Exciting news, people: Lorde is joining Grimmy on the on Tuesday! While we're still completely obsessed with single Green Light and newest track Liability, we can only hope that Lorde will have some more news about her upcoming album, Melodrama.
Until then, here's everything we know about Melodrama so far...

Highlights of Lorde's set at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow 2014
Counting. Down. The. Days.
It has 11 tracks
So that’s nine we haven’t heard yet, get innnnn.
However there were way more than that to choose from
Answering fans’ questions on Twitter, Lorde wrote, “We have a ton of amazing leftover songs that just didn’t quite fit inside the world of Melodrama.” But can we hear them, anyway?
Jack Antonoff had a lot to do with it
The Bleachers and fun. singer, who has previously written tracks for Taylor Swift, is listed as a writer and producer on both Green Light and Liability – and it seems there’s plenty more where those came from.
Writing on Twitter after dropping Liability, Lorde said, “Jack truly pushed me to a place I’d never been with this album.” That doesn’t sound like he only worked on two tracks, now, does it? And, when you consider Jack spent his birthday last year in the studio with Lorde, we’d say they must have had a lot of work to do.
Lorde鈥檚 synaesthesia influenced the album art colours
Like Pharrell and Charli XCX, Lorde has synaesthesia, which – in her case – means sounds and music will trigger her to see or feel certain colours.
With Melodrama, the violet, midnight blue and pink she saw when making the album have gone into its artwork, which was painted by artist Sam McKinniss.
There are no featured artists on Melodrama
So that’s 11 songs of pure Lorde? Count. Us. In.
We鈥檒l be hearing more songs soon
Lorde promised fans on Twitter that a “lethal dose” of Melodrama was “coming soon”. She also mentioned “beautiful insane moments” and that the next song to drop is her favourite of all-time.
As if we weren’t excited enough.
