Jun 16, 2017The best pop album of the year so far. The lyricism, the production, the melodies, the MUSIC. This is what pop music has been missing this year and Lorde comes back to give the children this amazing meal. Amazing.
-
Jun 16, 2017Lorde, Lorde, Lorde. What a beautiful masterpiece you have produced. Melodrama is pop perfection, and one of the best albums released so far this year. Green Light, Sober, Liability and Perfect Places were great tasters of what the album was to offer and we are not disappointed. Lorde has matured as an artist and this is an extreme step up from 2013 debut 'Pure Heroine'.

Jul 7, 2017I don't like every song on this album, but still I can't rate this album less than 10 , because the songs I like here are so... fantastic that they just slay me. For me, this is the best album I've listened to in 2017 yet and it's much better than Pure Heroine.
fav tracks: Liability, Hard Feelings/Loveless, Melodrama, Supercut -

Jun 16, 2017No more words. Grammy awards committees must feel good right now as they dont need to discuss and argue for which album is going to be the album of the year anymore. Lorde has already taken it by this flawless album.
-
Jun 16, 2017ALBUM OF THE YEAR. It's perfect, her voice, her lyrics, the rhythms, Homemade Dynamite needs video. And my favorite song was The Louvre. All the album it's perfect

Jun 16, 2017Cuando va a dejar de sorprender esta mujer? Nos hemos dado cuenta de que su capacida llega más allá de interpretar una canción electrónica. David Bowie no se equivocó, ella es el futuro de la música.
-
Jun 16, 2017Lorde proves she is the connoisseur of pop once again, setting trends for the following years in pop.
She is a wunderkind who turned into a grown genius. 10/10 -
Jun 25, 2017so far, one of the best albums that Ive ever heard this year, good vibes accomplish her quietly voice, Love her lyrics and her low whispers, made me chill,
-
Jun 29, 2017Everybody is talking about this because the world knows it worth.
Melodrama is without a doubt the best album released on this year, Its is melancholic and so strong at the same time, something really hard to create, but so enjoyable and unforgettable.
Top tracks are all of the songs, so give it one, two, a thousand chances. -
Jun 19, 2017Mesmo fazendo músicas sobre amores e festas, a Lorde conseguiu juntar tudo isso com composições maravilhosas e vocais marcantes. Todas as músicas são ótimas, com destaque para The Louvre e Sober. Pensei que seria difícil ela fazer um álbum melhor que o Pure Heroine, mas felizmente ela consegui, Lorde maravilhosa! AOTY is coming.
-
Feb 10, 2020So cool. So great. So unique. So amazing. There is no way to describe that the album's quality, she's just so ahead of her time. But she messed up with the singles. There were better choices, but who cares when the album is so good? Aged like fine wine. A really fine wine.
-
Jun 19, 2017One of the best things I've ever heard in years. This is such a masterpiece! Iconic and so, so, so, so sweet! Lorde made it. There's tracks like Supercut, Writer In The Dark, The Louvre that made me cry. This is royalty!
-
Jun 16, 2017talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it... this album is all those things. But actuality it's a **** good album.
-
Jun 16, 2017A powerful portrait of loneliness, heartbreak, youthful nights and young love. It's really an amazing follow up, and a beautiful album on it´s own. Gonna be immersed in the Melodrama world for a while. (9.8/10)
-
Jun 16, 2017GOD I DIED. Elegent work. One of the best albums of this year. My queen.You killed everyone.I have great emotions from this work. You should be proud of yourself. It's great. Everyone will appreciate the album, both listeners and critics. You deserve this triumph
-
Jun 16, 2017A very cohesive and well-arranged album. It deserves all the acclaims it's been getting so far. Despite the album being great as a whole, there are not many stand-out tracks or single-worthy songs that you would enjoy listening on the radio. Still, an amazing effort by lorde who writes and co-produces ALL her songs herself.
-
Jun 16, 2017OMG! SHE REALLY DID THAT. I can only say this: This is album of the year 100%. And deserves a grammy 100%. Pure Heroine was beautiful but this is more beautiful than Pure Heroine.
-
Jun 16, 2017People say that "Melodrama" is just a shadow of PH, but it`s not. There is one word to try to describe this album is incredible. Lorde created the best pop/alternative album of decade. I`m in shock of album songs so far. Just masterpiece. No words.

Jun 19, 2017Não é novidade nenhuma que a Lorde é um ícone global e acaba de lançar o álbum do ano, fada cheirosa que compõe e produz o pório trabalho, não precisa de um batalhão de colaboradores, letras coesas e melodia perfeita, um hinário.
-
Jun 16, 2017Genius. Old soul reaches down to the roots and makes you understand her experience. That is art at it's most raw. Pull the tears and pathos from a jaded spirit. In 30 years no one will have any meaningful idea what you mean when you say Taylor Swift. They will know Ella.

Eterna patrona de Anal del 62, nunca decepcionanda y 0 monótona, cierta bagresita no se relaciona :*** sigue asi mi lordesita ya queremas ver como sales en tur. Todas las canciones de MeloARTE son artísimas. Ojalá y ganes un grammy maniuska. jejeje salu2 a secta pap
-
Jun 16, 2017Her music is unique,she is a very good songwriter.I'm happy to see beautiful&different music like that in 2017. This is a masterpiece and I feel Björk vibes sometimes in Melodrama.This is what I've waited from the Next Legend of Alternative.
-
Jun 16, 2017A phenomenal album that perfectly frames the life of the average young adult. Melodrama tells a tale of love, loss and self-care in such a refreshing and contemporary way that undoubtedly resonate for years to come.

