Mar 14, 2021This us a great debut from the new Zealand native. The dark pop songs and skilled lyricism create a purely original output that will stand the test of time and act as a precursor of the greatness that is to come. From the cross over hits to the scathing critiques of pop culture this is a zietgist of an entire generation. Favourites: 400lux,buzzcut season, world alone
-
Nov 13, 2013Probably the best album of 2013. Lorde's sound can not be matched as she proves at 16 she is a true original. Download: Glory and Gore, Team, Tennis Court, 400 Lux.
-
May 8, 2014To put it simply, Pure Heroin is rather too stripped down for it to be a total mind-blowing pop album, however what Pure Heroin IS in fact is an album of meaningful lyrics and great tunes at their own steady pace that Lorde decides to take. And at no point, does it overdo itself.
-
Sep 17, 2020Es increíble que Lorde a su corta edad por aquel entonces haya hecho un álbum tan sólido y bien estructurado, sin embargo, ninguna canción logró capturarme del todo.
-
Jan 11, 2014I can't believe i didn't hear this album until today.
Very smart lyrics. The minimalist music gives room for Lorde to showcase her singing, which is a pleasure to the ears. Not to mention that, in its own right, the music itself is pretty gorgeous.
Of course, some tracks are forgettable. But the majority here is amazing tracks. This is easily one of the best albums released in 2013. -

Oct 29, 2018The fact that this album was written with a few songwriters and being so young only makes it better. An impressive debut.

Jun 5, 2020Pure Heroine is beautiful and honest. This album represents Lorde's teenage life and teenage love. I love this album. The lyrics, the sound, the production... all are amazing.
-
Nov 26, 2013At just 16 years old, Lorde has all the credibility Lana Del Rey wished one day or spend. No need to dress with vintage image and scream desperate for his men in their tracks. Lorde slaps in the face of the music industry in ''Royals'' and sports in rhyming ''Tennis Court''. Definitely, Lorde is the future of music.
-
Sep 4, 2020Lorde chega como um novo estilo 'dark' e assim movimenta a indústria ganhando seu primeiro grammy, Pure Heroine é pura cultura, ela nos leva ao novo mundo da música sem ligar pra luxos e dinheiro pois como a própria diz 'isso não é pra sempre', faixas favoritas: Royals, Tennis Court, Team, White Teeth Teens e The Love Club.
-
Sep 24, 2018"Pure Heroine" é um trabalho muito bom feito por Lorde e pelo seu produtor e uma "pequena" prova do talento de Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor. As letras de Lorde são pensativas, maduras, agradáveis e inteligentes. Sem dúvida, um dos melhores álbuns de 2013.
-
Apr 8, 2018un album increible, realmente es muy bueno. ninguna cancion sobra en este album

Dec 16, 2014Best indie album for me, Lord is a great artist and still has much to show us, and this debut album was a great start, is not a tedious album and all the songs have quality.
Highlights: Tennis Court and Bravado
Lows: Bitind Down and Swigin Party -
May 4, 2015ocalists in popular music, but Lorde is easily the most vocally striking and lyrically thought-provoking. Pure Heroine is honest and addictive. amoooooo
-
Sep 2, 2020un álbum perfecto, y adelantado a sus años. lorde es realmente una muy buena cantautora, sabe escribir y componer. las canciones tiene un tono oscuro y es lo que hace al álbum bueno. nunca había escuchado un álbum igual a ese y eso lo hace realmente destacable. mis canciones favoritas son 400 lux, tennis court y buzzcut season
-
Jan 2, 2016Pure Heroine é um dos melhores álbuns de 2013. Ele é espetacular. Quase todas as músicas desse álbum são perfeitas, só tendo algumas bem "mais ou menos".
Pontos altos: A World Alone, Glory And Glore, Tennis Court
Pontos baixos: Biting Down, Swingin Party, White Teeth Teens -
Aug 23, 2019Дебютный альбом, Грэмми, первые строчки в чартах, качество - это все про этот релиз. Кто в таком раннем возрасте написал бы такую качественную работу? Конечно же Лорд.
-
May 4, 2016Lorde states "We live in cities you'll never see on screen / not vert pretty but we sure know how to run things" in the song "Team" With a profusion of wonderful tracks "Royals" and "Team" in particular, this is one of the most essential albums of the 2010s decade. She creates "a different kind of buzz."
-
Jul 21, 2018Each of the songs on this album are pleasant to the ear. Lorde makes an iconic debut and screams that it is a legend of alternative music and not just for placing the single lead of this work in # 1 of multiple charts.
-
Apr 6, 2014It might be considered cool to not like Lorde and be a "non-conformist' but in reality, Pure Heroine is a very well made album and proves Lorde's un-denying talent as a young artist. It's a nice stray from the generic pop music we all hate.
-
Dec 30, 2013This album is very good but the music is sometimes weird. Weird is not always a good thing. However, it is nice that someone is trying something original and is actually decent, (However, I don't like how this girl is mouthing off to other artists)
-
Mar 15, 2023For many the beginning of the alternative, for me the end of adolescence and the entrance to maturity.

