Spoil me - I'm a DJ and I'm cute!
Lorde has shared a new song, “Sober.” Take a listen below. It’s the latest song off the singer-songwriter’s upcoming sophomore album Melodrama, which arrives in its entirety on June 16 via LAVA/Republic. To date, she’s shared three other songs from the new full-length: “Green Light,” “Liability,” and “Perfect Places.” Lorde is set to embark on a massive tour behind her new record later this year, beginning with a run in Europe before heading to Australia and her native New Zealand. In a series of tweets Friday morning, Lorde explained the story behind the song. Scroll down to check it out.
i wanna tell you about sober

so the first inklings of sober came to me in the back of an uber, and then properly at jack and lena's kitchen table. i BOLTED to the studio

i'll never forget writing the first demo it was like a trance i guided jack to the chords almost wordlessly with my hands on his shoulders

it was this really intense booming slow synth thing with a drum outro for ages then malay came thru on my birthday & cracked the code on it

came up with the "midnight, lose my mind" pitched sample on a sinfully hot day in palm springs and also started sober II that day as well

but this song was so important to me because it felt like pop music i hadn't heard before, this sprawling brass & strange vocal syncopation

& i think we expressed the emotions so purely- it's leaning & drawling, juvenile & triumphant - impressing someone then embarrassing urself

& that late-saturday-night declaration "WE PRETEND THAT WE JUST DON'T CARE / BUT WE CARE" tasted as fresh & new in my mouth as ice water
