In 2013, 17-year-old Lorde released "Pure Heroine", an album that has been critically acclaimed. Since then, four years have passed and the New Zealander is back with a second project called "Melodrama" ... Lorde offers an intimate album that reveals his wounds of the transition to adulthood after a painful rupture. With themes such as loneliness, self-quest and love disappointment, the singer-songwriter's warm voice is still very important. She sings by accentuating the various sounds of her vocal timbre. After several listenings, I can assure you that "Melodrama" is a real success. Lorde reveals herself by writing in a fair and realistic way on subjects that are not always rosy. She describes her tribulations of her own life as a young woman with sincerity and authenticity. This is a future classic, a pop masterpiece, better than "Pure Heroine".
