Lorde gives update on new music, says it's been "a very productive year"

Lorde's last new music was featured on her 2017 album Melodrama. Lorde is yet to reveal details of her follow up LP, but she has hinted that she's been working on new music a lot.

On New Zealand's The Edge radio station today (3 April), Lorde was asked if she's been busy working on new music, to which she replies, "It’s definitely too soon for me to talk about anything. But I will say that it’s been a very productive year."

In November last year, Lorde put her new album on hold following the death of her dog Pearl. She wrote in her newsletter to fans, "So I’m asking for your patience, as 2020 comes around and you start to wonder where the next record is. I have lost my boy, and I need some time to see the good again, to finish making this for you. It won’t be the same work - as anyone who has felt loss can understand, there’s a door that opens that you step through, and everything is different on the other side. But when this great loss crystallises inside me, and my chest rebuilds around it, hopefully I’ll be able to finish up, and share it with you, and we’ll all grow together, as we always do."
