Lorde has surprise released a Solar Power companion EP called Te Ao Mārama, sung in Māori.
On the new EP, Lorde sings five songs from the album in Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous language. Proceeds from the EP will go toward New Zealand charities Forest and Bird and the Te Hua Kawariki Charitable Trust.
“Many things revealed themselves slowly to me while I was making this album, but the main realization by far was that much of my value system around caring for and listening to the natural world comes from traditional Māori principles,” Lorde wrote in a newsletter to fans. “There’s a word for it in te reo: kaitiakitanga, meaning ‘guardianship or caregiving for the sky, sea and land.'”
