Lorde Teases Forthcoming Album With Rare Instagram Post

Lorde made a rare appearance on Instagram late Sunday to tease her forthcoming fourth album. “Listening to myself,” she captioned two photos of herself posing on a bed with headphones on. But she also made sure to reign-in her fans' excitement. “We’re not CLOSE close you guys… i’m just getting so hype n needed to let u know,” Lorde wrote. “Start ur excitement on a low flame and bring it up to a gentle simmer .. we building stamina for this chapter.” Lorde has opted to mostly stay off social media in recent years, instead using a newsletter to share her latest thoughts and updates with fans.
