In a press release, Lorde revealed that her upcoming third album, titled Solar Power, will be out on August 20.

“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors,” she shared. “In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”

The album won’t be released on a regular CD though. Instead, Lorde has opted to release the record on a disc-less, eco-conscious CD alternative called a “Music Box,” which is designed to minimize the carbon footprint of the new album.

Each Music Box will include additional visual content, handwritten notes, exclusive photos and a download card; the card will let customers access the album, two exclusive bonus tracks and other “special surprises” to be announced later.

“I decided early on in the process of making this album that I also wanted to create an environmentally kind, forward-thinking alternative to the CD,” Lorde says. “I wanted this Music Box product to be similar in size, shape and price to a CD, to live alongside it in a retail environment, but be something which stands apart and that’s committed to the evolving nature of a modern album.”

In addition to the new format album, Lorde also shared the dates for her upcoming tour to celebrate the album. They go on sale to the general public on June 25, and it will kick off on April 3.
