Lorde Overcomes Mental Health Struggles to Release New Album Virgin

News summary

At the start of 2023, singer Lorde experienced a severe creative block linked to an eating disorder that consumed her thoughts with food, weight, and exercise, leaving her feeling mentally unwell and disconnected from her artistry. She revealed in multiple interviews that she was focused on trying to weigh as little as possible, which she described as her 'creative pursuit' at the time, resulting in a loss of musical inspiration and a belief that she might never make music again. Lorde realized she needed to stop this destructive cycle, and once she did, her creativity began to return. Her new album, Virgin, released in June 2023, reflects her journey of vulnerability, reclaiming her body, and reconnecting with her emotional and creative self, addressing personal themes such as her relationship with her mother, gender identity, and the end of a long-term romance. The album’s cover art, featuring an x-ray image including an inter-uterine device, symbolizes her openness and bravery in sharing her personal experiences. Lorde anticipates that the candid nature of the album will divide listeners, with some losing interest and others embracing the new direction she has taken.
