In her fourth album, Virgin, Lorde reflects on a challenging year that includes a bad breakup and personal battles with an eating disorder. Unlike the exuberant nature of her previous work, the album oscillates between emotional depth and stark reality. The titular track 'Broken Glass' showcases her introspective mood as she examines insecurities and vulnerabilities. Throughout the brisk 34 minutes, Lorde continues to hone her confessional style, echoing themes present in her collaboration on 'Girl, so confusing,' balancing vulnerability with artistic sophistication.
On Virgin, Lorde picks up where she left off on 'Girl, so confusing' and deepens her investigations, presenting some searingly honest epiphanies.
Last year was bad, Lorde sings at the opening of 'Broken Glass' on her fourth album.
She has the capacity to cut through busy, loaded instrumentals to mine the inexpressible feelings of adolescence and adulthood with a pointed tongue.
It's just self defense until you're building a weapon, she sang, a poignant note of accountability balanced against the psychological paradoxes of womanhood.