Jun 16, 2017Yes. While Katy Perry and Halsey provided their underwhelming albums, Lorde is the only artist right now who provided her fans with what they asked for. Great album, a masterpiece! Album of the year so far
-
Jun 17, 2017Honestly just pure art, amazing lyrically and sonically. All the songs are a 10 out of 10.
Lorde has outdone herself with this album. Just listen to it yourself and you'll love it. -
Jun 16, 2017I'm in a daze! This album is just mind-blowing and so unique, I got the same thrills as I had when Pure Heroine came out. Probably Melodrama is the best album of year 17 so far!
-

Jul 4, 2017This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. I really like the balance between up-tempo songs and the slower songs like Liability and Writer In The Dark.

Jun 23, 2017This brilliant and mature album lets us discover an existential side of Lorde who is no longer just some loud-mouthed kid against the world. Lorde has evolved and so has her music. Best album of 2017 - hands down.
-
Jun 16, 2017Very good album, easily the best pop album of 2017 and one of the best too. Lorde put her hearts through sad songs and some happy songs too, accompanied with great production too.
-
Jun 16, 2017The best alternative album of the year ! I think it will be #1 on Billboard Hot 200 from the first week. Lorde is one of the most original artists nowadays.
-
Jun 16, 2017the best album of 2017 so far. She deserves a grammy for that. I love the lyrics and the beats. She is a legend and I lover and her songs so so much..

Jun 16, 2017Good music grows on you. Excellent original sounds are unfamiliar at first, as it is meant to be. Here is an album that is both original and extremely beautiful: it is emotional yet relevant with clean production and hypnotic, profound composition.
-
Jun 16, 2017After almost 4-year break Lorde truly delivers us one of best 2017 records. Bringing us Writer in the dark - Kate Bush-esque ballad she states her new career highlight among with The Louvre. Not to forget that Lorde writes and co-produces all the songs herself. Truly deserved 10/10. Congratulations.
-
Jun 16, 2017Lorde has grown so much from her debut to this album. It's a very cohesive album and you can tell the huge effort she and her team put into the album by it's lyric-writing all the way to the production.
-
Jun 16, 2017The álbum is amazing, from the end to The beginning. After all this time without Lorde she give us what we want and definitely this is one of The best pop albums of the 2017. Bravo Melodrama.
-
Jun 16, 2017This is a masterpiece by Lorde. The way she mixes up the instrumentals is revolutionary and of tip-top quality. It is a record that makes you travel around beautiful landscapes and fleshes out amazing colors.
Evey song is so visual and colorful in its own way. This is ART. PERFECTION. -
Jun 16, 2017This is, probably, perfect. One of the best albums of the years makes us see the colors that Lorde see while listen to the songs. I think there's no bad music in the whole album. She's ready to make (more) history than ever.
-

Jun 16, 2017Is an incredible album, perhaps the best of what is going of the year, the sound that shows is beautiful a great change with respect to PH, sound, lyrics and more developed voice make this record a jewel and the best of his career.
-
Jun 16, 2017Well constructed and with an incredible concept, Lorde really stepped up from her previous releases. The way some tracks blend with the other and some Greenlight notes you can hear on Supercut make the album something to listen from start to end, never skipping a track. Her best work so far, and one of the best albums this year. Shortly saying: David Bowie was right.
-
Jun 16, 2017Puro, intenso, criativo e novo. Lorde faz muito bem sempre, do começo ao fim. Podemos sempre esperar cada vez mais e mais, ela entrega. Ou seja, valeu a espera.
-
Jun 16, 2017For sure this masterpiece is the best album of 2017. So far. "We told you this was melodrama"! Best tracks: Green Light, Sober, Sober II, The Louvre, Perfect Places!

-
Jun 16, 2017Lorde's new album is what every album strives to be. It's experimental and fresh without being disjoint and uncohesive. Every song seems to leap off the album and really draw you into her world leading it to definitely be the best album of the year.
-

Jun 16, 2017Um dos melhores álbuns desse ano, com toda certeza. Veio para concretizar o que Bowie já havia dito. Um trabalho limpo, com faixas sólidas e com um ótimo fechamento. A espera de quatro anos valeu à pena, Lorde veio, literalmente, acabar com nossas vidas.

Jun 19, 2017Com apenas 20 anos, Lorde conseguiu magistralmente depois de longos 4 anos entregar um álbum coeso e sem erros, talvez posso arriscar dizer que é um álbum "perfeito". Com certeza, o melhor lançamento do ano até agora.
-
Jun 16, 2017Lord, this is a masterpiece, every song is filled with meaning and emotion, she managed to convey this through music, the album surpassed so many expectations. In my opinion this is a unique album in which you can feel so many emotions and moods that you can dance and sink. All that she creates is something special and unique art. Thank you, Ella.
Went to nirvana -

-
Jun 16, 2017An atmosphere of Kate Bush and Bjork but without losing the essence, now mature of the Lord. I hope Melodrama is the big winner of the night at the Grammy's 2018.

Jun 17, 2017Such beautiful and ethereal music. It is such a personal album and the lyrics hit you hard. But Lorde takes you by the hand and shows you everything she's been through, and you feel it- everything. And then she says, "but it's going to be ok".
-

Jun 17, 2017In Melodrama, Lorde delivers a strong and mature sophomore album, a hard task given the "Royal" phenomenon.
Her Sharp and witty songwritting remains her strong suit, making it clear that despite the change of producer, is her in control of her career. -
Jun 17, 2017this certainly is the best album of the year, It deserves all the acclaims, the critics are awesome and she did her thing. Best songs: Sober, Homemade Dynamite and The Louvre

Awards & Rankings
-
Jul 10, 2017There 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.
-
Q MagazineJul 6, 2017Lorde's biggest achievement is retaining her emotional insight into herself and her generation despite her utterly transformed life. [Aug 2017, p.100]
-
Jul 6, 2017Still 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.
