    Definition of perfection and precision. No matter how many times you listen to this art work, it will only grow on you even more. Timeless bible of pop from this decade. Lana’s fan here, I mean please, just try to be nice.

    É uma obra de arte em forma de música, singular e complexo ao mesmo tempo, é uma viagem sonora com mininas derrapadas ao longo dela.

    Yes, it is the anthem of teenagers. But even if you are not a teen anymore, you can still think of the feelings of love and hurt in your 20s. That's why Lorde and this album are excellent with no doubt.

    Adictivo. Salvaje. Grandioso. Así es, sin duda alguna en 2017 tuvimos que presenciar ante nuestros oidos a una Lorde más madura y sensata en Melodrama.

    Melodrama para mi significa mucho, el trabajo de Lorde es especial, este álbum es muy artístico, empezando con green light, cautivo mi corazón, y terminando con perfect places. Las canciones intermedias de Melodrama no se quedan atrás, Lorde supo poner todo su empeño y sufrimiento en líricas perfectas, todo funciona bien, es un mar de emociones y llanto, alabado sea melodrama.

    Melodrama é uma obra de arte do início ao fim, aliád, está em falta um encarte decente igual a esse, cade as idéias do resto dos artistas?

    If you call this a pop album, then it's the best we've gotten this decade and one of the best of all time. I thought 1989 was the one for the 2010s but Melodrama has come for the crown, quality-wise. Not only did Jack Antonoff finally not ruin an album with his stale production but Lorde also served with the intimate feeling and specificity she conveys through her lyrics.

Not only did Jack Antonoff finally not ruin an album with his stale production but Lorde also served with the intimate feeling and specificity she conveys through her lyrics. The concept of a party and its shallowness being turned into depth by the haunting memories a breakup can bring, especially amid growing into adulthood and finding oneself in the world of cheap values is brilliant.… Expand

    What can i say about this masterpiece? Perfect lyrics, perfect production, perfect vocals, perfect album. "Melodrama" is by far the best pop album of the decade. Shame of the grammy's academy for not have recognized lorde's work in 2017's cerimony.

Nesse álbum vemos a maturidade da Lorde, o que é FASCINANTE. O álbum, que SIM foi o melhor de 2017, possui várias referências e ela simplesmente transformou essas referências em poesia. Os instrumentais são únicos, o personagem que a Lorde interpreta em seu álbum é único, as letras são únicas. Não é por nada que é um dos mais aclamados álbuns da década.… Expand

    Green Light
    I do my makeup in somebody else's car We order different drinks at the same bar I know about u didn't I wanna scream the truth He thinks u like the beach your such a damn liar Well those great whites they have big teeth Oh they bite u Thought u said that you would always be in love, but your not in love no more Well I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my life    Album:
    Green Light
    I do my makeup in somebody else's car
    We order different drinks at the same bar
    I know about u didn't I wanna scream the truth He thinks u like the beach your such a damn liar
    Well those great whites they have big teeth
    Oh they bite u
    Thought u said that you would always be in love, but your not in love no more Well I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my life
    Well only I'll be seeing you wherever I go Well only I'll be seeing you dont every rode (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it)
    Cause only I'll come get my things but I can't let go
    And I'll always try to get my things and just let go (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it) (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it) (I'm waiting for it that green light I want it)

    Sober
    ( I've spent my life) (I've spent my life )
    (I've spent my life) (I've spent my life)
    Oh God i'm clear out of air in my lungs
    It's all gone say a not so long it's time we dance with the truth
    Move along with the grove (yeah)
    I'm sleeping through all the days and by the story so long

    But my hips have misjudged now let's get to now the ticks will u stay with me
    Go to stray with me King and Queen of the weekend
    Ain't a pill that can touch our ground (But will we do when we're sober)

    Homemade dynamite A couple rebel top gun pilots flying with no where to be Dont know u super well but I think that u might be the same as me
    Behave abnormally Let's let things come out of the woodworks
    Our rules, our dreams we blunt
    Throwing **** up with Homemade Dynamite Our friends our kids We get inspired Throwing **** up with Homemade Dynamite I get ur friend to drive but he can hardly see
    Well end up painted on the rode writing chrome
    All the broken glass sparkling I guess we are partying So let's let things come out of the wood works
    Our rules our dreams blowing **** up with Homemade Dynamite Now u know it's really gonna blow ploosh

    The Louvre
    Our summer slipped us Underneath her rung
    Our days and nights are Perfume with obsession Half of my wardrobe is on ur bedroom floor
    I am ur sweetheart Psychopathic crutch
    Drink up ur moment Still I cant get enough I over think ur punctuation too
    Not ur fault just a thing that my mind do
    Rush set the beginning I get caught up just for a minute
    Well love ur the one to blame a situating u hear the violence Put the phone to my chest Broadcast the boom boom boom and make um all dance to em
    Broadcast the boom boom boom and make em all dance to it
    I see progressions I call and u come through Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with u
    But we're the greatest They'll hang us in the loop
    Down the back but who cares still the loop

    Liability Baby really hurt me crying down the taxi, He dont wanna know me Says he made the the big mistake dancing in my storm
    Says it was poison so I guess I'll go home into the arms of the girl that I love The only love I haven't screwed up She so hard to please but shes a forest fore
    They say ur as little mich for me
    Ur a liability Ur a little mich for me
    So they pull back make other plans I understand I'm liability
    Make u wilderness make u leave Im q lottle much for everyone Hard Feelings/Loveless Please could u be tender when I was so close to u Please give it a minute before we admit that we're through Guess this is the winner Hard feelings It's so what they call hard feelings of life God wish I believed you when u told me this was my home I light all the candles got flowers for all my rooms I care for my self the way I used to care about you These days We kiss and we keep busy The day day goes after midnight Hard feelings it's so what they call hard feelings of life Thi is my favorite tape Bet u wanna RIP my heart out Bet u wanna skip my calls now Guess what I'd like that cause I'm gonna mess ur life up gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out For LOVELESS Generation LOVELESS Generation I'm **** with our lovers heads generation Wiriter in the Dark Break the news, you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe Supercut In my head, I play a supercut of us All the magic we gave off All the love we had and lost And in my head The visions never stop These ribbons wrap me up But    … Expand

    There are no gimmicks. There’s nothing screaming for acceptance. Melodrama is a raw, real album under its sparkly clean production. One written for the masses but able to resonate with each individual listener.

    Lorde's biggest achievement is retaining her emotional insight into herself and her generation despite her utterly transformed life. [Aug 2017, p.100]

    Still only 20 years old, Lorde could have been forgiven for floundering under the weight of expectation. Instead she’s reasserted her status as today’s ultimate alt-pop artist with a record that balances the contemporary with the classic in typically immaculate style.
