Editorial Reviews
On 6/16/2017 Lorde will release her highly anticipated new album Melodrama. In 2013, a 16-year-old LORDE asserted herself as the voice of a generation with her debut album, Pure Heroine. The album would go triple-platinum, win two GRAMMYr Awards, and spawn the record-breaking singles, "Royals," and "Team." Melodrama features Lorde's newest massive single "Greenlight". This summer Lorde will perform at major festivals including Coachella, Governor's Ball, Bonnaroo & Osheago.

BUT I feel the need to point out the quality of this record as a fair warning to anyone who orders the deluxe edition. My first record got to Sober (track 2) and started skipping rather frequently. There are a fair share (not a ton to be honest, but enough that I noticed) of reviews on here that have the same experience I did. I think the manufacturer may have just made a bad batch or something. Not sure. But, if you do get one like this Amazon is quick to replace! I got my replacement exactly two days after like the regular prime shipping time frame. The new version works perfectly (so far, I've only played A side) and I'm very happy!
Dismiss this album if you will but the reality stands that this album cements Lorde's status as a career artist who isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
The album becomes enjoyable for me at the third from last track, "Supercut."
Up to then, I don't hear any conviction, though I know lots of people went crazy over this disc, showering it with five-starred reviews. No doubt it has great appeal, and there's more to it than what I got out of it. I might go back to it later on and, who knows, find a full set of songs I like.
For now, I haven't found anything that rocked me or brought me the slightest thrill until "Supercut," in which suddenly Lorde's conviction back.
"Supercut" rocks out with headlong, corybantic abandon. The next cut, "Liability (reprise)," is the musical, emotional culmination and center of the album. It sounds like a lot of Lorde went into it, with her finally surfaced here after having been submerged under water from the opening track.
The preceding songs-- "Green Light," "Sober," "Homemade Dynamite," "The Louvre," "Liability," "Hard Feelings/Loveless," "Sober II (Melodrama)," and "Writer in the Dark" are super-sounding, and fun for the ears. Very well executed. But I don't see how they can move or rock you except at an abstract layer. They are the sound of Lorde trying out new things with a new producer, and it's excruciating. I don't hear that she's into these tunes at all. Sounds like she's being force-marched. "Green Light," first song on the album, signals a go-ahead to a crack-up, with lots of glorious teen-love highs and teen-low misery in between. "That green light. I want it." Fine.
Until "Supercut" arrives, these first muddled tunes endlessly debate with themselves about what was going on in the romance. Was it you? Was it me? Did I love you? Did I love me? Did anyone love anyone?
"Liability" is cry of dismay for all the harm fame has caused, with a self-pitying flavor. Ditto the faux-claims to transcendence that seek to eke-out a triumph from the psyho-emotional crash-sites marked by the songs"Hard-Feelings (Loveless)," "Sober II (Melodrama)," and "Writer in the Dark."
Once to "Supercut." the artist takes a panoramic sweep over the foregoing romance that was, that dazzling legendary burnt-out, long-gone gambol with the gods of teenage tenderness.
"Supercut" cuts to the chase:
"I'm someone you maybe might love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch"
Til it comes down ,finally, to:
"In my head, I do everything right,
In my head, I forgive and don't fight."
The phrase "Forgive and don't fight" repeats over and over as the song winds forever toward a close, moving out deeper and further down into electronic static on a surging, receding surf fade-away.
"Liability (reprise)" has real soul, and it supplies ravishing Lorde harmonies to deliver the only meaningful moment of the whole Melodrama. As she sings to, seemingly a mirror, redemption showers back in gratitude.
Then comes the finale, "Perfect Places" a sarcastic paen to the "loveless generation." The wham-bang, jangling, slight-return of "Perfect Places" whispers sweetly and devoid of sincerity, "Please, another round of poison for me." (That said, the song's lyrics aren't without poignancy; it's a well put together production with a good melody.)
(Of some interest, in terms of pure pop-artist dialoguing, is how Lana del Rey, who always casts wide a sin-fin of allusions, seems to allude in her song about the Hollywood Sign, in "Lust for Life," to Lorde's "Perfect Places" and "Green Light": while, in the meantime, Lorde alludes to "Ultraviolence" in the opening chords of "Melodrama.")
030320 Update-- I went back and listended to this the other day, after much time had passed. I have a higher opinion of it now. The electonic sound concepts on it are wonderful and are a step forward from Lorde's first album. "Supercut" and "Liability" still stood out for the reasons I mentioned, the latter song being tops, I think. She is missing a great song-writing and multi-instrumentalist-musician-collaborator without Joel Little, and in the song quality shows.
Album number one sound so brilliant because of the two of them. Still, Lorde's awfully good on this record.
