Lorde Steps Into Independence as Universal Contract Ends

Lorde announced she’s now an independent artist after her Universal Music Group contract expired in late 2025, seeking a clean slate after signing with UMG at age 12. She praised the team at UMG but said she needed freedom from a pre-sold creative output, and Variety confirms she’s no longer with UMG. She had released Virgin through UMG in 2025 and is currently on her Ultrasound tour, with upcoming Los Angeles shows, while leaving open the possibility of future deals with Universal.

Lorde's 'Virgin': A New Chapter or Final Curtain?

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.
