Ultimately, it’s hard to say where exactly Solar Power goes

 Ultimately, it’s hard to say where exactly Solar Power goes. The album’s 12 tracks recount everything from fleeing Hollywood, like on the opening track, “The Path” in which Lorde confesses to “having nightmares from the camera flash” to winning Song of the Year at the 2014 Grammys before bidding farewell to classic rockstar fare: bottles, models, hotels, and jets. During the 43-plus minutes that make up Solar Power, Lorde toes the line between reveling in her past self and arriving at this new season of her life. “Now the cherry black lipstick’s gathering dust in a drawer / I don’t need her anymore / ‘cause I got this power,” she insists on “Oceanic Feeling,” referencing the dark pout that was long considered her signature look. On “The Man With the Axe,” Lorde criticizes her younger self, crooning, “I thought I was a genius, but now I’m twenty-two / And it’s startin’ to feel like all I know how to do is put on a suit and take it away.” It’s an honest admission about what celebrity has done to her psyche, but as a whole, the album plays like another cautionary tale about the pitfalls of fame and fortune.
