Lorde has written an emotional letter to fans, calling herself a “newborn adult” on her 20th birthday. The “Royals” singer, who burst onto the scene with her debut album, Pure Heroine, which chronicled the pitfalls of fame and served as an instant album for rebellion against celebrity materialism.

In the letter, the singer describes her forthcoming album as a chronicle of moving to New York and the heartbreak that can come with it.
“I wrote a record about it, all of it, so much more than what I’ve written down here, and I’m in new york getting it done,” she wrote in the letter. “this record - well, this one is about what comes next.”
She further posted to Facebook, “The big day is not tomorrow, or even next month realistically, but soon. I know you understand. The party is about to start. I am about to show you the new world.”
