Lorde is known for her chart-topping music — even if she takes long breaks between albums. For this reason, Lorde thinks she has a unique relationship with her fans. Here’s what the artist said following her 2021 album Solar Power’s release.
Lorde is the artist behind ‘Royals’ and Ribs’
Lorde (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor) is the artist behind “Ribs” and “Royals.” This artist began releasing original music as a teenager, releasing Pure Heroine in 2013.
She snagged Grammy Award wins for “Royals,” including those for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Years later, her album Melodrama was nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy Award.
Even if she “disappears” between releasing new music, this artist explained that she has a unique relationship with her listeners.

Lorde has a unique relationship with fans
Lorde is a chart-topping artist, even if she releases music sporadically. With Melodrama debuting in 2017, it was several years until fans got another album from the “Green Light” singer.
That was Solar Power, which debuted in 2021, complete with singles “Solar Power” and “Stoned At the Nail Salon.” Since its release, each track has earned millions of Spotify plays, with fans selling out live performances across North America. The artist commented on this during an interview with NME.
“It’s kind of a crazy relationship,” she said during her relationship with her fans, who she affectionately called her “kids.” “I’ll be like, ‘Once every four years, you’re going to hear from me in a massive way, and then not at all.’ So I understand if people decide to tap out.”
The artist even referenced this with the Solar Power track “Stoned At The Nail Salon,” singing, “All the music you loved at 16, you’ll grow out of.”

Lorde sometimes emails her fans about upcoming music
Can you reach her? Yes, you can. Lorde often connects with fans via email, sharing updates about her latest adventures and the songs she has on repeat. (In 2022, that included Rosalía’s album Motomami.) When Lorde canceled her Washington D.C. performance due to sickness, she personally messaged fans updates on her postponed concerts.
“These past couple days, I’ve been pushing through some horrendous laryngitis, and I regret to inform you that my voice hasn’t sufficiently recovered to be able to play the show for you,” she wrote. “…All well besides that, and absolutely frothing to party with you when I am able.”
One fan sent her an email sending well-wishes. Lorde responded, saying she was lucky to have such sweet people in her “gang.” Lorde even appeared at an in-person meet and greet event at Rough Trade NYC to promote Solar Power.
Lorde also has a significant role in writing and producing her own music, co-writing Solar Power with Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. Music by Lorde is available on most major streaming platforms.
