Jul 21, 2017This album is pure art. Lorde did an amazing job in Melodrama. Everything in it is very different and unique. One of my favourites albums from this year so far.
-
Jun 24, 2017Lorde's sophomore album showcases her magnificent lyricism, artistic development, and idiosyncratic production. Every track is astounding and not a total disappointment. Melodrama is surely going to be included in the 2017 accolades.

Jun 16, 2017inanilmaz bir albüm
dort yil boyunca beklememize degen bir album oldu gelecek album icin cok heyecanliyim. pure heroine esintileri var demisti fakat ben o hissi almadim, cok sira dişi bir album bravo. -
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.
-
Jul 15, 2017This is an album that the Lorde knew how to dare easily, some songs have the facility to have a perfect finish, but others lack a finish that is very important, as is the case of Sober. Intelligent music that deserves more quality.
-
Jul 16, 2017Masterful Album, didn't expect anything less from this true artisit, an artist that stands out from other generic pop artist out today. Well done Ella.
-
Jul 18, 2017great album........................................................................................................................................................................
-
Jul 21, 2017This is one of the best albums I have heard this year. Lorde has a very good ability to showcase emotions, and this is a very personal and sad album. It does have its low moments, like on Perfect Places, but its a great album nevertheless.
-
Jul 21, 2017Such an amazing album it is. I love how she creates such artistic songs in the album. This album is definitely 10-worthy. I love it so much. Totally would recommend it.
-
Jul 21, 2017An amazing work, with great sounds and a nice atmosphere only Lorde can create. After 4 years she came back and it was worth he wait. I really recommend it.
-
Jul 24, 2017A truly masterpiece, everything on the right place and all the songs tells a story, full of deep feelings put on a way that everyone can identify themselves. Melodrama is a proof that release records every year is not necessary, the best way is take a breath and let the inspiration happen.

Jul 25, 2017At first I didn´t like Lorde, but I gave an opportunity to 'Melodrama', and boy did I take the right decision! Marvelous instrumental, beautiful voice, lyrics, concept... Is there anything this album doesn´t have?
-
Jul 25, 2017The most well arranged and meaningful album this year, possibly only second to DAMN. I love Lorde and her work. Hope she wins all the accolades she deserves this year.
-
Jul 26, 2017I'm obsessed with this album exactly.Everyone should listen Melodrama! Lorde is the future of music. Such an incredible work. Every title, every tune and every song is magical and too meaningful for me.
-
Apr 9, 2021One of the best albums I have ever listened too can’t wait to see what she might do in L3
-
Jun 16, 2017The album is so overrated. But I can still see the album winning several Grammys in the next year's Academy Awards - the judges just love these types of music.

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 17, 2017Lorde is bak and stronger than ever with such masterpiece. This kind of Pop is pure, new and fresh to everyone. She putted a lot of effort on the song writing and the production for this album.
-
Jul 25, 2017LANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DEL REEEY. LUST FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR LIFE. Melodramaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
-
Jul 24, 2017Incredible album from start to finish. I've been loving Pure Heroine since it came out in 2013 but I actually love this album even more. Outstanding lyrics, vocals and production. I feel that just like Pure Heroine I'll be listening to this album for years to come and still enjoying it just as much.
-
Jul 24, 2017La transición de supercut a liability reprise es una de los momentos mas maravillosos de este album. Tiene canciones para bailar, y otras para relajarte, por lo que podes escucharlo en cualquier momento! las letras tan personales lo hacen magnifico. ninguna otra persona que no fuera ella podria cantarlo. sin duda mejoro muchisimo, y para bien!
-
Jul 25, 2017A very good album, Lord surprised me as much as the other critics love the new sounds, their lyrics and above all their voice that shows that it has improved a lot with the passage of the years, the wait for a new album and the Wait for this one had a great success.
-
Jul 26, 2017Best pop album of 2017 so far. All tracks together tell a story. Seems well produced and with better arranges and music than Pure Heroine.
Best: The Louvre, Supercut, Hard Feelings/Loveless -
Jun 19, 2017Defitivamente uma OBRA-PRIMA! Com um álbum extremamente coeso, bem produzido e de extrema qualidade, Lorde mostra o porque é o futuro da música! Em resumo, melhor álbum pop da década!

