Lorde has announced that her newest album, Virgin, will be released on June 27.
The New Zealand singer, whose real name is Ella Yelich O’Connor, announced the new record on her website, which also displayed what appears to be the album cover art — an X-ray of a pelvis.
It also shows a zip, belt buckle and IUD.
“100% written in blood,” the website read.
The new album’s announcement came a week after she released her latest single What Was That.
The song’s music video was filmed at a mysterious pop-up event in New York City’s Washington Square Park that was initially shut down by police. The event ended up going ahead after all, and fans who stayed got to hear the new song for the first time.
It was the first sign of a follow-up to Lorde’s previous album, 2021’s Solar Power. Her other albums were 2013’s Pure Heroine and 2017’s Melodrama.
Last year, she collaborated with British singer Charli XCX on a remix of Girl, so confusing — on a re-release of the Grammy award-winning Brat.
Virgin is Lorde’s fourth studio album.
