Watch: Lorde Debuts 'Perfect Places' On The Tonight Show
The new single is one of the best tracks off Melodrama.
Lorde's epic diary confession of an album, Melodrama, was finally released on Friday and it's a nearly perfect summer album: sexy, sad and celebratory all at once.
One of the album's standout tracks, "Perfect Places," sees the 20-year-old searching for nirvana with the help of some party favors. It's an introspective look at a generation mindlessly seeking abandon at any cost, and Lorde ponders what exactly her generation is hoping to find. "All of the things we're taking / 'Cause we are young and we're ashamed / Send us to perfect places," she sings on the Jack Antonoff-produced track.
Lorde stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to debut the record's new single. Surrounded by a halo of baby's breath, the artist proved that she has one of the most dynamic voices in pop. Watch, below.
