Lorde’s Solar Power, her first album in almost four years, is set to be released in just over a week. Her admirers have waited a long time for it, and hopefully it will be worth it when the full-length album and its 12 songs arrive for them to enjoy. “A celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent sentiments I have when I’m outdoors,” she describes the next body of work. While fans are anticipating the release of the album, the singer took a moment to respond to comments made about a particular contributor before to its release.
The singer was asked about her emotions about being placed into a collective of Jack Antonoff collaborators known as “Jack’s stable” in an interview with the New York Times.
“I haven’t made a Jack Antonoff record,” she replied. “I’ve made a Lorde record and he’s helped me make it and very much deferred to me on production and arrangement. Jack would agree with this. To give him that amount of credit is frankly insulting.” Lorde, who worked with Antonoff on her 2017 album Melodrama in addition to her upcoming release, also added that she views the comments as “retro” and “sexist.”
“I know that there are certain hallmarks of what Jack does and some of those things I really love and some of them I don’t like,” she added. “And I beat them out of the work that we do together.”
