    A aura introspectiva de Melodrama faz com que suas intensas composições somadas ao talento vocal de Lorde criem um universo sonoro plural, porém coeso.

    The album is a description of emotions through the lens of feelings in solitude. A true masterpiece that is hard to compare with another piece of work.

    Sh*t, a few months after I've heard that album, and really I LOVED THIS **** ALBUM. Lorde! You're a queen you really deserved more than a others artists, I don't know why Melodrama don't have a 100 critic, Pure Heroin... Is better too but don't have the potential to be the greatest album of Lorde, now we just want a new album, 3 years waiting for her, we won't be tired of that queen.

    Well those great whites they have big teeth
    Oh they bite u
    Thought u said that you would always be in love, but your not in love no more Well I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my life
    Well only I'll be seeing you wherever I go Well only I'll be seeing you dont every rode (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it)
    Cause only I'll come get my things but I can't let go
    And I'll always try to get my things and just let go (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it) (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it) (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it)

    Sober
    ( I've spent my life) (I've spent my life )
    (I've spent my life) (I've spent my life)
    Oh God i'm clear out of air in my lungs
    It's all gone say a not so long it's time we dance with the truth
    Move along with the grove (yeah)
    I'm sleeping through all the days and by the story so long

    But my hips have misjudged now let's get to now the ticks will u stay with me
    Go to stray with me King and Queen of the weekend
    Ain't a pill that can touch our ground (But will we do when we're sober)

    Homemade dynamite A couple rebel top gun pilots flying with no where to be Dont know u super well but I think that u might be the same as me
    Behave abnormally Let's let things come out of the woodworks
    Our rules, our dreams we blunt
    Throwing **** up with Homemade Dynamite Our friends our kids We get inspired Throwing **** up with Homemade Dynamite I get ur friend to drive but he can hardly see
    Well end up painted on the rode writing chrome
    All the broken glass sparkling I guess we are partying So let's let things come out of the wood works
    Our rules our dreams blowing **** up with Homemade Dynamite Now u know it's really gonna blow ploosh

    The Louvre
    Our summer slipped us Underneath her rung
    Our days and nights are Perfume with obsession Half of my wardrobe is on ur bedroom floor
    I am ur sweetheart Psychopathic crutch
    Drink up ur moment Still I cant get enough I over think ur punctuation too
    Not ur fault just a thing that my mind do
    Rush set the beginning I get caught up just for a minute
    Well love ur the one to blame a situating u hear the violence Put the phone to my chest Broadcast the boom boom boom and make um all dance to em
    Broadcast the boom boom boom and make em all dance to it
    I see progressions I call and u come through Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with u
    But we're the greatest They'll hang us in the loop
    Down the back but who cares still the loop

    Liability Baby really hurt me crying down the taxi, He dont wanna know me Says he made the the big mistake dancing in my storm
    Says it was poison so I guess I'll go home into the arms of the girl that I love The only love I haven't screwed up She so hard to please but shes a forest fore
    They say ur as little mich for me
    Ur a liability Ur a little mich for me
    So they pull back make other plans I understand I'm liability
    Make u wilderness make u leave Im q lottle much for everyone Hard Feelings/Loveless Please could u be tender when I was so close to u Please give it a minute before we admit that we're through Guess this is the winner Hard feelings It's so what they call hard feelings of life God wish I believed you when u told me this was my home I light all the candles got flowers for all my rooms I care for my self the way I used to care about you These days We kiss and we keep busy The day day goes after midnight Hard feelings it's so what they call hard feelings of life Thi is my favorite tape Bet u wanna RIP my heart out Bet u wanna skip my calls now Guess what I'd like that cause I'm gonna mess ur life up gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out For LOVELESS Generation LOVELESS Generation I'm **** with our lovers heads generation Wiriter in the Dark Break the news, you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe Supercut In my head, I play a supercut of us All the magic we gave off All the love we had and lost And in my head The visions never stop These ribbons wrap me up But    … Expand

    Melodrama para mi significa mucho, el trabajo de Lorde es especial, este álbum es muy artístico, empezando con green light, cautivo mi corazón, y terminando con perfect places. Las canciones intermedias de Melodrama no se quedan atrás, Lorde supo poner todo su empeño y sufrimiento en líricas perfectas, todo funciona bien, es un mar de emociones y llanto, alabado sea melodrama.

