After the influence of Charli XCX's album, Lorde's new album 'Virgin' has garnered critical acclaim, reflecting a shift towards simplicity in style and content. While fans embrace its themes, the term 'virgin summer' is met with reluctance, as virginity is often intertwined with societal expectations and stigma. Lorde's interpretation focuses on vulnerability and honesty rather than traditional meanings. She expresses a desire to connect with her most authentic self, capturing an essence of awkwardness and openness.
Lorde's virgin summer comes with no such baggage. She's not making a claim about literal virginity but argues for harnessing the spirit of your most earnest, uncynical self.
As she recently told podcaster Jake Shane, 'I was really trying to get back to this place where you're quite awkward, and it all sort of spills out in a way that maybe you didn't want it to.'
