Vocal Coach Reacts to Lorde 'Solar Power'

[@agustinlobos2564]

she never disappoints, truly an artist

[@Mik88l]

I’m so glad you were taken with this song too! By the way, the beach is on Waiheke Island in New Zealand.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Ooo thanks for the info.X

[@fortymillioncoins9066]

To me it's obvious it's a volcanic type beach on New Zealand but without the black sand- the sand still didn't look as white as Australian Beach sand (already telling me it was filmed on a small island possibly volcanic in origin as it does look a bit dirty/greyish like it has volcanic residues in it) and certainly not as white as the silica parrot fish poo sand of Whitehaven Island so that's why I was betting on New Zealand. I've been to Tai Tapu and the nearby shoreline to Akaroa and it really reminded me of the smaller enclosed beaches there- though I recall those as black volcanic sand.

[@shankapa3182]

Omg is this Waiheke? Girl yass.

[@viktormorra8274]

I think the album is going to be darker than we think. Lorde has always been very performative. Look how everyone behind her never smiles. And they're not dancing, more like freaking out. All while Lorde is the only one who looks happy. So perhaps this will be moreso about embracing madness and letting that fuel you and thus becoming your own source of power - your solar power. I feel there is more symbolism to this than what ppl are commenting on.

[@o.semadi7290]

Like midsommar

[@naveyarg9771]

Or you read to much into semi decent pop music?

[@lucasmyers7048]

I think it's up on the air. Listening to Stoned at the Nail Salon, it sounds like another healing album after a very dark album (which was one of my favorite albums from a pop or alternative artist), but both songs could turn the other way in the context of the album. Interested to see where the album takes us.

[@NoteToLoser]

Also, I absolutely love this song and this evolution for Lorde! We first met her as a gothy 16 year old who felt awkward and uncomfortable, went through heartbreak and sung about being a liability while desperately searching for perfect places, and now she's grown into this beautiful young woman who is just radiating joy and positivity. Perfect summer vibes! So good. And yet again, something *different*

[@donpixote3321]

that's a winner comment.

[@karenbreda7518]

Soft & easy to listen to

[@Rosannasfriend]

Beautiful song and vibes, especially for the summer.

[@dolcerose4439]

She said solar power is only one side of the album, and in this MV, Lorde is the leader of a cult. She is worshipped, she is compared to Jesus, the adherents are sad and seem on mushrooms/drugs. So I think the album may turns dark! She'll probably talk about global warming, important issues, and show us we are blind and manipulated in this society!! She is a genius!!! Can't wait for the album ☀️

[@CG-cv5ji]

Oooh! I love Lorde. She is a great artist. Amazing video. Thanks Georgina.🌹

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielkeech4046]

I love the beginning! No autotune, effects, or anything -just her voice mixed with the guitar. Superb!! So sick of overproduced vocals and songs!

[@charleypop]

It's such a great 60's bohemian vibe - like a call to the beach and the water! I'm really forward to the album, she makes fantastic music.

[@burhansami]

İ am very glad that she's returned and Will give us some great music that we couldn't hear for 3 years

[@peymanyaghoubi6560]

She and Taylor swift stepping even ahead and above , wow , folklore evermore and now solar power , great job jackantonoff

[@jackiemuller6876]

Its filmed at Cactus Bay on the north shore of Waiheke Island, New Zealand x

[@beautifullytragic]

I’ve been a fan of hers from the beginning, and I adore this new sound for her. Her development as an artist is documented in each album, and I believe this is a continuation from Melodrama - overcoming heartbreak and adversity, and basking in the positive aspects of life.

[@sierrastar5155]

She presents each era of her life perfectly with her music while still staying true enough to her sound/production style but bringing different elements in each time. Not a lot of artists can reinvent themselves like lorde each era while still easily being able to tell the music is theirs. She’s incredible.

[@lucasmyers7048]

Honestly, her playing with the form is what makes this so delicious. The fact that we don't get a hook until the end is....stunning. It's not that she merely delays the hook, but she makes the hook worth waiting for. I'm convinced that "A Girl Worth Fighting For" was looking ahead to this hook. Seriously.....This girl made us wait 70% of the song to hear the title of the track, and it was the most satisfying thing I've heard musically in the mainstream pop world in a bit. Well done!

[@RW-nr6bh]

I think it's a wonderfully sung track and very atmospheric. I love it and it's absolute pure joy to hear the lyrics "I hate the winter" going into a gorgeous feel-good song. Anyone who's ever had S.A.D. will know exactly how it feels. You can be passionate about the environment but still find it such a hard time in the dark and cold. Lorde is clearly somebody who sees the environment as very important, but also feels very human feelings in the dark and cold days. I find it fantastically relatable, and I think its brilliant she opened her song with such honesty and made it a feel good track which will not just be a summer anthem but will brighten our days every winter for years to come.

[@joeyjoe7930]

Really fast getting this video out Georgina! Lorde is THE BEST!

[@Hollandfox7]

You’re so quick!!! Loved this reaction ☺️

[@HonestVocalCoach]

I try my best! Enjoy Xx

[@kunalroy6848]

Really love your insight into this, and the song should really be listened to only on a good speaker where you can hear all the harmonies.

[@kiyoshi3619]

Good music is back

[@Quidwitchh]

She’s more an artist than a singer, her lyrics are beyond her years. But her sound is iconic.

