The 19-year-old New Zealand-born artist has given details on her sophomore record by shutting down an insistent fan on Instagram who desperately wanted to know when she would release a new album.

“Do you think we will ever get another album or should we just give up on you as an artist?” the fan wrote.

Lorde (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor), who has released an EP ("The Love Club") and a full-length album ("Pure Heroine") in 2013, gave the impatient fan an answer:

“Give up on me if you want to! I’m an artist, I write a record when I have enough special stories to tell, and it’s all me, every melody, every lyric, not some team who just start the machine up every eighteen months like clockwork. The record is written, we’re in the production stage now. I’ve worked like a dog for a year making this thing great for you guys.”

Her enlightening comment was buried in a mysterious post of the singer looking at a frog with the caption “shooting love heart eyes at the locals.”

It’s been three years since Lorde released a record, only giving way to collaborations like “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 Soundtrack,” which she curated and included her own “Yellow Flicker Beat.” Late last year, she was featured in Disclosure’s “Magnets.”

Her album “Pure Heroine” won two Grammy Awards, and her debut single “Royals” became an international crossover hit and made Lorde the youngest solo artist to achieve a US number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1987. Its following singles include “Tennis Court,” “Team,” “No Better” and “Glory and Gore.”

There’s no tentative release date yet for the follow-up to the phenomenal “Pure Heroine,” but Lorde has been in the studio with her friend, Jack Antonoff, diligently working on the record.
