If you’re like us — and who isn’t? — you likely still have Lorde’s massive new single “Green Light” playing on repeat. But today that constant spin cycle takes a momentary break to slow things down a bit, as our favorite 20-year-old New Zealand alt-pop queen is back with another track off her forthcoming sophomore album Melodrama.
The song is a piano-led number called “Liability,” and it’s another love-centered composition but with much greater ease than “Green Light.” It definitely shakes up all the assumptions about Melodrama (and its appetite for pop music), which isn’t out until June 16.
Catch Lorde this weekend when she performs live on Saturday Night Live, and bet some money we’ll get “Liability” on the back end of her one-two musical punch.
