Overview

• Lorde released the second single “Man of the Year” on May 29 accompanied by a self-directed video in which she binds her chest as a visual exploration of gender fluidity.
• She unveiled the 11-song tracklist for her fourth studio album Virgin, co-produced with Jim-E Stack and featuring collaborators Dev Hynes, Dan Nigro, Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, and Buddy Ross.
• “Man of the Year” captures a moment of “ego death” and reflects Lorde’s fluid understanding of her gender identity, informed by experiences like trying on men’s jeans and coming off birth control.
• Virgin is set to arrive on June 27, marking Lorde’s first full-length release since her 2021 album Solar Power.
• A global tour in support of Virgin will kick off in September 2025 with headline dates across North America, Europe, and the UK.
