Lorde – LP – Solar Power. Vinyl Records London are on cloud nine, we are now spinning in a brand new copy in Cassettes & Vinyl from Lorde Some Lorde fans were a little irritated by ‘Solar Power’, the lead single from her comeback album of the same name, primarily because it sounded far more influenced by cheery ’90s indie-pop and summery blue-eyed soul than her moodier early work. She’s carried that over into album, which arrives as a boxed high-res download with tons of additional content (poster, postcards, booklet and so on). The singer-songwriter’s first set in for years is full of gently warming fare, from the opaque, dewy-eyed folk of ‘Stoned in the Nail Station’, to the early 2000s R&B-pop-goes-summer soul flex of recent single ‘Mood Ring’. There’s no glum moodiness here, just gently positive music to raise your mood in these most testing of times. 1. “The Path” 3:39 2. “Solar Power” 3:13 3. “California” 3:12 4. “Stoned In The Nail Salon” 4:27 5. “Fallen Fruit” 3:58 6. “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All)” 3:40 Side 2 1. “The Man With The Axe” 4:15 2. “Dominoes” 2:02 3. “Big Star” 2:46 4. “Leader Of A New Regime” 1:32 5. “Mood Ring” 3:28 6. “Oceanic Feeling” 6:28
