FUSE TV - 'Green Light': Lorde's Comeback Video & Single Are Here—Plus Her Album Art & Title

Our Lorde and savior Ella Yelich-O'Connor is back with "Green Light," in music video and single form. The first taste of Melodrama, the 20-year-old New Zealander's follow-up to 2013's Pure Heroine, is a super interesting turn, trafficking in familiar layered harmonies and sonic depth but quickly turning into a peppy piano anthem for the majority. The album is due sometime this summer.

The video, featuring Lorde cathartically singing and dancing to "Green Light" in a city, is directed by Grant Singer. The visionary has worked with Taylor SwiftZayn MalikFutureAriana Grande and Skrillex, and has handled many striking visuals for The Weeknd, including "Starboy" and "Can't Feel My Face."

On Wednesday, Lorde wrote on Twitter of "Green Light":

"i am so proud of this song. it's very different, and kinda unexpected. it's complex and funny and sad and joyous and it'll make you DANCE. it's the first chapter of a story i'm gonna tell you, the story of the last 2 wild, fluorescent years of my life. this is where we begin."

Check out the Melodrama cover art:
