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.
-
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.
-
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. -
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!
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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 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+

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.
-
Oct 11, 2013truly a tremendous album! every song is so well produced and catchy and the lyrics are amazing. no reason not to buy this absolute gem. all 10 songs are awesome.
-
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.
-
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.

Dec 7, 2013Really really good....Almost surpassed my expectations.My friend suggested this album to me and I am grateful to him for it. The song 'Royals' is the most catchy song of the whole album. The other songs are also very good. Hats off to Lorde!!!

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.

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.
-
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 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.

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 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.
-
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.
-

-
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.
-
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 -
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.

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 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.
-
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

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.
-
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.
-
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 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 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!!!

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+
-
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.
-
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
-
Aug 29, 2020Esse album marcou minha adolescência, composições perfeitas e reflexivas com uma produção impecável, Lorde é Lorde.

-
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...
-
Jul 25, 2017lorde gracias por este album es lo MAAAAAAAAAAAAAS INCREIBLE DEL MUNDO! tenias 16 años, podes creer?? orgullosos de este album y de melodrama, a seguir superandote!!
-
Jul 25, 2017para ser un primer album lo hiciste MUY BIEN! buzzcut season es por ahora mi cancion favorita, pero debo admitir que todas en su momento lo fueron... gracias! pure heroine 4ever!
-
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 -
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.
-
Aug 31, 2019Album incrivel, coeso e que retrata bem musicalmente as falhas e inseguranças de um adolescente.
-
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
-
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
-
Jun 21, 2018
-
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.
-
Oct 29, 2018The fact that this album was written with a few songwriters and being so young only makes it better. An impressive debut.
-
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.
-
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.
-
May 28, 2019It is a pretty solid debut album, one of the best albums by a debut artist.
-
Sep 1, 2019THE BEST DARK ALTERNATIVE ALBUM OF ALL TIME. SHE DID WHAT LANA MELANIE OR BILLIE CANT. period
-
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.

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.

Aug 28, 2020Lorde siempre dándonos arte, todo lo que ella toca se vuelve una obra maestra, sin duda la Diosa del Alternativo
-
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.
-
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 -
May 13, 2020Ok, but hear me out, Ribs this one is just a divine masterpiece, the way she wrote the whole album even for her age...
-
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.
-
Oct 23, 2021A beautiful and unique album that talks about topics that deserve more attention, like growing up and growing old. The hit "Royals" is one of my least favorite songs on the album so if you like that one it's only up from there

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.
