If it feels like years since Lorde has released new music, it may be because it has been literal years since Lorde has released new music. The young New Zealander that could skyrocketed to both critical and commercial success with her 2013 debut LP Pure Heroine, an album that spawned the world-conquering single "Royals," but other than a single from The Hunger Games soundtrack, we haven't heard much. But good news has come in the form of a leak from Republic Records: her sophomore album will be here very, very soon.

According to the leaked image, it appears that we can expect Lorde's latest to hit our ears on March 7. This is keeping in line with her recent comments promising new work imminently, as well as a few major festival headlining gigs she booked for this summer. Whether her newest can hold up to the truly exceptional Pure Heroine remains to be seen, but the important thing is that the wait is almost over.

Revisit the video for "Royals" below.
