On Wednesday (June 18), Lorde took to social media to announce the upcoming release of “Hammer,” her final single shared in advance of her highly-anticipated Virgin album drop on June 27. The post includes the track’s album art shot by Talia Chetrit, which features Lorde’s reflection repeating infinitely on bathroom mirrors. The Grammy-winning pop superstar captioned the post: “Hammer. Last song before Virgin. First song on the album. An ode to city life and horniness tbh.” Lorde didn’t give a specific release date for “Hammer,” but the track will be the third advance track released ahead of the new record, joining “What Was That” and “Man of the Year.” Virgin is released via Republic Records, and features production by Jim-E Stack, Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, Dan Nigro, and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange. “I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTED MY FEMININITY: RAW, PRIMAL, INNOCENT, ELEGANT, OPENHEARTED, SPIRITUAL, MASC,” Lorde says of her new project.
