USA-. Humanity is going through a key moment, and it is that world leaders came together to discuss the future of the planet and take “urgent” measures on climate change in the COP26, the conference of the United Nations about the environment. This is an issue that does not go unnoticed for Lorde, so he addressed it in his new video clip.
In his new music video Fallen Fruit, the new single from his most recent album Solar Power, Lorde reminds viewers that it is the duty of humans to protect the planet for future generations. In this the artist represents the fragility of life on Earth, with the metaphor of Adam and Eve referred to in the title of the song, since for her the greatest sin would be to leave the planet uninhabitable.
In the music video for Fallen Fruit Lorde makes a connection to the music video for his first single Solar Power, and reveals that the island he shows on this one will not remain due to greedy human consumption that will eventually lead to his demise. “In the video ‘Solar Power’, you were introduced to the island as an exuberant paradise: sparkling water, blue skies, not a grain of sand out of place,” the artist explained in an official statement.
Cut to: humans doing what they do, becoming greedy, treating the earth with disrespect and stripping it of its beauty. There will always be another pristine place to start over, right? Gardens that were once lush and fruitful are now on fire. The fishing boats are broken and capsized. All that is left of the peaches are their pits. In the midst of all that, my character makes a decision, “he continued. Lorde.
In addition to taking a new video, Lorde announced that this Friday he will present the deluxe version of his album Solar Power, which will include the new songs Helen of Troy and Hold No Grudge. “These songs were fun explorations on the album journey. They didn’t quite fit on the song list for some reason, but they are both great songs, “the artist said, referring to the songs as” the black sheep “on the album.
