In a heartfelt message to fans, Lorde wrote:
“Every show I play is a collaboration between you and me… I think Ultrasound could be our masterpiece.”
The album’s first single, “What Was That,” was premiered during a surprise fan gathering in New York’s Washington Square Park, with part of its music video filmed on-site. Speaking with BBC Radio 1, Lorde cited Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’ as a catalyst in refining her vision:
“It gave me a kick. It forced me to define what Virgin was — raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc.”
Presale tickets for the tour go live May 14, with general onsale May 16 at 10 a.m. local time.
