Lorde has described her fourth album as her rebirth. 

‘Virgin’ is her attempt to make a document that reflected her femininity, which she described as “raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc”. 

It deals with themes of gender identity, body image, and mental health, a more introspective album than its predecessor ‘Solar Power’. 

Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to share her thoughts on the album.