I thought 1989 was the one for the 2010s but Melodrama has come for the crown, quality-wise. Not only did Jack Antonoff finally not ruin an album with his stale production but Lorde also served with the intimate feeling and specificity she conveys through her lyrics.

    From the first line to the last, Lorde makes sure that her age leaves it’s print on her 11-track collection. Titled “Melodrama”, this album sums up what it feels like: burning through your late teens and leaping into adulthood. From doing her make up in somebody else’s car, to being hung in The Louvre, and looking for perfect places, Ella takes you on a magical, mysterious experienceFrom the first line to the last, Lorde makes sure that her age leaves it’s print on her 11-track collection. Titled “Melodrama”, this album sums up what it feels like: burning through your late teens and leaping into adulthood. From doing her make up in somebody else’s car, to being hung in The Louvre, and looking for perfect places, Ella takes you on a magical, mysterious experience through the wonderful twists and turns of her mind.

    The opening track, “Green Light”, should only be heard while blasted on speakers, while you feel the base thumping along with your heart, to prep you for the roller-coaster coming your way. Lorde’s song writing is top-notch through the whole body of work, which is an element missing in lots of today’s most releases. It is worth mentioning the she wrote the whole album by herself, with only some help from her producer, Jack Antonoff. Some of the lyrical highlights are “Liability”, the somber ballad, written in the back of a taxi, inspired by Rihanna’s mini-track “Higher”; “So I guess I'll go home into the arms of the girl that I love. The only love I haven't screwed up. She's so hard to please but she's a forest fire. I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance, we slow dance in the living room, but all that a stranger would see, is one girl swaying alone, stroking her cheek." Lorde fools us for a second, leading us to think she’s coming out, only to reveal that she’s actually the one she sings about. Another highlight is in the up-beat, youthful track, “Homemade Dynamite”, where Lorde describes a dreadful scene so artistically and beautifully, making you forget for a second that it’s a car crash scene; “We'll end up painted on the road, red and chrome all the broken glass sparkling.” Jack Antonoff and Lorde created this album while living together, crammed in a little corner of Jack’s house, in their own mini-studio, and you can tell that, by feeling the intimacy of the tracks, and that gut-feeling you get going through “Writer In the Dark”, and energy-soar while blasting “Supercut”
    The titular track, Sober II (Melodrama), is probably one of the most genius songs ever written.Starting off as a piece you’d hear in a musical, Lorde depicts the dismay of an after-party, after getting to know a room for it’s darkness and then the lights are on, but then a trap beat takes over and Lorde makes it gracefully through these untested waters, exposing today’s world for all it’s horrific terrors.
    If you wanted to fit Melodrama in a category, or describe it’s sound, it has to be one of it’s own, and it’ll probably end up on top. Lorde ends her album with an open question, “what the **** are perfect places, anyway?” and perhaps she answered herself by creating Melodrama, a perfect place of sound and musical intelligence for music lovers.

    ‘Melodrama’ consegue capturar emoções, e criar uma atmosfera belíssima, de forma excepcional. Álbum coeso, inteligente, articulado e bem produzido. Lorde - junto com o produtor Jack Antonoff - conseguiu transimitir as frustrações de uma jovem que descobre o mundo e as emoções tanto dela, quanto das pessoas que a cercam.

