Lorde has unveiled another new song from the new album Virgin. 'Man of the Year' comes with a new music video, directed by Grant Singer, that you can watch below. Scroll down to see the newly unveiled Virgin tracklist.
Last week, on social media, Lorde shared a short message about her new song: 'Man Of The Year. An offering from really deep inside me. The song I'm proudest of on Virgin.'
Virgin was co-produced by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, and features additional contributions from Daniel Nigro, Fabiana Palladino, Inc. No World's Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, and Blood Orange's Devonté Hynes. She released the album's lead single, 'What Was That,' last month.
Later this year, Lorde will embark on an international tour in support of Virgin. Opening concerts will be Blood Orange, the Japanese House, Nilüfer Yanya, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Jim-E Stack, and Oklou.
Although Lorde's third studio album, Solar Power, landed back in 2021, she continued to trickle out visuals for the record over the ensuing years, including videos for 'Oceanic Feeling' and 'The Path,' and she followed it with an EP of re-recorded Solar Power songs sung in Māori.

Forum Members React to Anna Wintour Stepping Down as Vogue Editor-in-Chief
After a monumental 37 years, Anna Wintour is to step down at Vogue as the magazine's long-serving editor-in-chief. As a result, Wintour is now on the hunt for a head of editorial content for the American fashion bible. Wintour will remain as global editorial director of Vogue (and will also continue as chief content officer of parent company Condé Nast). Appointed in 1988 (replacing Grace Mirabella) as Vogue EIC, the London-born editor ultimately reshaped the fashion media landscape, transforming Vogue into a cultural force. Wintour's first cover for November 1988 broke new ground. The revolutionary cover featured Israeli model Michaela Bercu in a $50 pair of Guess jeans and a heavily embellished Christian Lacroix sweater (priced at $10,000). Wintour's final issue as editor-in-chief is unknown, and a successor will be appointed in due course. 'End of an era.' [lanvinray] 'I didn't think I'd live to see the day. Rather than representing a possible renaissance for the magazine, a new EIC is probably just gonna accelerate its descent into pure irrelevancy.' [YohjiAddict] 'I feel conflicted. On one hand, I am happy to see her leave since things got really awful. On the other hand, I am afraid that whoever replaces her will be even worse.' [Avonlea] 'It will be curious trajectory Vogue US will take. But even so, she will continue to oversee how everything will work. It's bittersweet, even if it had to come someday.' [AFWQ] 'From it's being reported this won't be a big structural change. She's still overseeing the magazine (as well as the other CN titles), just not doing the day-to-day editor work. I don't see the new person having much freedom to make radical changes, they'll be lackeys like the ones in UK, France and Italy. Ultimately it's still her magazine and her decisions.' [Marc10] 'Anna isn't going anywhere, and will never be replaced. She will continue to oversee all of the Vogue's, and will hire a 'content editor', to do the day to day tasks at American Vogue. Nothing to see here.' [mepps] Share your own thoughts on Anna Wintour stepping down at Vogue and join the conversation, here.

There Will Be No Next Anna Wintour and That's Just Fine
The end of Anna Wintour's 37-year run as editor in chief of Vogue was a lot less dramatic than its beginning. Back in 1988, magazines ruled fashion, anointing people and decreeing trends, and it was a cloistered world of high drama and higher expense accounts. When Ms. Wintour was chosen to replace the legendary editor, Grace Mirabella, it was a scandal — Ms. Mirabella learned she was fired from her husband, who called after he saw it on the evening news. But when Ms. Wintour announced on June 26 that she was relinquishing the role, it felt more like a corporate governance move than a revolution that will shake the entire industry she has ruled over for decades now. For one thing, she retains her job as Vogue's global editorial director, and will stay on as chief content officer for Condé Nast. It was less her retiring than the retiring of a once-imperial, no longer so powerful title: editor in chief. Ms. Wintour will appoint a head of editorial content in her stead. That definitely sounds a lot less glamorous. What well-connected, well-brought-up young person, as Ms. Wintour was — her father was a respected editor of The London Evening Standard — dreams of being head of editorial content someday? But this was many decades before everything once rarefied got flattened into digital imagery suitable to view on your phone and became just 'content.' When Ms. Wintour started out, she was styling outfits, selecting photographers and flying off to help create impossibly gorgeous fantasies for the magazine's pages. Now low-level Vogue jobs include 'community manager,' which demands the 'ability to generate multiple revenue streams driven from content.' And 'commerce marketing editor,' the 'ideal candidate' being one who 'enjoys analyzing traffic and conversion results as much as they do creating content.' The idea that a job at Vogue — even as an assistant with duties that have included printing fliers for Ms. Wintour's missing dog and fetching her Starbucks lattes — was one 'any girl would kill for' has faded during her reign. Now, Condé Nast's former 4 Times Square headquarters is home to TikTok. The Frank Gehry-designed cafeteria still stands, but without the magic of the days when young editors might bump into exotic fashion legends like Grace Coddington at the salad bar. Yes, there are still front rows to sit in, parties to attend. But the day to day of the job is overseeing a tangle of revenue and content streams. These include social media channels, a podcast, YouTube, a website and a print magazine. The staff, once a menagerie of international nepo babies, is now largely unionized. The glory of dominating the newsstand with a carefully photographed and chosen subject has been replaced by views, followers and amorphous online 'impressions.' The idea that an Anna Wintour can dictate taste — who and what are 'in' or 'out' — remember the scene in 'The Devil Wears Prada' where the character she inspired, Miranda Priestly, lectures her assistant saying, 'It's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room.'

Lorde releases new album 'Virgin': Read her heartfelt post about the project
Lorde's new album, " Virgin," is out today and the singer is opening up about the heartfelt meaning behind the project. The "What Was That" singer shared an Instagram post on Friday and said she feels "simply crazy," explaining how the new album came to life. "For a long time an album is just a handful of word docs and Logic sessions, a couple whiteboards, a raw image from a medical scanner in an undisclosed country lol," she began. "I tried to love Virgin right the way through these stages at the same time as I was learning to love myself in my many stages of change, growth, brokenness and wholeness." She continued, "I'm still in shock and awe that so many of my heroes worked on Virgin — it has changed me collaborating with people this good." She ended her post by saying, "This album broke me apart and forged a new creature out of me. I am so proud to stand before you today as her, grateful for this beautiful life spent singing to myself and to you, for as long as you'll have me." The new album includes the singles: "What Was That," "Hammer" and "Man of the Year." Lorde co-produced the album with Jim-E Stack. This September, Lorde will embark on the Ultrasound World Tour in support of her new album. According to a press release, the tour has already sold out multiple nights at Madison Square Garden, London's O2 Arena and Kia Forum. Her tour will kick off in Austin and make stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Las Vegas as well as stops across Europe, before wrapping up in Brooklyn, New York, on December 17.