Jun 23, 2017I just don't get the hype about this album....Ive listened to it 3 times and all I hear is a average to good pop album by a very average vocalist. This is definitely not exciting music to my ears.

Jun 30, 2017The album really follow the drama way, good job. It's sad and catchy, but somehow do not feel original for me, the lyrics are deep but too much pop. Good piano arranges.
Highlights: Sober, Liability.
Veredict: too overrated, good, catchy, but not a masterpiece in any way. -
Jun 16, 2017Didn't feel comfortable while hearing this album at all. Lorde chose the wrong lead single with "Green Light", the worst 2016 lookalike song I've ever heard. But there's good songs in the album by the way, definitely not something I would recommend.
-
Jun 19, 2017Way overrated. This album is less cohesive, as the songs dabble in different rhithms doing little to no effort to melt them into believable song structures, instead they're separated in songs or different verses. The only saving grace of this album is it's good lyric writing and Lorde's voice which is the true star, even when sung over ill-inspired beats and cheap Italo disco pianos.
-
Jun 16, 2017There's only like 5 good songs on this album the rest second half is weak and it doesn't delivers in what Pure Heroine did. It has great instrumentals tho.
-
Jun 16, 2017Espero sinceramente mais. O álbum é bom com algumas trilhas super, mas no saldo final não deixa esse gosto de querer ouvir novamente, novamente, novamente ...
-
Jun 18, 2017This is one of the most boring albums of the 2017. I don't like it because is the same all the album.And a lot of people don't like it (you can see it on the charts).
-
Jun 16, 2017certamente um trabalho bom mais nada de novo na insdustria musical , melhor album de lorde sem duvidas, porém não é o melhor de 2017. Nota 3 para o Álbum!
-

Aug 11, 2019I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ALBUM. It's like what literally come out from a free, drunk but also miserable teenager. Every little thing in this album makes me feel truly alive.
-
Jul 21, 2017Debo decir que me esperaba más de ella, en este álbum la única canción que podría rescatar es "Sober." Espero que ella tome en cuenta que debe mejorar un poco más.
-
Jul 25, 2017Muy sobrevalorado, Uso los ritmos de Team y Green Light en casi todo el album, lo unico que cambia son las liricas de las canciones, paso de hacer buen material a lo tipico comercial, el album habla solo de fiestas y hombres, y hacer un album completo relacionado a eso se torna aburrido e insipido, al parecer se le acabaron las ideas.
-
Jun 16, 2017The album is dull and uninspired, I don’t get why critics keep hyping up basic music artist. Nothing new or creative about the album. She has potential as a songwriter but this album sounds like the typical ‘indie pop girl’ music of the last 7 years.
The songs all have a similar sound, just like her last album except this time there seems to be a bit of Born to Die copying going on. -
Jun 17, 2017To be honest I didn't like tha album at all, quite overrated, didn't feel anything at all, but as always stuff like that will win several Grammy's because critics like it
-

-
Jun 16, 2017Melodrama un álbum con muy buenos ritmos pero solo queda en eso ya que su voz en sí no varía a no ser de Green Light , ya que las demás canciones son lo mismo solo con diferentes sonidos de fondo.
-
Jun 16, 2017The album lacks creativity and good songs. Wish she would take more inspiration from Britney Spears next time. Really a bad album. Green Lights and Supercut are far superior from the rest. Overall a childish and poor effort.
-
Sep 3, 2019I didn't liked this album. I don't see emotions. This album isn't make sense for the name
-
Feb 17, 2019boring album... very generic both melody and lyrics .. vocals are avaregae.. very overrated album . I did not enjoy this album . highly forgettable songs.

Jun 16, 2017Realmente muito bom, porém inferior ao Pure Heroine. Além disso, contém algumas contradições ao seu último álbum. Ademais a Lorde não deixa de ser uma grande artista.