[@pupupurin143]

i feel like i wouldve heard this song in like grown-ups or grown-ups 2, not a bad thing tho, very nostalgic and i love it so much

[@kiwibelt]

The video was filmed in New Zealand, on a beach at Waiheke Island. It’s a beautiful spot just a short ferry ride across the harbour from Auckland. It’s a shame you didn’t include the piece of the song when, in the chorus, Ella soars up the octave to make a really ethereal harmonic sound. (Soh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-ler power). In my opinion this is the best thing she has ever released. The world definitely needs uplifting, peaceful and beautiful music like this at the moment.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Ooo thanks for you for the info. X

[@kiwibelt]

Also, I’ve just listened to her latest track: ‘ Stoned at the nail salon.’ I had heard that it was a return to the darker more melancholic sound that we had become accustomed to from Ella. I wasn’t too keen on listening to the song based on that feedback but Oh My God! What a beautiful song! Very personal lyrics and just a gorgeous melody. She is clearly intent on using a lot of layered harmonies on the new album because they are there in spades on this new single. There is a video on KZbin of her performing it live on Seth Meyers’ show in the US. Check it out Georgina; I would love to hear what you think!

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

I really love this song. I agree it has a 60's hippy vibe, I thought then when I first heard it, especially towards the end. It reminds me of the musical Hair and the song Let The Sunshine In. I'm so glad Lorde is back making music, it's been a long time! :)

[@polytechnika]

The album is coming 21.06.21 luv x

[@HonestVocalCoach]

thanks for the info!

[@dblemons8141]

Where did you get this info?

[@Quidwitchh]

Also it was filmed in NZ 👌🏻

[@peymanyaghoubi6560]

I be listened to it 1000000 times since yesterday

[@user-nz8xv2cu5z]

omg lorde i love her so much

[@remymartinez3910]

These videos are really lovely. You should also be discovering new artists new songs and giving us your opinion, that would be very nice too. Not only the major label artists.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Thank you. I’ll look into that.

[@mrjomaled755]

it just builds up!!! the final outro just got me....

[@Tom-gu6ye]

Always watch your reactions first! loved it

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Yay! Thank you!

[@DGtlRift]

I can hear an homage George Michael Freedom.

[@boogottiboy]

Great song. I hear George Michael Freedom and The Eagles Seven Bridges Road.

[@Monica-jq4gy]

Totally 60's !!! Loved ur review !! Lorde is iconic !

[@julianodeassisroberto7674]

I love your work, my dear! Lorde's song is amazing

I love it so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cwb1400]

I just love this song!

[@holdon6759]

I don't write comments often, but I have to. I just want to thank you for your amazing videos and how you always have to say something nice, you are so incredible charasmatic and so kind. Thank you for your work on here. (Pls excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker)

[@Tejasssssm]

its a continuous video she told in a interview , plus the song is also inspired from the song called loaded by primal scream (it kinda sounds similar)

[@georgegeorgiev3946]

Am i the only one hearing the same chord progression as George Michael's Freedom?! :)

[@boogottiboy]

I hear that and also elements of Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles.

[@spaceygus]

The Lorde has risen!

[@trevorwoudt5856]

Location is a beach on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf. Its definitely New Zealand.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

[@ferMusic7878]

"Freedom... Freedom... Freedom...You've got to give what you take" 4 chords and a reminiscence of George Michael's Freedom in the chorus.

Nice😘

I am not really interesed in Lorde music but This song is so beautiful

[@vitorrocha9298]

Lorde, pls go back to being sad.

[@vegardsvelimorken9899]

I started to think about George Michael

[@odhranhorgan7954]

As much as I adore lorde I'm personally was left underwhelmed by it 😔 it's not bad but compared to her other songs it doesn't give me the same impact

[@mathieusimard7944]

Same for me but I remember when Melodrama was released I felt the same. I think we gotta take time to digest it and process it 😊

[@lypertzyines9685]

It grew on me over night! I love it now.

[@jxb7309]

I’m the same. I think it will be a grower over time, but I wasn’t too excited by it on the first listen.

[@kunalroy6848]

Listen to it in ear buds. You should be able to hear all the background instrumental and vocal harmonies.

[@RAINBOWNATE]

I love your voice. idk why. I thought you voice Peppa Pig Mom mommy pig. the make a reboot I can definitely seeing you voicing Mommy pig. or have like audio voice when you read the book on the app audio read. your voice is so Pure Herione so Melodrama and so Solar Power. If my text made Any sense. have that voice can a narrator on tv. Happy 2021 Pride Month everyone 🌈👬👨‍👨‍👦‍👦❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈👭👩‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@abdullahforlife]

lorde is god.

[@andreasa8486]

Reminds me of that famous Coca Cola advert!

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Hmm

[@andreasa8486]

@@HonestVocalCoach I mean the last bit of the song does

[@pennypenny376]

This song is quotable af.

[@mrjomaled755]

underproduced...you hit the nail right on the head!!!! it just builds up......

[@Atlas65]

"So 60's isn't it" ... No. it's just very much 90's. It is so much like Freedom with Georg Michael which is super 90's. And especially this element that you are referring to when the drums kick in. It's identical to Freedom. You should know you are old enough to remember.

[@hateuhavingatypicalemotion97]

So you really had this 1st. Than reacting to mariah careys new song somewhat love??. Whats happening georgina. Ur being slow dahhhling

[@HonestVocalCoach]

I have a lot on my mind

[@Rihanna8K]

Omg, how rude! Leave her alone...

[@brianhoule6006]

Lame review, but you got your Bose promo in there, and that's all that counts. Right?

[@juliusmoreno8458]

60's was the age of Aquarius, where people experimented with drugs (psychedelic drugs) free love, 2021 is also the new age of Aquarius or Saturn in Aquarius.

[@shankapa3182]

100% had the AOA vibe. Had that atmospheric, hippy, cult flavour.
