So Lorde dropped a line on Twitter about the time it might take her to produce another album, and try to stay calm but this could be a hell of a wait.

Lorde is an absolute sensation and one of the most widely and passionately adored musicians of our generation. She’s an angel and Melodrama was a raw and powerful gift given to us straight from her heart. Plus it’s one of the most acclaimed albums of 2017. It was well worth the four year wait following her debut album came and rocked our world, and we completely understand that Lorde (AKA Ella) is super young and working hard to give us incredible music.

But this suggestion of a 10 year wait for more music is quite a lot to take in.

YES – 10 YEARS?!

The other day Lorde shared a bit of insight into where she’s at re music making and posted a tweet that inspired quite a lot of hope that the answer would be SOON:

She followed up with this, which is a beautiful insight into her composition process, but it did dampen the hope of more music being close on the horizon:

When a fan replied with “yeah and not 4 FUCKING YEARS FOR AN ALBUM”, Lorde, being the blessed being that she is, came back with nothing but truth.

And it’s a bit too real for us:

So basically, there’s no knowing when we’ll hear more of Lorde’s incredible music. We do understand that she doesn’t want to rush the creative process and we trust her because she is a god among mortals but holy wow not sure we can go a whole decade without more fire Lorde tracks. Plz no.

Fans responded with due panic but overall respect because Lorde is too pure and incites kindness and empathy from people. These tweets pretty much wrap up the emotional mixture of distress and support you’re probably feeling:

First comes pain and heartache:

Then comes acceptance, love and support:

Thank fuck Melodrama is so bloody amazing because this may have to get us through the next decade. Sending good vibes and positivity to Lorde, may her creative process be fruitful.
