After a four-year break, Lorde is back, and so are the synths. Nora and Nathan talk about her newest album, 'Virgin'; the ways it's a departure from her previous album, 'Solar Power' (1:00); the themes of gender identity and body image that she's exploring throughout the lyrics (22:43); and the songs on this record that worked less well for them (31:45).

Hosts: Nora Princiotti and Nathan Hubbard
Producer: Kaya McMullen
