Lorde’s new album Virgin is out this Friday. She’s been rolling out a few tracks from it already, including “Man Of The Year,” last week’s “Hammer,” and the lead single “What Was That,” which she debuted at an impromptu listening party in New York’s Washington Square Park that got delayed a few hours because the cops shut it down at first. In “What Was That,” Lorde sings about going to Baby’s All Right, the small and beloved Williamsburg, Brooklyn venue (whose equally-beloved founder Billy Jones sadly died of brain cancer earlier this month). And so with just a few days to go before Virgin is out, Lorde hosted a listening party at Baby’s on Sunday night where she played the album in full.
