Before her highly anticipated album arrives in stores, Lorde has released her new single, “Sober.” With a slow and graceful R&B sensibility, the latest song is actually darker and showcase her glowing voice than her other previous hits.
As we previously mentioned, the Grammy-winning singer burst onto the music scene at the tender age of 16. While Pure Heroine was topping the charts and changing the mainstream, the brunette beauty took a lengthy hiatus before heading back into the studio. The title of her second album, Melodrama, is a cheeky nod to Greek melodrama and her abiding love of theater.
We have 5 reasons why we love Lorde’s “Sober:”
5. The Second Song
With “Green Light” kicking things off, “Perfect Places” happens to be the final track on Lorde’s upcoming sophomore album. “Sober” happens to be the second song in the track-list. Notice how the tone and pace switches from “Green Light” to “Sober.”
4. Being Personal
The Green Light singer reveals the song is about her dealing with the highs and lows of a very wild weekend, and a burgeoning romance.
3. The World Tour
On her official Instagram account, the New Zealand native writes about her upcoming tour, “check your streaming service at midnight. to celebrate the launch of the tour i’m giving you the last little taste of melodrama before release next week. love this one to death. “

“But my hips have missed your hips
So, let’s get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)”
1. A Confession On Twitter
Over on her Twitter feed, the young starlet reveals in a thread what the track means to her, “this song was so important to me because it felt like pop music i hadn’t heard before, this sprawling brass & strange vocal syncopation”
Lorde’s latest album, Melodrama, arrives in stores on June 16th.
