Lorde has revealed that she put a one-week ban on reading reviews and responses to her new album ‘Solar Power’.The singer’s third album came out earlier this month (August 20), and she spoke to NME in a new Big Read interview about the record, its collaborators and more.During the chat, she spoke of how she wants to care for herself and her mental wellbeing, so made sure she didn’t read any responses to the album in the first week following its release.“I can only look at food websites because I don’t want to see myself anywhere,” she told NME, while admitting that her younger self wouldn’t have possessed that same self-restraint.“Baby me would have just eaten the sugar and gotten the headache, whereas now I’m gonna take care of myself,”.
