Lorde did not aim to represent New Zealanders' view of their country in her new album - but hopes fans will recognise a slice of Aotearoa within its music.
Solar Power, Lorde's third album, was released yesterday.
Ella Yelich-O'Connor spoke to Charlotte from New York. She talks Charlotte through the new album and says she can't decide if she's finally back in her life as a pop star.

2:40 Musical Chairs: Ben Howe
Ben Howe has played many important roles in local music – there's a good chance that you’ve either heard or seen something that’s had his hand in. He’s been in bands, he’s toured acts, he’s brought us festivals like Laneway and The Other’s Way.
In this episode of Musical Chairs, Ben Howe explains how he came to run New Zealand’s most beloved and internationally known record labels. And how his association with Flying Nun harks back to the 1990s as artist in the band Superette.

4:00 The Mixtape: Roger Shepherd
Our guest on The Mixtape this week is Flying Nun Records founder Roger Shepherd.
A music fan who decided that someone should be recording the bands he loved to watch each weekend - Roger decided to begin Flying nun Records in Christchurch City in 1981.
Armed with this idea and a mere $50, Flying Nun Records went on to document one of the most diverse and interesting bodies of music in New Zealand - and, some would say, the world.
Flying Nun is one of the great rock 'n' roll stories, full of big personalities, high ideals, opportunities both seized and lost, and so much amazing music.
Rodger opens up about the early Flying Nun years, his thoughts on the label now, and chooses a great selection of Flying Nun tunes.