Álbum coeso, inteligente, articulado e bem produzido. Lorde - junto com o produtor Jack Antonoff - conseguiu transimitir as frustrações de uma jovem que descobre o mundo e as emoções tanto dela, quanto das pessoas que a cercam. Guiado por um piano que acompanha grande parte do álbum, a produção das músicas é um grande destaque. Isso porque o conteúdo verbalizado, e a instrumentalização estão totalmente vinculados. Em músicas como ‘Perfect Places’ e “Writer in the dark’, os sentimentos da cantora são expressos não apenas na letra, mas também na forma como ela canta e, principalmente, na produção das músicas. Tudo isso, cria relações entre as músicas, e a Lorde faz um jogo de emoções. Escrever sobre sentimentos e, ao mesmo tempo, brincar com as palavras e com sons, pode ser uma tarefa meio difícil. Mas Lorde consegue fazer isso de forma brilhante. A jovem consegue escrever sobre amor, solidão, e quebra de expectativas, fazendo com que o público se comova e converse com as músicas. A produção das músicas também merece ser destacada. Jack Antonoff - um dos grandes nomes entre produtores de música pop - fez um trabalho impecável com as produções. As músicas conseguem transmitir momentos tensos, momentos mais introspectivos, apenas com as produções. Além disso, é claro, consegue transportar o ouvinte para o universo da cantora. Fazendo-o mergulhar nesse mundo melodramático. Portanto, ‘Melodrama’ é um álbum único, e convida os ouvintes para uma grande experiência. É como um verdadeiro mergulho nas emoções. Mergulho feito com letras marcantes, com uma voz que transmite emoções, e com uma linda produção. Fazendo desse álbum, inteligente, nada repetitivo, diferente e, até mesmo, experimental, em certos pontos. Mostranto de forma poética essa construção pessoal de um sujeito e sua relação com o mundo. Sujeito, muitas vezes, confuso, ambíguo, festeiro, alegre, e triste. ‘Melodrama’ faz esse retrato extremamente mutável e, apesar da voz da cantora não ser de grande potência vocal, o álbum é belíssimo e torna-se um marco na discografia da cantora.… Expand

    Четыре года ожидания абсолютно стоили того, что мы имеем в итоге. Лорд создала действительно удивительный альбом и, по крайней мере для меня, лучший в 2017 году.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredible piece of artwork created by the Kiwi Ella Yellich aka Lorde and Jack Antonoff. Its complexity and versatility amazes me. It takes several listens to understand how good Melodrama is. All of its sounds and colors are just a reflection of how much it was put into making this album. Truly deserved Album of the Year Grammy.… Expand

    A maneira que o álbum se conecta entre as letras e melodias de maneira tão sutil, e ao mesmo tempo impactante e com um gigantesco peso emocional é linda. Tudo parece ter seu encaixe perfeito, é inspirador e "eye-opening". Demorei algum tempo até apreciar essa obra, e me arrependo amargamente disso.

    This is definitely more than music. This is a way of interpreting things. This is a way to spit out all of your naked emotions. The production is on point. The lyrics are amazing. The album as a whole body of work is amazing. This will be difficult to top.

The great imagery allows the audience to truly visualize her breakup and how she intend the album to be portrayed. You can really see each song turn into a movie scene in your head with the detailed lyrics. Definitely should’ve won album of the year… Expand

    One of the most important albums to date. Lorde does a flawless job of breathing life into her art and relating it so well to the human experience. The classy style of this record speaks to generations about growing up mixed with heartbreak. Lorde is the best songwriter of this generation and is excellent at pouring herself into her work. This is, in my opinion, the best album ever made.

    There are no gimmicks. There’s nothing screaming for acceptance. Melodrama is a raw, real album under its sparkly clean production. One written for the masses but able to resonate with each individual listener.

    Still only 20 years old, Lorde could have been forgiven for floundering under the weight of expectation. Instead she’s reasserted her status as today’s ultimate alt-pop artist with a record that balances the contemporary with the classic in typically immaculate style.