Jul 25, 2017Definitely the album of the year. Always be yourself, Ella. I love this woman. Always so beautiful and cute and happy. Made me so happy. Thanks for the love Lorde.
-
Jul 26, 2017The best album and singer/writer in the decade, pure talent in one young amazing girl, I love you lorde and MELODRAMA FOREVER, all the song of the album are unique and make me feel stranger things, I love the production of all the song, the lyrics amd obviously the singer.
-
Jul 26, 2017Best album of the year. Each song is beautiful and the vocals are amazing. No stupid fillers like certain someone's album have in abundant quantity. She is going to define the music in this gen, like she has done before.
-
Jul 26, 2017I love this album so mucccch. Absolutely brilliant and honest. Every song connects with your soul and mind. She deserves a grammy for this. Wish I had a friend like Lorde.
-
Jul 26, 2017Ella Lani Yelich O'Connor is the best musician that NZ will ever produce and we will ever again likely witness. I hope everyone realizes the brilliance of this woman rather than getting into nonsensical fandom arguments.
-
Jul 26, 2017Ella is the best singer I've heard. Absolutely the best alt artist ever. Such original work that touches the soul. Hope she goes on like this and becomes the voice of our gen.
-
Jul 26, 2017Definitely one of the greatest breakup albums. I love this. I just wish her score would go back to 9 like it was. What the hell Lana fans. Support your own heroine. Don't sabotage the work of our queen.
-

Jul 26, 2017In love with this album. Well arranged, short sweet and perfect. Nothing is on Lorde'sLevel right now, except maybe Kendrick. Wish for more of such beautiful experiences again.
-
Jul 26, 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.
-
Jul 26, 2017Verry good album. Gives such a chill and great vibe. 100% recommend 10/10 from Lorde. Her songwriting is outta this world man. Love all the songs. AOTY
-
Jul 26, 2017A significant step-up from her already accomplished debut record, and I appreciate how, like on 'Pure Heroine,' Lorde incorporates hip hop into some of her songs.
Highlights include 'Green Light,' 'Homemade Dynamite,' 'The Louvre,' and 'Perfect Places'. -
Jul 27, 2017
-
Jul 29, 2017This is the best masterpiece of Lorde. Maybe surpass to Pure Heroine, but really everything that she write is hard, thrilling, admirable. And the sound of the music, it's magical, powerful, and with the lyric all the album make you feel stirring emotion. The best.
-
Aug 1, 2017Lorde, se nota realmente que has madurado y de qué forma. Es innegable que esta vez te saliste de tu zona de confort para crear algo tan único, bailable e intenso.
Melodrama, demuestra dedicación y compromiso con la música.
Vale pena decir, que es uno de los mejores álbum del año. -
Sep 1, 2017Good album, good lyrics. I don't like the combination of Hard feeling/Loveless. Would have been better to have separate the two with Loveless as a interlude
Best songs : Melodrama, Green light, Sober I & II, Liability (reprise) -

-
Aug 8, 2019Easily the most artful and diverse album of 2017, this Melodrama should have easily won Album of the Year at the Grammy awards. Lorde does what only she can do in this magical, dreamy interpretation of what it’s like to transition from childhood to adulthood.
-
Aug 24, 2019atingiu o apse da perfeição com essa bíblia, lorde mostrou que tem capacidade de transformar imagens em sons
-
Sep 5, 2019Melodrama 11 tracks of excellence.
the album showcases Lorde's lyrical abilities to tell a story with all of its details without coming off as if she's trying too hard... the Jack Antonoff production definitely made this piece of art much more enjoyable, This album didn't age a bit after 2 years of release, i really don't have any criticism... -
Sep 5, 2019Lorde's songwriting in this album is a hit or miss, she attempts to make things "deep" but it doesn't work . Her scratchy vocals aren't the best, but the album does have about 3 goods songs. I think she attempted to make this album as "sad" ass possible but went overboard.
-
Dec 18, 2019Fraquinho, inconsistente, enjoativo. Poderia ser melhor se não tivesse o Royals como antecessor. Causando uma imensa frustração com esse lançamento.
-
Sep 3, 2019extremamente genérico, qualquer álbum pop que você já ouviu na vida, tem no melodrama, sonoridade com a mesma porcaria de sempre, tenho nojo, old que é superestimado, gays cult que compram roupinha na renner costumam elogiar essa bomba, argh
-
Jul 25, 2020Absolutely a masterpiece deserve a Grammy work lorde is so talented omg I respect her and she is a model for our youngsters
-
Jan 10, 2020This album is nothing but PERFECTION. Each song is deeply beautiful and well produced. Excellent lyrics. Should've won AOTY.
-
Mar 28, 2020Album of the century.
This is definitely what we can call a bible of pop, she created a path for every other artist like what Dua Lipa & Selena Gomez are doing today, this album deserved even more acclaim and definitely more success.
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.
