Lorde is finally back, as Virgin, the New Zealand superstar’s first album in nearly four years, officially released on Friday.

Lorde looks back on a decade of growing up in public with her exhilarating and liberating fourth album, 'Virgin.'

Patience is a virtue, a fact that fans of New Zealand-born pop phenomenon Lorde have learned time and time again throughout her career. But luckily, patience is no longer required when it comes to the singer's newest full-length project.
