Lorde Unveils Tracklist For New Album 'Virgin'

We’re less than a month away from the release of Lorde’s highly anticipated new album, Virgin, and ahead of the album’s drop, she’s unveiled the 11-song tracklist.

Today’s news follows the singer’s surprise appearance at a Lorde-themed club night at Mary’s Underground in Sydney last weekend.

Lorde revealed the tracklist at an intimate fan event in Auckland, New Zealand, on Wednesday (28 May) before sharing it with the broader public on social media today. At the event, fans heard the unreleased songs Man Of The Year, Broken Glass, and Current Affairs, with an attendee telling fans on Reddit that some of the vibes mirrored the fan favourite track Supercut.

The Royals singer shared the tracklist before dropping the music video for her new single, Man Of The Year, today at 2 pm AEST. As well as revealing the songs on Virgin, Lorde showcased the back cover for the album, which again features an X-Ray. This time, it shows the singer’s chest as she dons a Virgin necklace and a tattoo by her arm.

You can see the tracklist and the back album cover below. Virgin will be released on Friday, 27 June – you can pre-order the album here.

Upon announcing the release of Virgin earlier this month, Lorde said of the inspirations:

THE COLOUR OF THE ALBUM IS CLEAR. LIKE BATHWATER, WINDOWS, ICE, SPIT. FULL TRANSPARENCY. THE LANGUAGE IS PLAIN AND UNSENTIMENTAL. THE SOUNDS ARE THE SAME WHEREVER POSSIBLE. I WAS TRYING TO SEE MYSELF, ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTED MY FEMININITY: RAW, PRIMAL, INNOCENT, ELEGANT, OPENHEARTED, SPIRITUAL, MASC. I’M PROUD AND SCARED OF THIS ALBUM. THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE. I BELIEVE THAT PUTTING THE DEEPEST PARTS OF OURSELVES TO MUSIC IS WHAT SETS US FREE.

Lorde produced the album with Jim-E Stack and locked in additional collaborations with Fabiana Palladino, Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan), Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes (Turnstile), Andrew Aged, and Buddy Ross.
