Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video.

Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into the song. Because of a removal of a t-shirt, YouTube have had to censor a section of it, which feels very unnecessary when you see the uncensored version of Lorde’s video.

On her website, she yells: “BIKING. SMOKING. SWIMMING. NEW STRENGTH IN MY SHOULDERS. FEELING SOMETHING AWAKENING. FIRST TAPING MY CHEST. SO SCARED TO BE HIM. THE GQ PARTY. LAYING BACK ON THE WHITE COUCH W THE MIC IN MY HAND AND LETTING IT HAPPEN. SUN. PERSIMMONS AND WALNUTS. VOCALS WITH AMS. TRYING TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A FONTANA, LIKE PAINTING BITTEN BY A MAN, LIKE THE NEW YORK EARTH ROOM. THE SOUND OF MY REBIRTH.”
