The record explored a dream pop and minimalist electronic sound.[5] Released in 2017, her second studio album, Melodrama, showcased Lorde's interest in piano instrumentation and maximalist pop music.[6] Lorde's 3rd studio album, Solar Power, was released on 20 August 2021, presenting a sonic shift towards acoustic guitars and stripped-down production[7] alongside a thematic shift towards escapism, introspection, and fame.[8]
