DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE ALBUMS, 2017.


15/lorde/melodrama

Melodrama is the broadcasting of booms and heartbeats that are forever racing. A collection of vivid super cuts of hard feelings and love as seen and experienced by Lorde. And us, as these feelings and scenarios are highly familiar and universal: all the glamour and the drama, and the reasons why we bother, and the highs and lows of young love, long nights out, and the mornings (and days and emotions) that follow. All the terror and the horror alongside all the thrills and initial rushes of attraction and sparks. Packaged here in anthems for the l-o-v-e-l-e-s-s generation set to trip-hop leaning compositions that burst like fireworks, from a 21 year old on fire looking for love and more from life wherever it can be found (if it can be found). Melodrama, like the game of love, is a rush of blood to the head, and a flush of warmth for the body and soul.
