We've Got the Release Date For Lorde's New Music

The singer just dropped a cryptic snippet on New Zealand television

We've got a date for the release of the latest Lorde single—as well as the tiniest of snippets of what it might sound like.

In a cryptic TV ad, shown only in her home country of New Zealand, the singer offered up a date: this Friday. That's March 3 in New Zealand, and March 2 in the USA.

The snippet played simultaneously across all of New Zealand's major television channels at around 7.15 PM last night, making an enigmatic entrance partway through the country's evening TV viewing. It shows Lorde in the back seat of a car, sipping a cup of soda. In the background, there's music playing.
