Its lyrics are more consuming and existential, concerned with the passage of time, growing older, the pursuit of happiness, and being perceived as a savior of some sort (she rejects it). Indeed, she herself said as much in an interview with the New York Times where she called the record “ one of my great weed albums.” And though she didn’t specify whether thats in reference to the sound or lyrical content of the record - love it or hate it - the descriptor is the accurate vibe of both elements of the project the sonics of Solar Power is all laidback guitar, unhurried melodies, and soft, wispy singing: chill and softly revelational. It’s “self aware and scaled-back” but “drab,” Pitchfork declares in its review, while Rolling Stone describes the album as “smooth and beachy, searching for serenity in anxious times.” Her fans online have anointed it something simpler: “me and lorde are both in our weed addiction era it’s kinda beautiful,” tweeted one user.