Jun 10, 2017Lorde is worthy of her two Grammy wins. Tracks like "Royals", "Team", "Buzzcut Season" and "Tennis Court" capture Ella Yelich-O'Connor's maturely child-like persona.
-
Feb 28, 2014I love this album. Lorde is definitely one of my favorite musicians. Her voice is very relaxing and distinct and her songwriting is very expressive, although it may take some time to realize what she is talking about in her songs.
-

Mar 2, 2023An album that grows in stature with every listen. Teen angst told so maturely.

Jun 20, 2014Esse album é maravilhoso,o segundo melhor de 2013(só perde pra ARTPOP) que o sucessor de Pure Heroine seja igualmente maravilhoso e Lorde/Ella não me descepcione.
-
Dec 15, 2014Lorde, Lorde, Lorde... Hay Lorde... eres sorprendente, sacas tu primer album y ¡WOW! nos demuestras lo madura y profesional que puede ser una chica de 18 años como cantante... Letras profundas y un pegadizo ritmo pop minimalistico, excelente trabajo!
-

Sep 9, 2022For a new artist, it is very talented to make such an album. Obviously, critics underestimated the album, and even the picky David Bowie said that she was "the future of music".
-
Jan 29, 2018It is crazy to think just how young Lorde was when she made this album. Great career ahead of her!
-
Jun 23, 2015Best album of 2013. So young, but so smart! Lorde explores things that most part of the actual teenage-singers don't care, and things that some "super artists" (by fans) seems to can't talk about, because they're too busy with their own selfishness. Lorde is mature, with beautiful and intelligent songs. The future of music is here, it's name is Lorde.
-
Aug 31, 2019This girl never produced bad and meaningless songs. She was just 17 and brought the storm from New Zealand.
-
Jun 26, 2017Simplemente perfecto. Adoro el estilo de Lorde, sus letras, sus sonidos, todo en este álbum es genial cuando lo escuché por primera vez fue una total revelación. Gracias a Ella por darnos tanto arte condensado en un solo álbum.
-
Sep 1, 2017Very good start for a debut album, back in 2013 i remember hearing Royals in the radio, it was my jam, but then Team and Tennis Court got a place in my heart. It is very catchy and honest, really good
-
Aug 17, 2018In a long time there had not appeared an album that will present concepts as interesting and never covered. And with a lyric that becomes too profound and poetic prose, comparable with what "Madame Bovary" did more than a century ago. A vital album in these times.
-
Aug 26, 2021Amazing album. Highlights for me are team, 400 lux, bravado and glory and gore.
-
Oct 2, 2013Pure Heroine is good, but I don't like every song. Team is notably the best. I give Lorde credit for bringing out such a unique sound, even if to somewhat mixed results. Look forward to new stuff.
-

Aug 21, 2022She was 15 when she started crafting this and the fact that it changed music forever has a lot to say about Ella's talent. 10/10 album
-

-
May 4, 2014ELA ESCREVE MUITO BEM, ELA E UM GÊNIO... CONSEGUI SE EXPRESSAR EM ÁLBUM COMPLETO E CHEIO DE HITS, NÃO QUE EU GOSTE DA SUA PERSONALIDADE... MAS ELA É UMA ÓTIMA ESCRITORA.
-
Nov 9, 2013Uno de los mejores albums que he escuchado este año, sin duda Lorde se lució, es un disco con 10 canciones que no aburren, lleno de magia pura que soprende con sus sonidos que cautivan y a la vez llenan.
-
Jul 7, 2017Fantastic debut for Lorde, I love every song on this album. For someone so young (which is strange for me to say because I'm younger) she has more talent than most other people out there. Her lyrics has deeper subtext, than most other songs and I just can't get it enough of it. A+
-
Sep 7, 2020te amo lorde esse álbum é surrealmente bem escrito e bem produzido,nem acredito que ela tinha 16/17 anos na época
-
May 7, 2021Lorde's debut album is a beautiful work. It shows the simplicity and grandeur of the performer, even though she is from a God-forsaken New Zealand town. Lorde demonstrates the power of his thinking, reasoning about all sorts of topics at such a young age. The sound of some tracks has failed, while the text component is made at the highest level.
-

Jun 20, 2017Esta es la voz adolescente donde da vida a lo que se vive en cada momento de la adolescencia cuando adoleces todo tu entorno y no sientes que encajas y intentas llamar la atención del publico solo para que sepan de de ti. Eso es PURE HEROINE.
-
Apr 8, 2021um perfeito álbum de estreia! Lorde mesmo com pouca idade mostrou o quão madura é através de suas letras neste disco maravilhoso, envelheceu como um bom vinho, me sinto honrado e MUITO MUITO sortudo em poder ouvir, amo demais. SAUDADES LORDE! WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!
-
Feb 21, 2016I always liked this album, but I'm only now coming to truly appreciate it. I really can't believe she was only 16 when this came out. A cohesive, engaging album.
-
Feb 15, 2019Stunning. Really different from the typical pop record. The writing is hauntingly great I've never heard a POP record with so much great lyrical content along with being so sonic-ally adventurous. Superb!!!
-
Sep 30, 2015simplesmente divino. "Pure Heroine" é um dos melhores albuns que eu já ouvi na minha vida, o album fala sobre problemas sócias. é um cd com composições incríveis, no qual lorde teve envolvimento em todas. um album forte e de personalidade, você consegue sentir sinceridade em cada composição. parabéns Lorde.
-
Nov 18, 2021Can't believe she was 15 when she wrote this, 16 when it came out. 400 Lux has my heart.

