Lorde Unveils New Track Perfect Places

Lorde has unveiled a new track, Perfect Places.

The song is the third, following Green Light and Liability, to be lifted from her forthcoming sophomore album, 'Melodrama', which is due to arrive on June 16 and follow up 2013’s ‘Pure Heroine’.

Introducing the track on her Facebook page, the singer-songwriter said:

"today, PERFECT PLACES is out in the world. this is a special one. i was living in new york during summer last year, writing melodrama - i'd ride across the brooklyn bridge every day, or sit on the subway uptown in the heat, then go back home to new zealand winter for a week at a time to party with my friends. my life was like a weird little etch-a-sketch i kept scribbling on and resetting. and all last summer, i couldn't shake the feeling that everyone i knew or saw was searching for something - trying to transcend the news and the screaming pavements, drinking that one drink hoping it'd get them someplace higher. this song comes from that endless cycle of evenings and the violent heat of the summer. it took us a very long time to get right, from an aching piano demo to where is it now. it's close to my heart. i hope you like it."

Lorde will return to the UK later this month for a set at Glastonbury.
