Some Lorde fans were a little irritated by 'Solar Power', the lead single from her comeback album of the same name, primarily because it sounded far more influenced by cheery '90s indie-pop and summery blue-eyed soul than her moodier early work.
She's carried that over into album, which arrives as a boxed high-res download with tons of additional content (poster, postcards, booklet and so on).
The singer-songwriter's first set in for years is full of gently warming fare, from the opaque, dewy-eyed folk of 'Stoned in the Nail Station', to the early 2000s R&B-pop-goes-summer soul flex of recent single 'Mood Ring'.
There's no glum moodiness here, just gently positive music to raise your mood in these most testing of times.
