Virgin2025

This was my first Lorde album release as her fan. It completely blew my mind.

I still remember the first time I listened to it—on 27th June 2025—I was in Croatia on vacation. I knew about the release, but didn’t really care for it. “I will listen to it when I’ll listen to it,” I thought.

But then, I woke up at 05:33, only twenty-seven minutes before the album was released. I got up from my bed, took my phone and JBL speaker, and crawled into my father’s bed to listen to the album. (He’s also a big fan of hers.)

At first, I was really sleep deprived and didn’t really listen to music and lyrics. Not to mention, that What Was That was the only single that I liked.

Shapeshifter totally changed my life. It is one of her best songs ever, and the way she performs it is insane.

I’m a fruit that leaves a stain—genuinely, who writes like that?

I had no idea what Clearnblue is, but after I heart the lyrics “After the ecstasy, testing for pregnancy” I had a pretty good idea what it was about. This is my favourite song off the album, because I never heard one like it. Her best lyrics ever.

(Hearing Clearblue life healed something in me.)

Broken Glass is still too much of a personal song for me to even try to explain just how much I love it.

This album changed my everything. And I truly want to thank Lorde for being true to herself throughout her entire career.

I can’t wait to see her again 🤍.
