‘Leader of a New Regime’ features on Lorde’s third album ‘Solar Power’, released this summer with singles ‘Solar Power’, ‘Stoned at the Nail Salon’ and ‘Mood Ring’.
Writing about the new song in her newsletter, Lorde described it as: “Just a couple of bites, a feeling, a perfect midpoint in the SP journey.”
Meanwhile, Lorde was confirmed as one of three headliners at the inaugural Primavera Los Angeles festival next September.
She’ll be joining Arctic Monkeys and Nine Inch Nails to top the bill at the festival, taking place from September 12-18, 2022 at the LA State Historic Park.
Also on the bill are Arca, Boy Harsher, Chai, Drain Gang (Bladee, Ecco2k, and Thaiboy Digital), Dry Cleaning, Faye Webster, James Blake, Kim Gordon, King Krule, Low, Mitski, Mustafa, PinkPantheress, Special Interest, Stereolab, Tierra Whack, and Tim Hecker.
In a statement on the Primavera Sound website announcing the headliners for the Los Angeles festival at the time, the festival company wrote: “Today, at last, we finally begin to cross the bridge that will take us to a new Primavera Sound destination without renouncing to all those values that, after 19 editions, underpin the Barcelona festival.
“Sustainability, gender equality, social commitment and urban integration will guarantee an impact that goes beyond the strictly musical one.”
