Lorde Celebrates One-Year ‘Virgin’ Anniversary With Mega-Drop of 49 Demos

The singer's new XRAYS site also features photos, notes and artwork ideas.

Lorde pulled back the curtain on the making of her 2025 album Virgin on Friday with a massive one-year anniversary celebration that included a personal essay and the posting of 49 demos from the album’s sessions.

“On Sunday night I was putting my clothes away and realised Virgin had been out for almost a year. I decided something had to be done about that,” she wrote in a lengthy essay to fans. “To be honest I haven’t really known how to talk about Virgin since it came out. I’d thought I was accustomed and even a bit desensitised to marketing and commodifying my feelings at this point in my life, but sharing Virgin felt raw and exposing in a new way.* I interviewed poorly, couldn’t write here, haven’t posted much. “
