August 17, 20213 yr out now, amazing song and video package <3 but not sure about blonde-Lorde :) P103bWMdvtA Edited August 17, 20213 yr by Bjork
August 17, 20213 yr Definitely hearing All Saints again in that one and I'm loving it. Really excited for the album now, it's definitely going to be a whole new mood from her but I think it could really work.
August 17, 20213 yr That's really nice! Easily my favourite thing I've heard of the era so far, and it also sounds like something I could imagine being a big hit.
August 18, 20213 yr What do we reckon it will do in the album charts? I thought it could be #1 but I'm starting to have doubts, especially as I read Olivia is releasing the vinyls x Sour on Friday. Just checked and Pure Heroine opened at #4 with 18K and Melodrama opened at #5 with 17K... but even if she performs similarly, Olivia probably will do slightly better since she's already doing 12K on streams alone. here's what MW wrote when Melodrama was released: Lorde was a few days short of her 17th birthday when her first album Pure Heroine debuted and peaked at No.4 (18,294 sales)hot on the heels of introductory single Royals topping the singles chart in November 2013. Now 20, the singer/songwriter from New Zealand recently had her biggest hit singles since that time when Green Light reached No.20 in April. It was the first single from her second album, Melodrama, which sold 17,026 copies last week, and debuts at No.5. Both Lorde albums have topped the chart in her home country, and Melodrama is on schedule to provide her first US No.1 album this weekend too.
August 18, 20213 yr opposite for me, it's a masterpiece in melody, song structure, lyrics, everything in my opinion it should be taught at music schools :D just that line about "she thinks you love the Bech, you're such a damn liar" is pure genius it's a song that really comes from the guts thats a heartbreak anthem, not the Guetta/Little Mix thing :D

August 18, 20213 yr yeah for me 'green light' is like 'dancing on my own' by Robyn where their loved online but I just don't love them... I love the lyrical content of 'green light' - it's just the song itself melody wise that grates on me...
August 18, 20213 yr I really like Mood Ring - looking forward to hearing the full album. I always much prefer listening to Lorde's albums from beginning to end rather than random songs.
August 18, 20213 yr Really loving Mood Ring, I love all 3 songs so far actually think this will be my favourite ever Lorde album. I’ve never really have her much attention other than her singles in the past but loving this era !
August 20, 20213 yr Good review but low score from Pitchfork https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lorde-...RkqBrL9TO2EFOfA
August 20, 20213 yr I haven't seen an album this divisive amongst both critics and fans in quite some time. 'Pure Heroine' and 'Melodrama' were both formative albums for me in some ways, so I am a little nervous to dive in...
August 20, 20213 yr yes I think it's gonna be more divisive than Melodrama, which was universally acclaimed
