put up three days ago, strongly hinting at imminent new music, wasn’t just a bum steer. Her first new music in four years has arrived in the form of “Solar Power,” a summer single that is gleefully self-conscious about being a summer single like few recent summer singles before it. She’s actuallyThe cheekiest lyric has her declaring: “Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches / Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets / I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus.
“Solar Power” will surely throw sunshine into the lives of most fans who’ve waited a whole lot of solstices for new music. And as a followup to the great “Melodrama” album, released four years ago this week, it’s about as radical a trip from darkness into pure light as Taylor Swift’s colorful “Lover” songs were after the dark “Reputation” .
Is it a case of “leave ’em wanting more,” though? After most of the song takes place to a gently strummed acoustic guitar, the beat doesn’t actually kick in till more than two minutes into a barely three-minute song, at which point we’re already through with verses and choruses and onto a “Let the Sunshine In”-style coda . It feels more like an intro to her forthcoming album than what we’ll probably end up thinking of as its main courses, or choruses.
