    I honestly don't see anyone giving this album much less than an 8. While not a diehard fan, Lorde demonstrates some outstanding songwriting skills. Her talent is undeniable and this album is, I think, stronger than her well-received debut. I can't wait to see what she does next, but I'm more than content to enjoy Melodrama while I wait.

    Four years after the release of her much-acclaimed debut, NZ princess Lorde sets the world ablaze with the release of her sophomore effort 'Melodrama', and like its name suggests, the album is an emotional journey that's definitely not for the emotionally weak. Long gone is Pure Heroine's alternative teenage-angst sound, only to be replaced with even weirder and wilder sounds. O'Connor'sFour years after the release of her much-acclaimed debut, NZ princess Lorde sets the world ablaze with the release of her sophomore effort 'Melodrama', and like its name suggests, the album is an emotional journey that's definitely not for the emotionally weak. Long gone is Pure Heroine's alternative teenage-angst sound, only to be replaced with even weirder and wilder sounds. O'Connor's songwriting gets even better, though you thought it couldn't get maturer, right? Lorde explores questions left since PH: the "it's a new art form showing people how little we care" in 'Tennis Court' becomes "we pretend that we just don't care, but we care" in 'Sober', which for me showcases how mature and grown she's come to be.
    The best part about the record is that it is undeniably relatable, for any person who is in their early-20s and just got their hearts broken, and all they want is to party it off. One of the highlights of the record, although it's very hard to choose, is 'Supercut', that sees Lorde exploring a full-on synth-pop she's never done before.
    Whether she's partying on the weekend ('Sober'), remembering an ex-lover ('Writer in the Dark'), or just contemplating the imperfections of existing ('Perfect Places'), "Melodrama" works in every way and every aspect, and I expect a lot of Grammys to pour on it. Solid 10!    … Expand

    Simply the most well rounded pop album new(ish) on the market. Extremely catchy, groovy, and full of positive vibes. By far her best work and will likely go down as the best album of her career. Crazy to think she was already huge and then came out with something even better. Well done, Lorde.

    The best pop album of 2017 so far. Lorde songwriting and - this time - song production is totally amazing. Her inspirations seems to flow from Robyn to Bjork, in an spectacular sophomore project. The almost-four years of waiting were totally worth it.

    Certamente falar sobre o Melodrama não será fácil, pois falar de qualidade é praticamente indescritível. Surpreende-nos o fato da Lorde ter amadurecido tanto em tão pouco tempo. Enquanto a maioria dos artistas demoram 2 ou 3 álbuns para amadurecerem em suas composições (ou nem amadurecerem), Lorde se torna uma singularidade nesse meio, fazendo isso em seu segundo álbum de estúdio. PodemosCertamente falar sobre o Melodrama não será fácil, pois falar de qualidade é praticamente indescritível. Surpreende-nos o fato da Lorde ter amadurecido tanto em tão pouco tempo. Enquanto a maioria dos artistas demoram 2 ou 3 álbuns para amadurecerem em suas composições (ou nem amadurecerem), Lorde se torna uma singularidade nesse meio, fazendo isso em seu segundo álbum de estúdio. Podemos falar que ela já estava madura e grande em seu álbum de estréia, o Pure Heroine, mas Melodrama vemos uma Lorde totalmente diferente daquele que vimos aos 16.
    Em 11 faixas a artista consegue transmitir tudo ou 99,9% de tudo que é proposto pelo álbum, pois é impossível humanamente transmitir o que sentimos ao próximo sem que haja modificações na percepção ou na transmissão.
    De Green Light a Perfect Places, Lorde percorre o caminho que todo ser humano em sua vida o faz: a saída da idade de fantasias para a idade madura, onde o melancolismo e dramaticismo chegam ao seu auge na interioridade de cada um. A efemeridade da vida é que provoca tais lutas internas, e a artista consegue captar tais circunstâncias: um verdadeiro dom que nasce da vivência bruta dessas contradições.
    Lembro-me nesse momento da canção Hometown Glory do álbum "19" da Adele, e como ela conseguiu transmitir em uma música tão simples a grandiosidade e ao mesmo tempo a efemeridade da vida de Londres e de como se sentia nesse meio. Lorde da mesma forma, em faixas como Sober, Writer in the Dark e Liability, dá a cada um de nós uma avalanche dos nosso próprios sentimentos.
    Se há pontos fracos no álbum, estes são quase imperceptíveis. Melodrama se traduz numa real obra-de-arte. Se Lorde fosse uma pintora, com certeza, Picasso e Van Gogh estariam honrados em tê-la como contemporânea na produção de quadros.    … Expand

Muestra una imagen diferente a lo que ella había mostrado en su trabajo anterior, a madurez se ve reflejada claramente demostrando una evolución como artista, así como también en si misma y su manera de pensar. Las líricas son exquisitas, los sonidos son frescos, el aura es encantadora; a medida que el álbum transcurre, ninguna canción es igual a la otra, pero a su vez, la identidad de la canción es parte de ese álbum, y te permite enamorarte, todo se entrelaza a la perfección.

    Meu top 3 no álbum fica com: Sober II (Melodrama), Perfect Places e The Louvre. Menção especial a Liability que é uma das músicas mais profundas que já ouvi

The sentimental parte goes on, but in different ways. ''Hard Feelings/Loveless'', a ballad that shows how Lorde matters about the way the world is full of hatred nowadays, and this concepts ends in this record. The following songs, ''Melodrama/Writer in the dark/Supercut'', retake the concept of Liability, craving the sentimental and poetic part of the whole record. It ends with the third single released, ''Perfect Places'', a beautiful song about being sober and believing that everyone has a perfect place to go and to feel important.
    A beautiful and intimate record.

    The songwriting on this album does not disappoint as well, Ms. Yelich-O'Connor carving quite some memorable lines in her listeners' mind, such as "I still feel you, now and then/ Slow like pseudo-ephedrine/ When you see me, will you say I've changed?" from the wrenching ballad 'Writer in The Dark", or "I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush/ Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough" from my personal favourite track off this album, "The Louvre".
    There are so many lines, so many aspects to dissect from this pop masterpiece, but hey, I'm not a qualified critic, so I'll let the big dogs do their job. One final thing to add, this album has a huge potential of getting an Album of The Year nomination, and even winning. Congratulations, Ella! You've done it again!    … Expand

Así que solo diré que este álbum significa mucho para mí -casualmente tengo 19 también- y que definitivamente aunque ansío escuchar algo nuevo de Ella, pero podré aguantar oyendo este álbum todos malditos los días.… Expand

    Melodrama manages to maintain Lorde's uniquely introspective songwriting even though its subject matter at times feels completely different. This is being lauded as the best pop record of 2017 and it's very easy to see why. It doesn't do what producers and record labels think a breakup or party album should do, rather it comes from the mind of a clever 20 year old.

    Hard Feelings/Loveless, the central point of the album, is by far the strongest composition present. about 2.5 minutes in, a most earth shattering and invigorating experience occurs as the music begins to rattle from the core out. this track in particular feels like a detached rollercoaster soaring and rising above feelings of contempt and inferiority. Lorde brings power to every step she climbs, in the launch, in the process AND in the followthrough.

    This is my favorite album since Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Where most pop girls try and fail these days, Lorde succeeds. While the sound is pretty minimalistic, it sounds like a huge luxurious pop album. Every song is not pop friendly yet could probably be a total jam on the radio (if radio would allow it) because of each song's pure original song and lyrical beauty.This is my favorite album since Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Where most pop girls try and fail these days, Lorde succeeds. While the sound is pretty minimalistic, it sounds like a huge luxurious pop album. Every song is not pop friendly yet could probably be a total jam on the radio (if radio would allow it) because of each song's pure original song and lyrical beauty.

    The sound on each track is memorable and big. Her vocals never come across as some random coffee shop artist. They are something truly magical. There is no filler because Lorde is smart enough to know a 40 minute album means there is no room for failure. I never found myself looking at my phone to see when the album is over or because I forgot what the song title is called. She has created an absolute masterpiece. It's a shame that it won't get noticed a lot like Witness did. The album is begging to be a hit machine. Not only is it a fantastic pop album, an overall fantastic album in general. Nothing will top this album this year. The album is a work of genius.

    Green Light: An absolute party heavy blast from start to finish. The perfect way to build up to a big sound. The production doesn't carry this song to make it a dance heavy song. It's Lorde's vocals and her lyrics. 10/10

    Sober: One of the most original songs of the year. Totally original lyrics with her weird vocal changes make this another blast. 10/10

    Homemade Dynamite: Production isn't as heavy as I thought it would be but that's not a bad thing and doesn't mean that it's bad. Lyrics aren't as good as the other songs but her vocals and the catchiness of the song distract from that. 9/10

    The Louvre: Organic sound that has a really unique vibe. Once again fantastic lyrics backed up her raw vocals. This one kind of got to me because I am still getting over a heartbreak from over a year ago :-( 10/10

    Liability: I didn't think I would like this before I heard it. A lot of indie type pop girls fail at ballads. The sound is really minimal on this but somehow she makes it seem huge. The lyrics are heartbreaking and stray far from the stupid cringey ballad lyrics we usually hear from Katy. A total emotional and heartbreaking song. 10/10

    Hard Feelings/Loveless: A lot of the time when a song is split up in two titles, it's kind of stupid. The production slowly moves from something kind of familiar to something really groovy. Lyrics are memorable from beginning to end. I was kind of worried when I saw the time length. How did these two songs go by so fast without dragging? 10/10

    Sober II (Melodrama) Fantastic production and lyrics as well as her raw emotional vocals. Just one complaint, I wish it were longer. This is like a short sample you get an ice cream shop. 9/10

    Writer In The Dark: Once again Lorde has another emotional filled song without getting cheesy. 10/10

    Supercut: I feel like this is a sequel to Green Light. It baffles me how she can turn a dance ready song into something really emotional and meaningful. 10/10

    Liability (Repise): Great way to end the album. Just wish it were LONGER!

    Perfect Places: Extremely catchy and fun. It doesn't depend on it's catchiness though. Her lyrics and vocals carry the song the most. This needs to be a single on the radio. It has so much potential to be a huge hit. 10/10

    Nobody has made dance music and blended it with such great emotions since TFM. This might be her at her talent peak. The album took 18 months to make and it shows off the hard work. I don't care how much tickets are, I have to see this talented performer.    … Expand

    Lorde captures emotions like none other. Her second album is a masterful study of being a young woman, a sleek and humid pop record full of grief and hedonism, crafted with the utmost care and wisdom.

    Melodrama, segundo álbum de estúdio da cantora neolandeza Lorde, se tornou o álbum pop mais apreciado de 2017. E não é por pouco: composto total e somente pela cantora e Jack Antonoff, grande produtor e compositor do cenário pop atual, Melodrama mostra o talento e evolução de uma adolescente. Mais do que em Pure Heroine, agora temos uma Lorde que nunca vimos: sentimental e frágil.Melodrama, segundo álbum de estúdio da cantora neolandeza Lorde, se tornou o álbum pop mais apreciado de 2017. E não é por pouco: composto total e somente pela cantora e Jack Antonoff, grande produtor e compositor do cenário pop atual, Melodrama mostra o talento e evolução de uma adolescente. Mais do que em Pure Heroine, agora temos uma Lorde que nunca vimos: sentimental e frágil. Melodrama deixa de mostrar a Lorde adolescente à parte de toda a sociedade para uma Lorde adulta e suscetível à fragilidade das relações modernas.
    O carro-chefe do álbum, e sua primeira música depois de 4 anos em que Lorde passou a tentar viver sua vida após a exposição que Pure Heroine trouxe, mostra do que o álbum pretende. Como a maioria das músicas pop, "Green Light" nos apresenta uma recente decepção amorosa. Mas apesar de nos soar o pop de sempre, algo sempre estranha: a música começa com um simples e monótono piano, que aos poucos vai crescendo, até explodir com um refrão que nos parece desesperador. "I waiting for it, that green light, I want it!". Lorde deseja se desvincular desse pós-fim de relacionamento, e ter sua liberdade anunciada por um farol (a tal luz verde). Não como qualquer estrela pop, Lorde usa da composição acelerada e da explosão sonora para demostrar uma "ansiedade por liberdade".
    É a partir daí que começamos a ser ambientados nos acontecimentos que Lorde quer nos passar. Com "Sober" e "Homemade Dynamite", somos inseridos em uma festa a qual o álbum retrata. "Sober" nos coloca para refletir sobre festejar, mostrando como tentamos encontrar festas em busca de alívios para nossos problemas, e que "fingimos que não nos importamos, mas nós nos importamos" enquanto dançamos e bebemos para esquecer as dificuldades. E todo esse questionamento é colocado do modo mais cru possível, principalmente por ser a música mais minimalista do álbum, contendo apenas saxofones e baterias sintéticas.
    Em "The Louvre", a música mais monumental do álbum, é como se Lorde nos mostrasse um relacionamento que encontra seu ápice na parte mais explosiva da festa. Lorde expõe seus sentimentos por quem ela ama como um quadro, e se utiliza do sentimento tão violento e explosivo do fato de amar para fazer todos dançarem: "brodcast the boom boom boom boom and make'em all dance to it". Como se quisesse fazer um ecocardiograma do que sente no ápice do amor, a expectativa da sonoridade é quebrada no refrão, e de repente torna-se introspectiva. Podemos afirmar claramente que estamos entrando nos sentimentos da cantora. E tudo isto é metaforicamente colocado como se os dois estivessem pendurados no museu Louvre. Mas mesmo sendo tão introspectiva, Lorde consegue representar os relacionamentos modernos nas suas mais detalhadas características.
    E após toda a explosão, Lorde começa nos ambientar no fim da festa-relacionamento: são nos apresentadas canções intimistas, tristes, que mostram uma Lorde frágil nunca vista. Em Supercut, a canção mais pop, animada e empolgante, Lorde mostra que todo esse álbum é apenas um corte cinematográfico de toda essa trajetória romântico-festiva que passou. E resgatando esses cortes, também resgata temas iniciais do álbum, com "Sober II (Melodrama)" e " Liability (reprise)", mostrando como os relacionamentos modernos são constantemente expostos a crises e exageros, como um próprio teatro grego melodramático, para que os amigos, seguidores e mídia saibam "como nos beijamos e matamos uns aos outros".
    De igual importância ao álbum começar com "Green Light", "Perfect Places" encerra o álbum e a temática festa-relacionamento, de forma muito profunda. Depois de todo o decorrer, Lorde capta uma coisa quase imperceptível por nós: o que é o início de uma vida adulta. Lidar com uma decepção amorosa não é uma lição fácil, e fazemos isso tentando procurar lugares perfeitos para festejar e fugir dos nossos próprios abismos da vida adulta. Mas ela questiona: o que exatamente são lugares perfeitos enquanto nossos heróis na música, como David Bowie, estão morrendo?
    Assim, Melodrama mostra uma artista que é quase impossível encontrar no meio pop: com composições estrondosas e ao mesmo tempo intimistas como em "The Louvre" e "Liability", Lorde cria metáforas introspectivas sobre questões habituais da vida adulta. Cada detalhe, apesar de tão pessoal, acaba nos arrebatando e nos tornamos complacente dos sentimentos da neolandeza. Com "Melodrama", Lorde conseguiu se fixar no topo do mundo pop alternativo, e mostrar seu talento e evolução, além de facilidade de flutuar entre diversos ambitos desse meio musical. Aclamada pelo minimalismo de "Pure Heroine", arriscou-se em um pop explosivo em "Melodrama" , sendo um dos álbuns femininos mais bem avaliados de todos os tempos. E se Lorde se arriscou, acertou em cheio, expondo no Louvre do mundo pop a maior representação musical contemporânea.    … Expand

    Lorde's sophomore album showcases her magnificent lyricism, artistic development, and idiosyncratic production. Every track is astounding and not a total disappointment. Melodrama is surely going to be included in the 2017 accolades.

    A 20 years old girl from New Zealand has made a record like this, So elegant, so mature but yet so youthful.I'm completly blown away, problably one of the best pop albums in years.

    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.
