Jun 16, 2017when I first listened to this album, I immediately burst into tears.
a masterpiece, heartbroken.
It's surely going to be the album of the year.
Lorde's voice makes everything magic. -

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!
-
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.
-
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 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 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.

Jun 16, 2017ALBUM OF THE YEAR. She did that! She saved 2017 and this album is AMAZING.Deserves grammy.I died I am so happy for this.Lorde's back is Powefull She killed it!

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 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 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, 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, 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.

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? -
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!
-
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, 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 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.
-
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 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, 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, 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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
