Given that pictures from the vinyl version of Lorde’s most recent album showed a close-up of a female crotch, some fans are certain the singer has given up far more of herself than they had anticipated.
Although artists frequently express their innermost feelings through their music, this goes beyond “baring all.”
The album, titled V*rgin, is scheduled for release tomorrow, June 27. For Lorde fans, it has been a long time coming since the release of her previous album, Solar Power, in 2022.
With a number of Instagram posts and videos, the singer has been building anticipation for the album’s release. This week, she played the entire album for the first time, calling it “one of the best nights of [her] life.”
It goes without saying that all of the anticipation has excited Lorde followers, but many have been caught off guard when they saw one of the images that were made public in the vinyl packaging, which some fans have already obtained.
Unquestionably, the picture shows a vgina seen through transparent plastic pants. There is just a vgina in the album; it is neither an illusion nor a trick of the light.
Although it’s unclear who owns the now-famous crotch, admirers have pieced it together and believe it belongs to Lorde.
Consequently, the g*nitals in question have been dubbed the “Lordeussy” by some.
One fan wrote: “Just got the virgin vinyl, I opened it and first thing I saw was Lorde’s hairy * hun I wasn’t ready for that jumpscare lmaooo.” Fans were stunned by the bold action.
Another Twitter user asked, “Why is Lorde’s beaver all over my timeline?”
Fans are anxious to obtain the album after the picture was made public; one fan wrote: “My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent’s house I’m scared.”
Others, on the other hand, have defended the star and the choice to use the striking image.
One fan commented: “A lot of you are being very weird about the lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. it’s just a body.”
“I’m sorry but Lorde putting her c*och on vinyl is iconic asf,” added another.
Though some fans were taken aback by the sight, Lorde’s website does include a warning on the listing for the vinyl, which reads: “12” X-ray picture disc vinyl, high gloss gatefold cover, 8 page full colour booklet, metallic silver printed inner sleeve. Parental advisory: adult images.”
It’s safe to say that Lorde has people talking, regardless of how you feel about the picture!
