Dec 15, 2017I honestly don't see anyone giving this album much less than an 8. While not a diehard fan, Lorde demonstrates some outstanding songwriting skills. Her talent is undeniable and this album is, I think, stronger than her well-received debut. I can't wait to see what she does next, but I'm more than content to enjoy Melodrama while I wait.

Jul 7, 2019Lorde has a lyrical elegance that allows me to keep coming back, even a year after release, feeling "Melodrama's" emotional complexity.

Jun 16, 2017Felizmente Deus é maravilhoso, após 4 longos anos nos agraciou com essa obra-prima. Amém Ella Yelich-O'Connor, pode vir Grammy de Album of the Year

Jun 16, 2017Lordeee, obrigado por salvar o POP!!! Vem AOTY, vem GRAMMYS!!!
Não importa o que os haters falam, o que vemos aqui é mais um trabalho maravilhoso de uma excelente artista. Se o David Bowie disse que ela é o futuro da música, quem somos nós para discordar. Aqui está a prova de que ele estava certo, sinto apenas por ele não estar vivo para ouvir isso. -

Jun 16, 2017Pode entrar Album Of The Year, Lorde mostrando que toda a espera valeu a pena com um álbum coeso e sem fillers. Destaque pra Sober, Homemade Dynamite, Liability e Perfect Places.
-
Jul 14, 2017Simply the most well rounded pop album new(ish) on the market. Extremely catchy, groovy, and full of positive vibes. By far her best work and will likely go down as the best album of her career. Crazy to think she was already huge and then came out with something even better. Well done, Lorde.
-
Jul 21, 2017The best pop album of 2017 so far. Lorde songwriting and - this time - song production is totally amazing. Her inspirations seems to flow from Robyn to Bjork, in an spectacular sophomore project. The almost-four years of waiting were totally worth it.
-
Nov 5, 2017If there is still doubt that it is the album of the year then rethink, it is absurdly well done and certainly one of the best albums of this decade, praise is few for this masterpiece.

Jun 16, 2017Album do ano felizmente, quem discordar é fã da Lana que quer tentar boicotar o hinário, parem de dar notas vermelhas, e se continuarem o album do ano ainda sim não se abalará.

Jun 16, 2017In this new album proved that with few doses of melancholy and some mix of dance pop with piano and voice you can make a great album. The new songs bring a girl more honest and vulnerable than the hard girl from pure heroine.
-
Jun 16, 2017Very well projected album. "Melodrama" has everything, from a drama record to a party record.
A lot of emotions in this record, that keeps us attached to it. Good job Ella. -
Jun 16, 2017This album is simply amazing.Lorde's lyrics are BETTER than ever,her vulnerability on the album is beautiful,the production is smooth.I never expected to say that but she outdid PH
-
Jul 25, 2017A cohesive and well-crafted album, a huge step up from Pure Heroine. The feeling this album gives off is universal and everyone can relate to at least one point of the album. Oops...! Lorde did it again.
-
Jun 16, 2017Such an amazing album
Its incredible how talent is Lorde , The Louvre is my favorite song soo farr , LORDE MAKE MY WIGG FLEWWW TO ANOTHER CONTINENT , GAWD IM SNATCHED! -

May 29, 2019Perfect album from first track to last. Break-up album but also about a young adult trying to find her place in adult world.
-
Jul 24, 2017Definitely this album is better than her last one, I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Recommended songs: Supercut, Hard Feelings/Loveless, Sober, Perfect Places and of course the lead single Green Light. Every song is perfect
-
Feb 15, 2019o mais perto que uma artista pop chegou da perfeição. não apenas o melhor album de 2017, e sim deste século.
-
Jun 16, 2017Lirica e sonoramente, o álbum é incrível, bem escrito, as letras são profundas, ela realmente conseguiu se fixar como uma artista de grande renome no cenário internacional. Digno de ser chamado de álbum do ano, um pop inovador e que merece atenção. Meus parabéns à Lorde.
-
Jul 23, 2018More than one year since it was released, and I'm still addicted. I'm so proud of her. Best album of 2017
-
Jun 22, 2017Esse álbum é MARAVILHOSO, Lorde mudou a sonoridade (comparando com PH) e ficou muito bom, as letras são perfeitas, a produção nesse álbum está no ponto, e não tem uma faixa ruim ou que possa ser considerada filler.
Meu top 3 no álbum fica com: Sober II (Melodrama), Perfect Places e The Louvre. Menção especial a Liability que é uma das músicas mais profundas que já ouvi -

Jun 27, 2017At first i thought that Pure Heroine, was way better because for me it was more relatable, but the construction of Melodrama it's just flawless. Supercut speaks for my mind, that song makes me feel full of something beautifully abstract.

