Are we getting closer to new Lorde music?

The “Royals” artist has long been working on her fourth album, the follow-up to 2021’s Solar Power. In a rare Instagram post, Lorde posted a series of symbols, within which you can spot the letter L and the number 4.

In between all that, Lorde writes, “Use the existing tools wherever possible. If the tools do not exist you are spiritually obliged to create them.”

Lorde’s last new music update came in December, when she shared that she’s “not CLOSE close” with the upcoming material, but that she’s “building stamina for this chapter.”

In between, Lorde put out a cover of “Take Me to the River” in March for the tribute album to Taking Heads‘ Stop Making Sense.
