This album starts with "Don't you think that is boring how people talk..." in Tennis Court and finish it with "Let them talk" in a world alone. Perfection!
I miss her so much, I've done nothing but listen to Melodrama and Pure Heroine all the time since this year began, and I can't wait for her to come back, I'm starving!!

ik many people know this, but want to say it again for people who don’t know: in the original album (not extended) she begins the album with “don’t you think that it’s boring how people talk?” and ends with “let em talk.”
If I'm not mistaken Buzzcut Season is about paranoia you feel from watching the news and reading about wars around the world and how teen boys need to go to war. She represents that emotional support to those who experience that anxiety.
as a hip hop head, music nerd. from the countless albums and songs i’ve ever heard, ribs is the best song ever made by an artist, pure heroine is better than melodrama. lorde is a top 10 music act
And Taylor MOST OF ALL. These three are very talented songwriters but they're different. Lorde's is blunt, direct and hits you in your face and paired with her nostalgic sonics. Lana's is clever word choice and more academically-inclined as a poet. Her sonics are mellow. Taylor's is all the syntax, catchiness, flow, and the cinematic experience of storytelling.
Is it just me or it’s really brilliant how she starts the album with the line “don’t you think that is boring how people talk?” and ends it with “let them talk” in the last track? Just so clever.
Lorde was literally the first to do this genre and at 16 it's amazing how she changed music. She really doesn't get the credit she deserves in that regard
400 Lux, Team, Buzzcut season and Ribs are my favourite songs from the album. I've been vibing to Pure Heroine and Melodrama a lot lately, I'm so ready for her to come back this year.
"And I like you - I like it if you stay" This line from 400Lux gets me everytime, its so soft and vulnerable. Telling them you like them over and over again, and you don't want them to leave, but instead of saying don't leave me, you opted to say "I like it if you stay" i don't know that wording is so adorable and sad at the same time. Cause the possibility of them leaving you eventually is always there but you're hoping that they will stay.
I was gonna ask why it’s never featured on the deluxe and then I saw the comment below- why tf is it only on Apple Music? I always just listened to that song and just thought it was underrated (which it is) but I didn’t realize it just isn’t on other platforms damn.
Pure Heroine one of my all time favorite albums. It’s astounding that this was her first body of work and she was so young. Wise beyond her years and I could never get tired of this record.
"Buzzcut Season" always reminds me of a college acquaintance of mine who passed away from leukemia. We went to school down in North Carolina, so the weather was still good when he had to shave his head and start treatment in October. He really took it all in stride and his treatment was progressing well, but then in the last three weeks of his life, he took a sudden downward turn before many of us had a chance to say goodbye.
I totally love Lorde!!! I first heard her on September 2013 in a Videoclip program, where they showed Royals and when I heard her voice singing "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh" OMG! I just thought "wow, what a voice". Then after the clip ended I gone straight to TH-cam to look for more songs, and I heard Tennis court ❤️ I love her two albums, can't choose between them!
I used to spend hours looking at the lights of my city listening to this album. I've always loved The A world alone's excerpt "It feels so scary getting old", those lyrics marked me on my 18's.
I feel like I’m reliving this album. I can see and feel things around me at that time in my life when this masterpiece first came out. ❤️ So happy you reviewed this gem. 🥲
I remember when Royals came out, Elton John did an interview where he was asked about her and he said that she was the future of music, and that the drum machine sound throughout the Pure Heroine album is what Lady Gaga should be doing. Also love Hans Zimmer as a composer, nice shout out.
thank goodness SOMEONE appreciates Biting Down !! mom had this album when it came out and I used to steal the cd to relax to it, loved your reaction and that u actually listened to it
The choir you noticed in Bravado (also my favorite) is Lorde herself, she sang all the different layers and brought them together. An impeccable harmonic perception, and very young, in addition to writing all the lyrics practically alone... She is a genius, brilliant in the smallest details
before Pure Heroine, Lorde had The Love Club EP which feature Bravado, Royals, Million Dollar Bills, The Love Club, and Biting Down. that’s why those songs have a different vibe. Pure Heroine actually ends with World Alone. the extended version just added on her ep songs.
When you are on Melodrama, lyrics wise, I think you'll be able to really discern Melodrama from Pure Heroine - Melodrama has a central theme around being melodramatic (the album is a work of her breakup) while Pure Heroine has a central theme around realism - the realistic aspects in life.
yes and all the songs that come after world alone were on love club. that’s why they have a different vibe. i kinda wish he knew that in the video cuz others probably don’t.
Aw man, I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy Swingin Party, it's my absolute favorite Lorde song and one of my favorite songs of all time! Another one that is kind of like that but is melodically and vocally a bit more interesting (which I feel like you would enjoy) is Ladder Song, from the soundtrack of Hunger Games: Mockingjay!
400 lux - 'that sound' yes indeed, that sound is sunrise/sunset. lux is a measurement of light. During the sunrise/sunset, the measurement is 400. Good ear.
Bravado should have been on the standard edition of Pure Heroine, it's probably her best song to date. When Pure Heroine came out I bought the album and listened to it while doing my shopping and paying bills etc on my Sony Walkman! Those were the days. The deluxe was sadly not available here, I would have loved to have the EP tracks on a physical lossless format. It's a shame The Love Club wasn't an LP, to be honest.