Jun 16, 2017An amazing sophomore effort from Lorde. You can appreciate the way she's matured, the album sounds very cohesive and there's no track that could be left off. The Louvre and Writer In The Dark are both highlights and probably the best songs of her career besides Ribs. 10/10.
-
Aug 17, 2017It is raw and cathartic. Written with such passion and mirrored emotions. She vividly translates all of it in lyrics and rhythm. It is everything that an album called melodrama should be.
-
Jun 16, 2017
-
Jun 27, 2017I have to be honest, I really thought Lorde wouldn't come with something as good as Pure Heroine, but it turned out I was wrong. The album is incredible, the songs connect to each other perfectly. You can see clearly what she means with it. Without a doubt one of the best albums of the decade.
-
Nov 18, 2021Greatest non-movie/musical album I've ever heard. Writer in the Dark and Liability
-
Apr 4, 2018This is her best album, it shows how much she has matured as an artist and musician.
-
Jul 21, 2017This album is the best of 2017; Melodrama is a magic travel from the beggining to the end. The melodrama tells about his life after fame, parties and fun as well as his deepest side of the lack of love.
-
Jun 16, 2017É maravilhoso, Lorde conseguiu mostrar um amadurecimento incrível. Impressionante o conceito simples, mas ao mesmo tempo genial do álbum e como as faixas contam uma história em sequência que pode acontecer com qualquer pessoa. Eu, mais uma vez, tiro meu chapéu pra Lorde, um dos maiores talentos que surgiram neste século. Alguém dá mais alguns Grammys pra ela?!
-
Jun 25, 2017não poderia esperar menos da dona do pop, que vem mostrando grande talento musical desde o pure heroine. é ainda mais perceptível sua capacidade de se expressar de forma que o público jovem tanto se identifique.

Jun 16, 2017SHE DID THAT! LORDE regresó con una joya musical. Sin duda los 4 años valieron la pena. Writer in the Dark y Supercut son mis favoritas. Green Light, Sober y Perfect Places no se quedan atrás.

Jul 21, 2017'Melodrama' is a masterpiece, a concept album exploring a teenager's intense feeling towards falling in love, breaking up, partying, drug, alcohol, etc.
-
Jun 16, 2017After listening to Melodrama, I've concluded that Lorde just can't make bad music. Melodrama is one step after every pop album released these period with wonderful and creative melodies! Another album and Lorde just can't let me down.

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.
-
Jun 16, 2017Uno de los mejores discos del año, Lorde muestra como batallar contra la soledad y decepciones y en lo personal me identifico mucho con esas canciones, como Sober y Liability.

Jun 30, 2017This is a very well cohesive piece of art. I guess she is going to make her name nowadays and she is amazing. This album is everything. Well done, Lorde. Keep blessing us with **** good music.
-
Jun 16, 2017Melodrama manages to maintain Lorde's uniquely introspective songwriting even though its subject matter at times feels completely different. This is being lauded as the best pop record of 2017 and it's very easy to see why. It doesn't do what producers and record labels think a breakup or party album should do, rather it comes from the mind of a clever 20 year old.
-
Jun 16, 2017Best pop album of the year. Lorde delivered again with 11 set of songs with great production while she still wrote the lyrics so brutally honest (Green Light, Hard Feelings/loveless, liability, perfect places).
-
Sep 15, 2017
-
Oct 15, 2018The cohesion between the well crafted songs make this album an incredible experience. Although Lorde is young, she has already created a complete masterpiece. And her voice adds up to this experience to make us feel like there is no one else that can do pop as good as her.
-
Jun 16, 2017Honestly an amazing album, the lyrics and production flows joy into my veins and lifts me up with it's beautiful melodies. The louvre is a masterpiece, Writer in The Dark, Supercut are all beautiful and songs like Homemade Dynamite and Green Light are sure to be hits. Best album in years!
-
Aug 27, 2018O melhor álbum que eu já ouvi na minha vida! Com certeza esse disco ficará para história e será um trabalho atemporal nunca mais esquecido. Suas produções e letras são altamente coesos e me deram arrepios de algo tão bom como esse.
-
Mar 9, 2018Even though you may not like many pop albums ,you will probably like Melodrama. There are unique things you can only find in this album.

