Lorde’s global critically acclaimed fourth studio album Virgin, out now via EMI Music Australia/Universal Music New Zealand, has just made her triumphant return to No. 1 on the Aotearoa Music Charts in New Zealand, Australia’s ARIA Albums Chart, the Official Albums Chart in the UK, and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in the US. Co-produced by Lorde, Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro, Virgin represents a bold sonic evolution that balances maximalist production with her signature lyrical intimacy across 11 tracks, capturing the phosphorescence that has always defined her artistry.
Embarking on her biggest tour to date, the Ultrasound World Tour will kick off on September 17th in Austin, Texas and has already sold out multiple nights at iconic venues including New York City’s Madison Square Garden, London’s O2 Arena, among others.
