New Zealand pop star Lorde has revealed that her albums correlate to the drugs she was using while creating them: Her 2013 debut album, \u201cPure Heroine,\u201d is alcohol; 2017\u2019s \u201cMelodrama\u201d is MDMA; and\u00a0her most recent release, \u201cSolar Power,\u201d\u00a0is cannabis,\u00a0she told Vogue.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Initially, she had\u00a0planned for \u201cSolar Power\u201d\u00a0to be an LSD-themed record.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was going to make this big acid record but I don\u2019t think it was an acid album. I had one bad acid experience in this album and was like, \u2018Meh, it\u2019s a weed album.\u2019 It\u2019s one of my great weed albums,\u201d\u00a0she told the New York Times.<\/p>\n

More than drugs, though, \u201cSolar Power\u201d is really about Lorde\u2019s recent rediscovery of the natural world, she explained to Vogue. Her reconnection with the Earth followed her disconnecting from technology in 2018 when she quit social media entirely.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI could sense that it would be very bad for the work and for me if I stayed online,\u201d she said in her interview for Vogue\u2019s October cover story. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve met too many people for whom social media is a net positive. It\u2019s producing crazy chemicals, forming crazy neural pathways that are not rooted in positivity. You don\u2019t want to be the person shaking their finger, and I\u2019m totally aware that it\u2019s an immense privilege, a social privilege and kind of an economic privilege, to be able to abstain. But I think we\u2019ve got to be upfront about the things that are making us sick as a society.\u201d<\/p>\n
