Lorde's new album 'Virgin' represents a significant shift in her relationship with technology, contrasting her previous stance in 'Solar Power.' While she once joked about throwing her phone into the water and expressed a fear of screen time, she's now showcasing her devices with pride. This change symbolizes her artistic growth and willingness to embrace messiness in both her life and music. Her talk of gadgets reflects a blend of magic and reality, perhaps suggesting a complex balance between technological immersion and personal authenticity.
"I somewhat famously had a real stance in my last album about refusal and rejection around the 'device'," she says with a smirk.
Part of what keeps the pop star so appealing is her willingness to disappear in between album cycles.
