Lorde shares intimate photos of herself nude and makeup free while listening to music in the bath as she teases the release of new music

Lorde has raised eyebrows by sharing very intimate photos of herself listening to music in the bath.

The New Zealand singer, 27, posted four images of herself on Instagram on Wednesday, posing nude and makeup-free in a green marble bathtub surrounded by candles, Epsom salts and lotions.

With her hair soaking wet, Lorde listened to music in black headphones and wore an array of gold jewelry.

The hitmaker also sported a solemn expression as she strategically covered her modesty with her arms.

“Full immersion,” she simply captioned the post.

Fans couldn’t help but speculate that Lorde’s post was a teaser for the release of upcoming music.

“Drop the album,” one user wrote, while another added: “Drop the music, I beg!”

Elsewhere, another fan said: ‘WE ARE READY AND WAITING’, while another wrote: ‘I will patiently wait for the next album for as long as it takes. I’m glad to see you happy and thriving.’

The post is one of just two photos on Lorde’s Instagram page.

Her last post was uploaded on December 17, 2023, in which the Royals singer once again posed with headphones.

“Listening to myself,” she wrote in the caption at the time, prompting similar speculation about the release of new music.

It comes after the Grammy Award-winning songwriter debuted two new songs during her set at England’s Boardmasters Festival last August.

According to Vulturethe hitmaker played a pair of songs reportedly titled Silver Moon and Invisible Ink, although she later denied these were the final names.

Although many fans suspected that Lorde was planning to release a new album, she took to her Instagram account to reveal that she did not have a major project in the works.

She wrote, “This isn’t the start of anything out there, I just want you to know there’s a light burning inside me.”

When another fan commented that the hitmaker was trying to mislead her fanbase, she doubled down on her original denial.

“I really mean it, I just decided to get these off my laptop… but they’re not bad, are they,” she wrote.

Lorde’s most recently released album Solar Power debuted in August 2021.
