Anyone who's seen Ari Aster's Midsommar knows it's beautifully filmed in a stunning location with gorgeous wardrobe...and it's scary AF. It also apparently lends itself to great visuals for Lorde's "Solar Power."
YouTuber leandroxcx mashed up the song with clips from the movie and the final product may as well be a trailer for the film. It makes sense considering Lorde teased the song with a video called "solstice" and said she was "conjuring that slight sort of cult leader" in her upcoming album of the same name. One YouTube commenter even admitted that they thought of Midsommar when they watched the "Solar Power" music video.
"When making this album I did a deep-dive into ’60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album," the pop star said in a statement.
If you haven't seen the horror flick yet and plan to, "Solar Power by Lorde but it's Midsommar" might spoil some things for you. Now that you've been warned, watch the mashup above.
Solar Power is slated for an August 20 release. Aside from its title track, Lorde's also teased the album with "Stoned At The Nail Salon" and "Mood Ring."
