Chappell Roan went from song “God, what did you do?” Ask “Lorde, what’s going on?” In a recent interview with Roller,, Lorde said that Chappell – who has become a close friend of his in the past year – had asked him about his gender identity and what has changed. “She was like” So, are you not binary now? “” Remember Lorde. “And I said to myself:” I am a woman with the exception of the days when I am a man “. I know that it is not a very satisfactory answer, but there is a part of me that is really resistant to the boxers. “The lyrics of the opening of his next album, Virgin,, Express a similar feeling: “Some days, I am a woman / certain days, I am a man.” Another song, “Man of the Year”, was written when she was trying to visualize what her sex felt for the moment and saw herself carrying jeans for men, a gold chain, adhesive tape on her chest and nothing else. Lorde said she had band, put her and took a photo looking at herself. “It frightened me what I saw. I didn’t understand it, ”she said. “But I felt something that would burst out of me. It was crazy. It was something shredded. There was this violence.” She said Roller That it is “in the middle of the genre”, the outing noting that it always uses it / its pronouns. Although the opening of her identity has scared her, Lorde stressed that she did not want to “take up space” of trans people who have “more on the line” because she is “comparatively, in a very safe place as a rich woman and cis”.
The singer “What What That” previously shared that she had started to feel her sex “widen” before she does Virgin. She extended this experience to Roller,, Sharing this in 2023, she left birth control for the first time since she was 15 years old. She ovula for the first time in a decade – an experience which she describes as “one of the best drugs she has ever made” – and was then diagnosed with a premenstrual dysphoric disorder, in the end, ending up inserting the youth who is on Virginalbum cover. The cessation of birth control made her feel that she had “cut a sort of cord between me and this regulated femininity,” she said. Still in 2023, Lorde began a trip to develop a healthier relationship with food and her body and returned to the person that she was before having developed eating habits for disorders and a fixing on the end: “My cock has become much larger when I gave more room to my body,” she thought. And “entering” his body also meant understanding both “the grotesque nature of it and glory,” she said. This influenced her approach to the lyrics of her album, which, according to her, often tries to strike on a sort of “knot or rudeness” that she has never heard in a song. Until June 27, we will just have to wait and see what Lyrique Place Lorde Virgin may have touched for the very first time.
