A newly breezy Lorde has shared the second single from her forthcoming third album Solar Power (Aug. 20), the contemplative “Stoned at the Nail Salon.” The New Zealand singer/songwriter will perform her new song on Seth Meyers tonight (July 21), she revealed in an email to fans.
Unlike Solar Power’s statement-making title track, “Stoned at the Nail Salon” is understated and introspective, like the comedown after a wild night. “My hot blood’s been burning for so many summers now / It’s time to cool it down / Wherever that leads,” Lorde sings, only to shrug off her own musings: “Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon.”
“I hope you love this song, and this side to the album, and I hope if you’re someone who also has a habit of tiptoeing up to a deep thought then doubting yourself or dissociating, you know you’re not alone,” Lorde wrote in her email.
