LORDE PURE HEROINE ALBUM ART FULL

White Teeth Teens вЂ“ White teeth teens have no imperfections in the way they present themselves, Lorde argues however, вЂњthe way they areвЂќ and вЂњthe way they seemвЂќ are completely different. On an album in which Lorde rarely sounds like sheвЂ™s 16 years old, вЂњStill SaneвЂќ is the portrait of someone who knows she has had to grow up too fast but has embraced this abnormality.Д©. Still Sane вЂ“ Her voice smoky and restrained, Lorde touches upon the вЂњall work and no playвЂќ craziness of her teenage existence and reflects upon the duality of fame and legacy.

Lorde Q&A: On Nicki Minaj, вЂTeamвЂ™ And Newfound FameДЁ. Glory and Gore вЂ“ The cynicism toward music on вЂњTeamвЂќ is now directed at our societyвЂ™s obsession with violence, as Lorde declares, вЂњGlory and gore go hand-in-hand/ThatвЂ™s why weвЂ™re making headlines.вЂќ As the beat shifts into a hollow clank halfway through, Lorde sounds as world-weary as ever, but the spirited cries of the hook are downright contagious. Manipulating her voice into a dead-eyed rumble at the beginning of вЂњTeam,вЂќ Lorde spirals her pipes downward in a manner that recalls Vampire WeekendвЂ™s вЂњDiane Young.вЂќ But вЂњTeam,вЂќ the follow-up single to вЂњRoyals,вЂќ crackles thanks to its gentle waves of synthesizer and LordeвЂ™s disinterested take on modern pop: вЂњIвЂ™m kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air/So there.вЂќД§. The singerвЂ™s voice keeps trying to sail off into the sky, but reality keeps gripping her down. Buzzcut Season вЂ“ LittleвЂ™s production visits a tropical paradise as Lorde tries to remain in blissful ignorance to the crumbling world trying to permeate through news broadcasts.

The line вЂњвЂLoverвЂ™s SpitвЂ™ left on repeatвЂќ may or may not be a Broken Social Scene deep cut shout-out weвЂ™re guessing it is, because Lorde may just be that cool.ДҐ. Ribs вЂ“ The ambient opening leads into an exhausted-sounding Lorde growing more frantic with each passing second, as if sheвЂ™s discovering new maturity and grown-up problems in real time.

The breakout hit sounds even more sparse on the full album, following the comparatively lush вЂњ400 Lux.вЂќ A complete outlier on Top 40 radio, вЂњRoyalsвЂќ can chalk up some of its stateside success to its knack for conjuring attention-grabbing phrases like вЂњLet me live that fantasy,вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™re driving Cadillacs in our dreamsвЂќ and вЂњIвЂ™ve never seen a diamond in the fleshвЂќ amidst the rattled-off takedown of luxury.Д¤. 400 Lux вЂ“ Femme fatale pop at its finest: over canyon-sized bass and popping percussion, Lorde tosses off a deeply evocative lyric (вЂњYou drape your wrists over the steering wheelвЂќ) in the same couplet as a powerful declaration (вЂњWe might be hollow, but weвЂ™re braveвЂќ). The detached attitude, woozy production and chopped-n-screwed вЂњYeah!вЂќ exclamations all showcase an artist willing to synthesize the darker edges of pop music and produce something intoxicating.Дў. Which songs on вЂњPure HeroineвЂќ are musical royalty? Check out our track-by-track take on LordeвЂ™s debut.ДЄlong with вЂњRoyals,вЂќ вЂњTennis CourtвЂќ is likely the song that introduced most listeners to Lorde, and operates as the older, slightly crazier cousin of the Top 10 hit. September has been a profoundly great month for new female vocalists in popular music, but Lorde is easily the most vocally striking and lyrically thought-provoking. This 16-year-oldвЂ™s first album is so smart that it begins with the line вЂњDonвЂ™t you think that itвЂ™s boring how people talk?вЂќ and ends with the statement, вЂњLet them talk.вЂќ In between is an exploration into the soul of a quiet girl in the Internet age, trying to feel something and not envy everything.

вЂњWeвЂ™re dancing in this world alone,вЂќ she concludes on the finale вЂњA World Alone.вЂќ Even if thatвЂ™s true, вЂњPure HeroineвЂќ has provided an immaculate soundtrack to that solitude.
