Aug 28, 2021Pure Heroine captura de una manera muy buena lo que es la adolescencia; esta etapa tan complicada para muchos, donde las emociones pueden llegar a abrumarnos.
-
Jul 9, 2022This album is something special. It has a true sense of identity paired with beautiful vocals. Perfect in every single aspect.
-
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".
-
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

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.
-
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.

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.
-
Oct 2, 2013Lorde is still very young, and so, yes, there are some oversights, but I am so incredibly impressed by the imagery and the mood she lays down so easily. Disturbed suburbia, too-good-to-be-true bland teenage years. What a specific thing, but it's such a triumph. Buzzcut Season is my favourite.

Nov 16, 2013I love her so much and this is a fantastic album!! Some songs sound the same but it's ok!! I love the raspiness that she brings out in her voice. She has a bright future ahead of her
-
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.

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.

Oct 16, 2015A juventude poética. Esse é o semblante do "Pure Heroine". Refrescante, porém obscuro na medida. Um som diferente, um álbum sólido do começo ao fim, onde mostra a sua proposta e não tem medo de concretiza-la.
-
May 9, 2014I love his voice very skillful, very good songs and a good pace, very good to be still very young Lyrics, Est album is great Although you name two ways, and very simple cover a little more effort would have been improved.
-
Jun 30, 2014This album is great. All (except two) songs on this album are flawless. Lorde has explored a new side of pop music and I'm a fan. I could listen to this all day - and I do.
The best songs are : Ribs, White Teeth Teens, Buzzcut Season, Bravado and Royals.
I love Lorde :) -

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.
-
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 -

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."
-
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

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.
-
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”.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sep 7, 2020te amo lorde esse álbum é surrealmente bem escrito e bem produzido,nem acredito que ela tinha 16/17 anos na época
-
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

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.
-
Aug 26, 2021Amazing album. Highlights for me are team, 400 lux, bravado and glory and gore.
-

Jun 4, 2022gets better with every listen. this album got me through middle school. still confused as to why it was split up between pure heroine and love club ep though.
-
Mar 2, 2023An album that grows in stature with every listen. Teen angst told so maturely.

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 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!
-
Oct 4, 2013I've had this on repeat for a couple of days. Lorde's debut is great and fairly unique (although I'd compare it to Lana del Rey and Florence the Machine probably). The songs are very catchy.
-
Nov 9, 2013The sound's so refreshing. It's a vacation from pounding beat and sick dubstep. Some of the lyrics are dark, but you can still notice the childish of Lorde's voice with very mature lyrics.
-
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.
-
Jun 1, 2015No está nada mal para ser su primer álbum, en especial por sus letras, que me han parecido lo mejor del álbum. El disco puede llegar a sonar en monótono en algunas ocasiones, pero tiene varias canciones que lo redimen.
-
Nov 18, 2021Can't believe she was 15 when she wrote this, 16 when it came out. 400 Lux has my heart.
-
Apr 10, 2017De mis albumes favoritos, logro adentrarme en la atmósfera fresca que tiene.
Lo único que no encaja es 'Royals' será que ya cansa y no siento nada nuevo al escucharlo en el álbum, por lo demás, fantástico, y uno de los mejores albumes alternativos contemporáneos, -
Apr 8, 2018un album increible, realmente es muy bueno. ninguna cancion sobra en este album
-
Jan 29, 2018It is crazy to think just how young Lorde was when she made this album. Great career ahead of her!

Aug 31, 2019This girl never produced bad and meaningless songs. She was just 17 and brought the storm from New Zealand.
-
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.
-
Feb 3, 2020Um clássico do pop! Só em pensar que uma adolescente de 16 anos criou uma obra prima dessas é maravilhoso...
-
Aug 7, 2020At first it seemed a little monotonous but in general it was a different and fun experience.

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
-
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.

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)

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
Mar 15, 2023For many the beginning of the alternative, for me the end of adolescence and the entrance to maturity.
-
Oct 3, 2013After listening to The Love Club EP i was expecting something awesome from Pure Heroine, what I got was a watered down Lorde ready for a broader audience, lacking the emotion that caught my attention at first. Its not a bad album, but sits besides a Lana Del Rey or Rihanna album, nothing more than a major label trying to maximize the profit from the hype around Lorde.

Nov 25, 2013Lorde is just an amazing Singer to have just 17 years old. Her style and music is so good, fresh, I love it. This album takes you to amazing sounds. 'Tennis Court' and 'Team' are one of the the best tracks, take you to new places and rythms.

Nov 27, 2013With regret, after so many listens to try to like the courageous effort by Lorde, for a new sound, I have to say, that for me, it was not moving, from any point of view I so wanted to like it, but I'm so sorry to say, I did not.
-

-
Jul 21, 2015Dragged out, repetitive, self important, and void for the most part of any musical finesse. It does however have one or two catchy tunes, but it doesn't make the whole album worth purchasing.
-
Feb 9, 2015Lorde's music is really boring. I heard Royals at the cottage on the radio and it felt like forever. Royals was the most boring song I ever heard! Lorde has bad music and avoid it unless you want to fall asleep. Still not as bad as Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, or Rebecca Black though.
-
Sep 7, 2015This album is pure heroine but a little bit boring too. I think that after hearing 4 or 5 songs of the album I'll feel exhausted and bored.I like Royals and Tenis Court but i think that this album is overrated.

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