Lorde recently sent an email to fans and was very sincere… The year has not been an easy one. Despite having released the album “Solar Power”, which is very solar, it seems that your life is not that solar. And that has a lot to do with the covid-19 pandemic.
The singer spent the last few years in confinement in New Zealand, one of the countries that best overcame the pandemic with very few cases. To promote the album, she moved again to the United States and this made her feel lonely.

“The pandemic continues to make things difficult, lonely or dangerous for absolutely everyone to varying degrees, but other than that, 2021 was difficult in completely unexpected ways” wrote Lorde.
The fact that he is far away from his country, where he is most at home, is fundamental to Lorde’s state of mind:

“Being away from home at a time when the country is struggling to contain the virus, I am feeling isolated from friends and loved ones there (New Zealand). Looking at the country I’m in and feeling alienated from much of what I see, and knowing how far away it is from me” continued the New Zealand-born artist, admitting that she is suffering from mental conflicts.
“I’m questioning what I’m doing and why, all the time, at an unprecedented level”
“I was so sure that skipping the bad points (compulsive wasting time, internal panic, satisfying but empty validation cycle) would make up for missing the good points (feeling part of a community, listening to their sweet words). But I really missed it” she admitted.
Although shows are already happening, the rhythm is not the same as before.
“Normally, I would already be doing festivals and shows, walking around the world and touching their faces, so that probably contributes a little bit to the loneliness” she added.
