Why aren't we talking about this, thought id leave it for someone else to post but nobody did, glad it looks like going top 10!
It is a total grower but also its like a mashup of 'Faith' and 'Loaded' which cant be a bad thing, ok its maybe not as inventive as many of her past songs but maybe we just need a sunny chilled song!!

It's not going top 10 this week but it depends if it takes off over the summer whether it will eventually. I'm not so sure personally.

I gave it a couple of listens, and just could not get into it. But then I am not a big Lorde fan anyway.

Yeah, I like the last minute or so but its hard to get excited about a song about solar power that takes 2 minutes to kick in, it just took me back to memories of them old school energy efficient light bulbs that took 2 minutes to turn on. Its ok though, better than most of what occupies the charts

I like it but I'm underwhelmed - mostly because Billie Eilish pretty much has understated pop covered in abundance, and I've been excited for new Lorde music for a long time now.

All I know is everyone's very sure it sounds like George Michael.
First off I saw someone say it was like Too Funky. Then I saw someone say it was like Freedom. Now it's Faith! Either people online are very bad at remembering GM song titles, or Lorde's been busy with his entire discography.

Solar Power has grown on me tenfold since I first heard it, and this new one I adore instantly.

My first thought when I heard Solar Power was "Someone's been listening to Screamadelica." But I quite like it though.

Assuming this is the second 'official' single. Like a lot.

The hook bit (about sun salutations and meditations) really sounds like some 90's Britpop/indie song, and it's bugging me.
Much better than Solar Power.

Much better than Solar Power. MUCH better than Solar Power! I just could not get into that at all.

Love the first two singles, but the album has disappointed me a tad. Just not as strong as her first two.

The beginning of Mood ring reminds me of Viva forever by Spice Girls.
I tried to listen to the album, but I think I'd have to listen to it again, need to be in the right state of mind. But somehow I have a feeling I won't be listening to it often.
