Lorde returns with the lead single (“What Was That”) from her upcoming fourth studio album. Lorde is confronting the lingering nature of a... past relationship (“Do you know you're still with me when I'm out with my friends?”) and how reality beckons (“Now we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?”). I also really like these lyrics in the first verse: “I cover up all the mirrors / Can't see myself yet / I wear smoke like a wedding veil.” Lorde can’t face reality or the present just quite yet as she grapples with a future that fades like smoke. show more

promising first taste of her new album, I’m a sucker for breakup nostalgia with brighter textures
