Lorde has revealed each of her albums relate to a different drug she was taking at the time she created them.
The 25-year-old, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, told the October issue of Vogue that for her first album Pure Heroine it was alcohol, and she was taking MDMA when she wrote her highly acclaimed second album Melodrama.
She smoked a lot of cannabis while making new LP Solar Power, telling The New York Times her latest music is one of her ‘great weed albums’.

When asked if her lyrics and music videos included references to LSD, she revealed she’d actually gone in another direction.
‘Well, I thought I was going to make this big acid record, but I don’t think it was an acid album,’ she said.
‘I had one bad acid experience in this album. And I was like, “Man, it’s a weed album.” It’s one of my great weed albums.’
