Classified by Lorde as her "weed album", "Solar Power" was released in 2021 and is a departure from the synth-heavy, dance-oriented music of her previous albums. "Solar Power" is driven by piano and acoustic guitar arrangements, giving it more of an indie-folk feel.
Over a series of three acts, the Solar Power tour relies heavily on songs from its namesake album, but also features plenty of tunes from "Melodrama" and a small dose of her debut album, "Pure Heroine," Rolling Stone reported.
