Lorde's outfit from the "Solar Power" video is back on sale after going viral
Lorde's not the only one who can now be a prettier Jesus
Music News Lorde
Lorde has risen from her hiatus and blessed us with new music, debuting her first new song since Melodrama, “Solar Power,” last week. The memes and discourse surrounding the song has been inescapable, as expected. So, even if you haven’t watched the music video for the track yet, chances are you’ve seen pictures of Lorde’s outfit. Her sunny, yellow beach co-ord was screencapped thousands of times on social media because Lorde makes yellow—a color that isn’t really a go-to for most people—look incredible. Much like how Jason Sudeikis’ Golden Globes hoodie became a coveted item, so has Lorde’s beach ensemble. Now you can look like a prettier Jesus, too.
The Collina Strada set sold out immediately after the music video premiered, but it’s finally back in stock. The downside is it’s not going to be available immediately, so you’ll have to pre-order it and receive it in “3-4 weeks.” Plus, it costs $340 for the skirt, and an additional $275 for the shirt (it’s not like Lorde wears stuff from Target, guys). But, much like the damn Lirika Matoshi strawberry dress nobody on social media could shut up about last year, this co-ord now seems to be the new coveted item.
And it looks like we’re about to get more iconic outfits in music videos to come for this album cycle. In an interview with Australia’s Triple J Radio, Lorde says, “We made a whole bunch of videos for this album. We built literally basically a universe on a secret beach. The first video is me introducing you to the world of the album and the videos, I play a kooky tour guide almost.” She also shares that she wrote “Solar Power” two summers ago and she is very excited for the record to come out soon, gushing, “I love this song; I love this album. I’m just hyped and I think it’s right for right now.”

I’m going to construct a giant robot arm so large that when it makes a j/o motion, you’ll be able to see it from orbit.
at first glance, i thought that was a photo of weird al!
At first glance, you need your vision checked.
Don’t worry, his rendition of “Bowler Power” is only days away from dropping.
Now that you’ve brought this idea into the world I really hope this becomes reality.
Fine, I’ll be the one to say it — they are pricing this at a thoroughly irresponsible money-to-fabric ratio for any piece of clothing that doesn’t enable you to fly.
One day (probably soon) someone will kickstart a full jacket with SPF500+ and literal photo-voltaic fabric that charges your phone wirelessly when it’s in a pocket, and it will cost $250, and people will say that’s ridiculous and overpriced. My point being that if that yellow gear ACTUALLY enabled you to fly, suddenly everyone would say it’s overpriced. Only when clothing has a measurable practical value do people seem to care about the price.
Seems like that kind of luxe is for her these days.
Why is Lorde “prettier” than Jesus?Because she has white skin, European features, “good” hair, and the body of a cis-woman?Please apologize for this article’s microaggressions and BIPOC erasure of a Jewish man who was born in Palestine, spent the first several years of his life in Egypt, and was then raised in Nazareth, the “Arab capital” of modern Israel.Then resign.
It’s a lyric from her song.

In that case, we should start counting the days until we get an article from Barsanti telling us to harass Lorde on Twitter.24 is old enough to know that Jesus would likely present as black, by Euro-American standards – Madonna had sex with Black Jesus in a music video 7 years before Lorde was born!She should go back to geology.
And here I thought that the “OMG PRETTIER JESUS?!!!!” screed would come from some wackjob Christian American Nationalist. Diversity! Yay! Tears, tears, I say, at the realization at how far we’ve advanced as a species since the last ice age.
Your comment managed to fill up my entire Woke Bingo card. Congrats!
Looking good, Randy!
Wait, it costs $340 and it’s made of 100% Polyester? Ew.
Seriously, that skirt in particular looks cheap as shit!
When did Lorde go from “deep” emo kid to summer anthem party gal?
Jack Antonoff has a way of focusing interesting pop artists into something unintimidating and un-though provoking, easily monetized, often through making it bland.He’s the musical equivalent of adding sour cream/corn starch to a sauce to appease someone that thinks the salt is too spicy.
