Lorde has digitally released two Solar Power bonus tracks. Check out “Helen of Troy” and “Hold No Grudge” and below.
“These songs were fun explorations on the album journey,” Lorde said in press materials. “They didn’t quite fit into the tracklist for whatever reason but they’re both big tunes.”
Of “Helen of Troy” she added: “We wrote it super quickly in the tiniest room at Westlake where we did a bunch of Melo and it was fun the whole time. It’s super off the cuff lyrically, almost ad-libbed, and you can hear me starting to figure out some album themes.…”
Speaking about “Hold No Grudge” she said, “HNG is a sort of composite portrait of when relationships turn sour, being trapped in the ice but remembering the warmth.”
Lorde issued her highly-anticipated third album Solar Power back in August. The bonus songs appeared on New Zealand editions of the album. Earlier this week, Lorde dropped a clip for the song “Fallen Fruit.”
