Looks like Lana Del Rey has finally let Lorde play with the Jack Antonoff. Today, she announces that her much, much-anticipated third album is on its way. You can hear 'Solar Power' - the title track - now.

Many on social media have pointed out the similarity of this new track and the sunny rock of Primal Scream's Screamadelica, and though it's definitely there - the staccato guitar, the sunniness - Lorde's own brand of lyrical flair and vaguely Gothic style remains.

Chef's kiss:

The accompanying video shows Lorde acting very much like the "prettier Jesus" she claims to be, leading groups of young people to her utopia on the beach. 

In a newsletter to fans, Lorde announced that Solar Power will be a “celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors.”
