used to rip from LimeWire as a teen like the rest of us, and more.
