Pop singer-songwriter Lorde has unveiled her album Virgin, out now via Universal Music. This project is the New Zealander’s first full-length release in four years, signaling a bold artistic evolution. It explores themes of gender fluidity, raw femininity, and deeply personal self-examination. Lead singles such as “What Was That,” “Man of the Year,” and the opening track “Hammer” highlight her return to synth-driven alt-pop, enriched with visceral, emotionally charged lyrics.

New Zealand singer and songwriter Lorde has announced a 2025 world tour named ‘Ultrasound’ across arenas in North America, Europe and the UK, in support of her forthcoming album Virgin, out June 27. The extensive tour will begin in North America in Austin, Texas on September 17. The European leg will begin in Luxembourg a few weeks later, on November 9, followed by Paris on November 10 and the first UK date in Manchester on November 15.