Missed "No Better" in the extended version.
Pure Heroine is a masterpiece same as Melodrama, Lorde always bringing excellence.
And L3 is coming 💆🏻♀️
@@slut4ya any day now 😎😈
Indeed....it’s like everything she released is pure art
I miss her so much, I've done nothing but listen to Melodrama and Pure Heroine all the time since this year began, and I can't wait for her to come back, I'm starving!!
Up
these songs hit different when you were 16/17, and the nostalgia it gives listening 7 years later is unmatched.
truly unmatched
agreed
Totally
I vividly remember hearing ribs as a teen and wow... nostalgia at full force
Yup tennis court takes me back ❤️
ribs is just so painful when you actually lost a friend due to car crash. damn, imysm brylle.
omygod
so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, wish you all the healing
Im sorry for your loss, I hope you are ok today!
i’m sorry for your loss, condolences🥺🤍
Pure Heroine defined the 2010 teens. It redefined and changed music forever.
This dude is really reviewing artists that most of the gays listen to. I stan.
hahahahahaha
We have taste
Feed the gays and the gays will give you numbers, it always works. Also works with the BTS stans lol
@@carloscampos6255 bold of you to assume most of us ARMYs aren't already gay LOL
Why gay? I love lorde but i'm not gay..
*she was signed at the age of 14 (UMG)
*wrote the songs for her debut Pure Heroine album at the age of 15
*released the album and won a grammy at 16.
She didn't win aoty tho, sadly

@@christopher7804 I just said it because she really deserves that aoty trophy, pure heroine is a life-changing album.
Lorde knows how to put the feelings of a teenager that is living her youth, with all of that represents in a melody. It's kinda come back.

Can’t wait for melodrama
she wrote royals in 30 mins after school when she was 15. seriously wtf

Omg you're also here 🧍
Ribs was my favorite track. It literally puts me in my feels every time.
This song often males me cry

@@kellenpies160 finnaly som1 says it 🤝
Lorde and Lana best current songwriters
along with tove lo
And Taylor Swift
Obviously you haven’t heard any other music other then pop or indie
Lorde, Lana, Taylor, Kanye, Kendrick, Frank Ocean and SZA are imo the most authentic and best songwriters of the 2010s
And Taylor MOST OF ALL.
These three are very talented songwriters but they're different.
Lorde's is blunt, direct and hits you in your face and paired with her nostalgic sonics.
Lana's is clever word choice and more academically-inclined as a poet. Her sonics are mellow.
Taylor's is all the syntax, catchiness, flow, and the cinematic experience of storytelling.
The fact that she wrote this album when she was 14 never ceases to amaze me.

1 minute ago lmao ily
Yes!! PH has been on repeat the past few days.
SAME
I miss her so much. She needs to come back right now
She says she’s got the name sorted for her new album so hopefully summer time maybe.
@Booper Dooper it's a fact she's dropping an album this year. Rumors say she's releasing the lead single this month! But sadly they're only rumors
@@bernardoflores1819 those rumors were correct
@@kotonoshi9257 yeppp
she released Solar Power single and released Solar Power album in august 2021!! she’s currently on the Solar Power Tour!!

