Kiwi musician Lorde hasn’t released an album in over three years, but a cryptic new Instagram post has fans theorising that her long-awaited fourth record may not be too far away. A new era of Lorde appears to be upon us. The 27-year-old pop star – real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor – hasn’t released a record since Solar Power in 2021, but just months after releasing her first single in three years , it appears the star is teasing her long-awaited fourth album.
Taking to Instagram last night, the two-time Grammy winner shared a series of images of herself leaning over a balcony in a black dress, along with a cryptic caption. “Use the existing tools wherever possible,” the Ribs singer wrote, followed by multiple symbols, including a copyright logo and three different L figures. A post shared by Lorde (@lorde) “If the tools do not exist you are spiritually obliged to create them,” she wrote, and completed her post with more cryptic symbols, that appeared to include a tarot card, the number 27, multiple stars, a shark, a rabbit and an Egyptian figure.
Fans were quick to take to the comment section with theories on what the post could mean, with many agreeing it could be a reference to her upcoming album. “She saw my story asking for new music,” one person joked. “L4 Confirmed!” another wrote.
Referencing the second picture of Lorde spitting off a balcony, followed by the third photo of a pressed pill with the word “spit” on it, others theorised it could.