Dec 21, 2013Pure Heroine is a display of 10 beautifully written and performed tracks; it is an artistic showcase of pure talent that you would not expect from a 16 year old. It is almost like as if Lorde invented a new sound, which is a major stand-out from other mainstream artists. Stand-outs are Royals (undoubtedly) and Tennis Court. Massive congratulations to Lorde for her recent success.
-
May 4, 2014I think this album would be even more superb if she let her vocals expand more. It seems like Ella is capable of having a strong voice as she demonstrates in "Royals". Either way, the songs are meaningful, relatable to a teenager like me, and the singer behind it all has an awesome personality. Diamond in the rough for pop music.

May 27, 2019pure heroine its such a paradise for musical production, all the musics complete themselves, Lorde did an amazing work selecting them in the middle of you highest pitch of fame with “Royals”.
-
Sep 1, 2019THE BEST DARK ALTERNATIVE ALBUM OF ALL TIME. SHE DID WHAT LANA MELANIE OR BILLIE CANT. period

Oct 1, 2013This album is probably the best of the year. Lorde is in a genre of her own and I don't think that she can be compared to any other artist out there today.

May 31, 2014"Pure Heroine" by Lorde is just a fantastic album. Every song on this album is very relatable and songs that you can sing-along to, and Lorde's voice is just captivating.
-
Nov 15, 2017muito bom esse album, as letras são profundas e muito maduras, mesmo a lorde sendo uma adolescente quando escreveu, rainha prodígio da música e cristal lapidado do alternativo
-
Aug 28, 2020Lorde siempre dándonos arte, todo lo que ella toca se vuelve una obra maestra, sin duda la Diosa del Alternativo
-
Oct 10, 2013The very simple and minimalistic beats mix extremely well with her voice. Its good to see someone singing from the heart and not conforming to the mainstream. Good to see pop is headed in a good direction.

Jun 10, 2017Não pulo nenhuma faixa desse álbum, eu amo muito os instrumentais dele, e eu amo a voz robótica de Tennis Court, que inclusive é uma das minhas favoritas. A Lorde é maravilhosa.
-
Feb 10, 2020Just WOW. She's so ahead of her time and WOW. She's the best artist of our generation. Joel Little's productions were great, the lyrics were great. Deserved a Grammy Award and deserved to be nominated for Album of the Year.
-
Jul 24, 2020i swear for god i can feel every single lyric from this album so deeply in my heart. lorde wrote these songs thinking about me.
-
Oct 25, 2013Very interesting, very likable, Lorde makes her mark with this album. Very mature and serious, these songs are nice to listen to if you want a relaxing time. These songs have a deeper meaning to them than most of what is released these days. In a world full of hits and misses, this album is definitely a hit.
-
Jun 8, 2017Sonido fresco con letras interesantes y una voz muy pero el álbum suena repetitivo y al final ya llegas cansado de la monotonía del sonido del material.
-
Aug 31, 2019Album incrivel, coeso e que retrata bem musicalmente as falhas e inseguranças de um adolescente.
-
Dec 24, 2019It's so powerful to hear this for the first time, the way she composes and relates with her music is definitely something else. It's ravishing and healing, never boring even when you feel comfortable. I admire Lorde with all my heart and this album just never gets old.

Apr 11, 2022Este es uno de los mejores debut albums en toda la industria, la gente dice que el album es básico y aburrido pero si se dan cuenta ella tenia 12 años cuando empezó en esto y como una niña de abajo de 15 años podría crear tan buen album?? Lorde es increíble
-
May 27, 2016Songs like "Tennis Curt", "Royals", "400 Lux", "Glory and Gore", "The Love Club" and more, are really hard to get them out of the head. I hope something much better in her next work.

Mar 19, 2015Pure Heroine is by far a perfect mix of sounds, not only for Royals, which is just a demonstration of what she could do. It's incredible how a 16 year-old girl could have such a vision about things and life. Masterpiece.

Feb 4, 2014It’s the music here, not the sharp-toothed lyricism, which sets the record so far apart from the rest of the field.

Q MagazineNov 22, 2013It isn't perfect but it adds up to an intimidatingly assured opening shot from a major new talent. [Dec 2013, p.108]

Nov 1, 2013Whilst Lorde’s world creates its own incredibly distinctive atmosphere, it feels accessible and open to maturing.
