Lorde's 'Virgin': A New Chapter or Final Curtain?
TL;DR
Lorde's fourth album 'Virgin' is a mixed bag, featuring erratic production and superficial themes, with moments of introspection like 'Shapeshifter' and 'Broken Glass' that reveal her ongoing struggle with fame and self-identity. Despite high expectations, the album feels disjointed and less compelling than her previous work, though it hints at a more vulnerable side of the artist.
