Lorde's music contrasts the ideas of demystification and mysticism, evident from her early work to her latest album 'Virgin'. Initially defying pop culture glamor in 'Royals', she later presents an inverted view on the same culture. The release of 'Solar Power' reveals her skepticism towards New Age wellness alongside her own wishes for manifestation. 'Virgin' further explores her identity through personal challenges, including the end of a significant relationship and an eating disorder, leading to introspection and a deeper examination of self amidst the noise of external expectations.
Lorde's music mirrors a tension between demystification and mysticism, where she both confronts and embodies the cultural narratives surrounding pop music and personal identity.
On 'Virgin', Lorde dives deeply into her identity amid personal challenges, exploring themes of rebirth and the ongoing struggle with insecurities and expectations.
