She was once known for the smash single “Royals,” but with her third album, “Solar Power,” Lorde’s music has taken a new turn — think quarter-life crisis, according to Rolling Stone.

“Lorde spends a lot of the album shedding her skin,” Rolling Stone said in a review of the album, which the New Zealander dropped last August. “Phones get tossed in the water. She bids adieu to ‘all the bottles, all the models’ and ‘the kids in line for the new Supreme.’”

For those who want to see the young singer-songwriter perform her material, both new and “old,” she’s set to play two nights at Wang Theatre – April 12 and 13.

“The timing of the songwriter’s most inward album yet is a bit funny: we are seeing the impact of her first two albums absolutely dominate popular music,” Rolling Stone wrote. “Her influence has left an indelible mark on the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and even Billie EIlish, both of whom hit the same notes on how taxing celebrity can be before they even hit their 20s.”

When she toured for her sophomore album, “Melodrama,” Lorde’s performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in April 2018 garnered a positive review from The New York Times.

“Lorde is a confident and joyful performer,” the reviewer wrote. “She smiles and sighs as easily as she loses herself in reverie when the song demands it. Her dancing is all sharp angles and jerky movements, earnestly exuberant.”
