Oct 8, 2013This album is so refreshing amongst all the other pop albums out today. Lorde adds so much depth to already unique beats through her lyrics. It is easy to listen to the album multiple times.
-
Oct 11, 2013Easily the best album of the year, I found Lorde half a year ago when I listened to 'Royals' and got hooked instantly. Incredible artist, incredible music. A+

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 19, 2017One of the best debut in years. So well done, amazing sounds, terific songwriting and it will grow fine AF as if gets older. This was the start of Lorde, and I can't to listen everything she has to offer. Melodrama was the perfect follow up

Mar 8, 2018Pure Heroine is a very solid album, including many ideas not explored much by modern day artists. This is what alternative pop should be like. Standouts include:
-A World Alone
-Glory and Gore
-Tennis Court
-Team -
Nov 5, 2018It's unimaginable that a 16 year-old is responsible for this masterpiece. Yet it's so minimalist, it's still so great and the metaphors for what she's talking about are the best. It's about a bored and sceptic teenager.
-
Apr 10, 2021The best album of all times, her voice is so unique and incredible, the lyrics are really good, it just blows my mind
-
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.
-
Dec 29, 2013Very limit number of instruments, yet. The albums is amazing! The vocals are great, all tracks are good as well. Definitely, Lorde is the future of music!

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.
-
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.

Dec 3, 2014It's amazing to know that she was only 16 years old when she wrote this album, he's wonderful. Melodies that enchant, songs that could never be discarded. Album of the Decade, that's all.
-
Oct 29, 2015'Pure Heroine' is by far one of the best albums of the decade. This album shows the dark side of Lorde and what she has been through. Heavy bass, great lyrics and amazing production is the outcome of time well taken and a true music artist.

Jul 24, 2017este album me enamoro! cuando pense que no podia ser mejor, lorde le agrega violines a sus presentaciones en vivo! El gran futuro que dijeron que tenias esta llegando...

Apr 27, 2018it's amazing, Lorde knows the way to get attention with a single album, it's an alternative pop album but it's one of the best all the times
-
Feb 14, 2019Absolutely magical. Perfection both lyrically and artistically. Truly the only album that can rival Melodrama to this day for me. This is my favorite album and can listen to it on repeat without getting tired of it. Lorde outdid herself here.
-
Feb 19, 2019My love for this album is beyond words. Every track is written beautifully and unique, which never tire me for a listen. The lyrics shines more than anything I've seen. Lorde is truly a genius.
-
Jun 9, 2019Fabulous. From chilled out, catchy bangers like Tennis Court and Royals to A World Alone and Ribs that really make you feel something, Pure Heroine is a perfect ensemble of a teenager’s life in fabulous music, deep lyrics and a distinct and beautiful voice.

Feb 3, 2020Um clássico do pop! Só em pensar que uma adolescente de 16 anos criou uma obra prima dessas é maravilhoso...
-

Jun 16, 2014A suburban teenagers dream. Perfectly written, incomparable melodies and amazing fluidity.
Ella Marija Lani Yellich O'Connor's (Lorde) debut album is amazing. There isn't a weak song in the 10 superb ones on the record. Her and Joel Little create magic! -

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 :) -
Aug 26, 2014This is so good, i can't believe she's so young. She deserves all the success of the world. I can't stop listening to her. Pure heroine equals to pure and obviously amazing music.
-
Dec 17, 2014BEST ALBUM EVER. Lorde could show us what is really music. I loved this album since 2013 and until today I never feel tired listenin it. Simplely incredible. Everybody needs more albuns like that. Everybody should make Lorde a mirror for yourselfs.

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, -

Aug 30, 2019Excelente album , que despierta muchas emociones , el escuchar tantas experiencias adolescenciales que parecen escritas por una poeta de 60 años con muchos bestseller es magnifico para haber sido escrito todo por una quinceañera , los sonidos encajan perfectamente en un mininalismo perfecto y contundente. No se merece menos de un 10.

Mar 22, 2020Jesus Christ, this album describes so we'll the feeling of growing up on a suburb, of been a teenager
Lorde is really gifted, at 16 years old she did an album that perfectly communicates what is like to be a teenager
I have seen someone communicat emotions the way lorde does -

Dec 21, 2013Simply a precious masterpiece.
Every song grips in it's uniqueness and does not let go for a long time.
A triumph for a newly discovered talent.
All my hopes for Lorde to keep the level. -

Sep 30, 2013This album is so amazing, Lorde explored a new sound, different from other Indie artists, and the result is Pure Heroine, all the songs are catchy, I do not get tired of hearing.
-
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.

Oct 18, 2013This album is so good it is scary. From her anti-prom queen and anti-mainstream agendas to the simple yet very effective production this album is a masterpiece. Just by listening to it I feel like I know her, I can picture her town the characters in her lyrics very easily. And last but not least her vocals and very catchy choruses. This album shall be on a loop for a very longtime.

Feb 2, 2014This album is definitely one of the best albums I've heard in a while.The reason why I like this album so much is because it is so different than any other album that has come out in a while.What amazes me is Lorde's age.Her vocals are great and the production on the album is definitely on point.I would highly suggest purchasing this album and give it a try.It's pretty d*mn good.

Sep 8, 2014Lorde is an amazing artist. She will a have a great and big future. She is THE new voice of the new generation. It's crazy how much she is intelligent and mature in her creations.
-
Oct 4, 2014Amazing album! Deep and dark songs! I absolutely love her voice! It's so hard to imagine how a 17 year old made this! So excited for her next album! One of the best albums I've ever heard.

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.
-
Feb 7, 2016This Album by Lorde changed the way we look at modern music. She created a new, creative and unique sound that only a strange girl like herself could pull off. There isn't a single bad song on the album Pure Heroine and is truly addicting to listen to. Ella Yelich O'Cnnor, also known as Lorde, is a genuine artist.
-
Aug 12, 2016perfect album i love you. I am waiting for l2 "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.

-
Jun 3, 2020Pure Heroine is an astonishingly unique album. The simple instrumentals and Lorde’s beautiful voice really pop and make this album a masterpiece.

Aug 7, 2020At first it seemed a little monotonous but in general it was a different and fun experience.

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.