Jun 11, 2019What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Lorde perfectly captures the feeling of an entire generation, a generation lost in a world alone.
-
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 16, 2017Beautiful record, with the highs and lows of an emotional night. Bowie vibes shine through with songs like Writer in the dark, and a hint of Robin laced lavishly around many trakcs, such as Green Light and Supercut.
Supercut is really something isn't it? -
Oct 5, 2018Incredible, cohesive and gripping. Lorde's 11-track journeys the listener through young adult love, and heartbreak in the frame of a conceptual house party. Each line feels succinct with emotion, thanks to her vocal delivery as well as her writing skills. This is the voice of the generation.
-
Jun 16, 2017Beautiful, cohesive album from start to finish with ghosts of her "old style" still coming through here. No filler. Lorde is a legend in the making. Daughter of a poet, truly. It's what she deserves.
-
Jul 25, 2017I'm very proud and happy for this album, it's absolutely amazing and I loved every track. I was in a state of exctase, it sure is the album of the year. As david bowie has already said: LORDE IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC.
-
Jun 16, 2017Melodrama es realmente un álbum asombroso. Esta vez vemos una Lorde amando y comprometiendo su ritmo a nuevos rumbos, cada canción es un acierto, sin rellenos ni huecos, por mucho el mejor álbum del 2017 hasta ahora.
-
Jun 16, 2017I love this album an amazing sophomore effort from Lorde. You can appreciate the way she's matured, the album sounds very cohesive and there's no track that could be left off. The Louvre and Writer In The Dark are both highlights and probably the best songs of her career besides Ribs
-
Jun 16, 2017Lorde captures emotions like none other. Her second album is a masterful study of being a young woman, a sleek and humid pop record full of grief and hedonism, crafted with the utmost care and wisdom. Lorde has created the defining pop album of the decade. Green Light and Liability captures the mature vulnerability of adolescence.
-
Jun 17, 2017Lorde delivers an impeccable sophomore-album that is as textually clever as it is emotional. With producers Jack Antonoff and Joel Little she has created a modern and futuristic pop-album that is going to be played for years to come.
-
Oct 31, 2020In my opinion the best album of 2017 and one of the best of all time. Deserved so much more love at the Grammys.
-
Oct 2, 2017she's so **** amazing, i have no words for this amazing unbelievable album... lorde is one of the greatest artist in all times... it's a revolutionary pop.
-
Jun 17, 2017Lorde amadurece e nos traz um trabalho incrivel. Melodrama fala sobre os temas mais maduros, ela deixa de lado seu lado adolecente e traz seu lado adulto nesse novo album. Com batidas maravilhosas e vocais que te deixam em extase, melodrama chegou ,junto com alguns albuns, para salvar a musica de 2017 do pop generico.

Jun 20, 2017Best pop album of 2017 so far. All tracks together tell a story and are no fillers. Seems best produced and with better pop arranges than Pure Heroine.
Best: The Louvre, Supercut, Liability (Reprise) -
Jun 16, 2017this is just amazing, Lorde has grown up an her music too, but now its more fun, more
Variety of rhythms from the beggining to the end, green light is a masterpiece that makes you feel alive, it's the happiest song i ever heard from lorde, and then "Liability" with a beautiful lyric that makes you cry tough, and the whoie album shows a really hard work , ¡well done lorde! -
Oct 13, 2017Um dos melhores álbuns de 2017, Melodrama nos leva a outra dimensão, um mundo complexo habitado por Lorde, mas que se identificamos em algumas maneiras. A produção musical e o amadurecimento da cantora neozelandesa só evidencia sua relevância a cada disco lançado.
-
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 16, 2017Unapologetically pop. Unapologetically Lorde. A marvel of cohesive storytelling, unique and nuanced lyrics, and slick producing. This is what the pop music of our time will be remembered as.

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, 2017A 20 years old girl from New Zealand has made a record like this, So elegant, so mature but yet so youthful.I'm completly blown away, problably one of the best pop albums in years.

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.
