Comparing her on again off again relationship with fame to a romance, Lorde asserts she “don’t want that California love” over fittingly Western-sounding drums and guitar. This track gets to the heart of the album’s origins - it all started when she realized she needed to disappear from the spotlight for a while. This song clarifies the point in her life - an overwhelmed young pop star - at which she began the emotional growth journey explored throughout the album. “The Path” is a nice opener for this album, and answers some of the questions opened up by “Solar Power” when it was first released. Lorde Goes Blonde in 'Satirical' Video for New Song 'Mood Ring': Watch Even though its slightly shallow sound is always a little at risk of fading into the background, Solar Power‘s lead single serves as a fun, nourishing look into the emotional high points of the album. “Solar Power” makes a lot more sense now that it’s grounded by the added dimensions of all the other songs on the album. Lorde harmonizes with herself in stacked, crackling vocal lines - now a certified hallmark of her music - as she fantasizes about being a pop star in a post-apocalyptic society where most of the earth’s environment is unlivable. This track is a quick, just slightly confusing break from the world where most of the other songs on Solar Power take place. “I like that it sounds like how that summer sounded.” “You can hear a lot of sirens because there were a ton of protests that summer,” she wrote for Spotify. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios with the doors open, one cool feature of this track is that some of the ambient noises from outside fill up the background. “Dominoes” is a pretty little song, it’s just not the one you go back to again and again after hearing it for the first time.
