Lorde - Melodrama

[POP!]

Perhaps, I'm PUSHING IT a bit since it is only three years old this year, but it does already feel a bit of one of the best slept on classic pop albums of the 2010s at this point.

One of my favourite albums of the decade, for sure.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It’s okay. Never got the hype at the moment despite repeated listens. I’ll try and give it another go, it’s been a while since I’ve had a Surrey U Turn.

 

[Jark]

this casual masterpiece turns four TODAY!

I'll have a listen + rate later

lately I have been obsessed with this slinky disco remix of Green Light

 

[Penelope]

Easily in the top 5 albums of the last decade.

I was a little astonished to see just HOW big it had got over the years - over 2.5 billion Spotify streams on just one album alone!

 

[Dark Carnival]

The new single got me listening to Green Light again, what a gem!

BROADCAST THE BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM, AND MAKE 'EM ALL DANCE TO IT

The album is a modern masterpiece.

 

[OutSynk]

I didn’t care for this at all but Homemade Dynamite fucks.

 

[Jark]

10. 10. 10. WHAT a record.

Hard Feelings is truly that bitch. the delightful instrumentation, the hooks, the lyricism... it's all so masterful. I just love her so much.

I still remember everything
how we'd drift buying groceries
how you'd dance for me
I start letting go of little things
'til I'm so far away from you
far away from you, yeah

 

[Jark]

the definitive alt-gay pop classic of the latter half of the decade. sorry Carly.

Never re-posted but as you might all expect - massive Suedey U Turn on this one. Of course it's fantastic.

There's room for both ladies, let's not pit strong independent females against each other okrrr, and they couldn't be more different anyway.

Also: @monsta get in here hun.

 

[Jark]

I wouldn't call it "pitting women against one another" to observe that one seminal pop album has endured much better than another, mother Suedette. art can be compared!

Truly I wouldn't compare the two ever.

If I were to compare Lorde to anyone I guess it would be her pal TayTay. Carly Rae inhabits a different sphere but if I were to compare her to anyone I guess it would probably be Robyn.

Whichever way one slices it though, apples & oranges never tasted so good. And that's that.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

But if @Jark is specifically pitting Melodrama against E-Mo-Tion then, no and no. Two great albums in totally different ways.

 

[RJN]

Melodrama vs E-Mo-Tion is an impossible choice. Two of my favorite albums of that decade and maybe EVER

 

[Penelope]

e•mo•tion and Melodrama are so different as to verge on incomparable. It's like asking me to compare a wild night out which ended in a perfect fun weekend romance with making a therapy breakthrough that had taken me years and then writing the greatest poem I'd ever done after - they're both perfect in such different ways

But how would you compare those experiences with being a rich white woman in California?

I would love to be one but NOT to hear about it

5th birthday yesterday.

I adore this album even more after finally witnessing Green Light, Supercut and Perfect Places live. a most pleasing moment in my career!

 

[Jark]

Supercut should've been second single I think.

 

[Apoca]

Supercut is having a bit over a moment on tiktok this summer and I'm HERE FOR IT.
