“Green Light” is expected to be the first single off Lorde’s upcoming sophomore record, title as yet unannounced (although her teaser website, www.imwaitingforit.com, is suggestively titled “M*******A”). Its video director, Grant Singer, is best-known for his work with artists like Sky Ferreira and the Weeknd.
In recent days, Lorde has shared snippets of new music via a TV commercial, social media, and billboards in Auckland. She’ll perform on Saturday Night Live on March 7.