“No Better” is my fave song but it’s never featured on the Deluxe albums
Only on Apple Music :(
For me, in my taste, No better is the best one in Pure Heroine. And Supercut in Melodrama
I was gonna ask why it’s never featured on the deluxe and then I saw the comment below- why tf is it only on Apple Music? I always just listened to that song and just thought it was underrated (which it is) but I didn’t realize it just isn’t on other platforms damn.
@@owenlevan-uhler7115 Why the best tracks are always the ones being excluded!! This also happens with a lot of artists
I didn’t know No Better existed until last year, I was really missing out
okay now we NEED to see the Melodrama reaction.
Yes please!
Seeing someone hearing ribs for the first time is so fun lmao
Pure Heroine one of my all time favorite albums. It’s astounding that this was her first body of work and she was so young. Wise beyond her years and I could never get tired of this record.
The songs after A World Alone are from her EP which was released a year prior to the album - that’s why the production sounds different
"It feels so scary getting old"
That hits hard
Ribs & Buzzcut season 🙌🙌
just waiting for a Florence's react
Saaaaaame
Up
yeeeeess
yess
But which Florence + the Machine album?
oh, to listen to lorde for the first time again...
"Buzzcut Season" always reminds me of a college acquaintance of mine who passed away from leukemia. We went to school down in North Carolina, so the weather was still good when he had to shave his head and start treatment in October. He really took it all in stride and his treatment was progressing well, but then in the last three weeks of his life, he took a sudden downward turn before many of us had a chance to say goodbye.
no joke this album made me as a person
Please react to Allie X , she is an amazing lyricist , and all her álbuns are really good.. specially her last album Cape God has amazing lyrics
yeeees
YESSS Cape God is amazinggggg
facts
Yep
That’s so us and Casanova are my favs
the last five tracks actually is on her EP earlier called The Love Club EP
i love this album can't wait to your reaction to melodrama !!
pure heroine and melodrama are the best albums of the last decade, masterpieces all across the board
Not when we had froot and how big how blue how beautiful
400 lux is so underrated
Funny how I was JUST looking for a reaction on this album earlier today. 11:07 pm now and BOOM homie released one hours later. Thanks OTDE!!!!
I totally love Lorde!!! I first heard her on September 2013 in a Videoclip program, where they showed Royals and when I heard her voice singing "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh" OMG! I just thought "wow, what a voice". Then after the clip ended I gone straight to TH-cam to look for more songs, and I heard Tennis court ❤️
I love her two albums, can't choose between them!
This album defined my teens. Glad you finally took time to react to this masterpiece.
didnt realize how specifically good/ validating it feels to watch someone groove to ur favorite songs
I used to spend hours looking at the lights of my city listening to this album.
I've always loved The A world alone's excerpt "It feels so scary getting old", those lyrics marked me on my 18's.
I'm so excited for her next album. She says she already has a title.
finally getting to LORDE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but the thing is.... WHEN HE GETS TO MELODRAMA OMG!
IMMA HAVE MY LIFEEEE ❤️🔥👏🏻
I feel like I’m reliving this album. I can see and feel things around me at that time in my life when this masterpiece first came out. ❤️ So happy you reviewed this gem. 🥲
Man, Weyes Blood's Titanic Raising is going to blow your mind.
literally every time i listen to this album it gives me chills. listened to it over 5000x i swear
i forgot how much i love this album😭
she’s always ahead by a century
It's so nice to see someone who's not from the fandom liking Ribs on the first listen
React to Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood plssss 🙏🙏
Lorde is a masterpiece
i love Titanic Rising too ohmygodudghpi cuip AOTY
AOTY 2019 i know that's right!!! 😩🕺🕺
OMG YEEESSS
the most sensory album I've ever heard.
your reaction to biting down was the exact same as mine oml it does give off cult vibes def
HOLY MOTHER OF MERCY!!!!!!! I haven't watched the reaction yet, but why do I get the feeling that he will love Bravado?
I remember when Royals came out, Elton John did an interview where he was asked about her and he said that she was the future of music, and that the drum machine sound throughout the Pure Heroine album is what Lady Gaga should be doing. Also love Hans Zimmer as a composer, nice shout out.
Melodrama review NEEDS to be soon.
wish i could listen to this album again for the first time
thank goodness SOMEONE appreciates Biting Down !! mom had this album when it came out and I used to steal the cd to relax to it, loved your reaction and that u actually listened to it
The choir you noticed in Bravado (also my favorite) is Lorde herself, she sang all the different layers and brought them together. An impeccable harmonic perception, and very young, in addition to writing all the lyrics practically alone... She is a genius, brilliant in the smallest details
Ribs is my favorite.. you know it hurts when you lost friends as you are getting older.
before Pure Heroine, Lorde had The Love Club EP which feature Bravado, Royals, Million Dollar Bills, The Love Club, and Biting Down. that’s why those songs have a different vibe. Pure Heroine actually ends with World Alone. the extended version just added on her ep songs.
even knowing you were listening to the album in chronological order we all know that ribs sounds always at the end
it is THE closing
White Teeth Teens is an underrated banger 😭
So underrated 😭💔 the song just sounds so pretty
“Team” just hits different
When you are on Melodrama, lyrics wise, I think you'll be able to really discern Melodrama from Pure Heroine - Melodrama has a central theme around being melodramatic (the album is a work of her breakup) while Pure Heroine has a central theme around realism - the realistic aspects in life.
i revisited this album in the middle watchin u! so good! I missed a lot cause i only cared for TEAM! thank u for that!
Could you possibly do BANKS in the future? That would be great!! 😊
yessss especially Goddess. Issa killer debut album
yes the altar
Yessss!!
My favorite Tracks of Pure Heroine after five years of listening to this album:
Team
Buzzcut season
a world alone
swingin party
glory and gore
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO MELODRAMA.
Please react to the full plastic hearts album!! A Miley Cyrus deep dive would be dope too :)
YES AND REACT TO BANGERZ TOO
We need a Kesha deep dive!!!
up
omg stop this would be amazing
I agree
pure heroine wasn't her first studio album, she had love club before that.
yes and all the songs that come after world alone were on love club. that’s why they have a different vibe. i kinda wish he knew that in the video cuz others probably don’t.
@@g444by yeah the whole vibe and especially her voice is so different in these two. I mean love club and pure heroine are two different eras.
a MAN with taste OMG
The last songs are actually her original EP, that's why they sound quite different
Melodrama is a masterpiece too! Check that out! She was so awesome live!
I’m glad that this album came into my life back in 2013, just loved it and still is one of my favorite albums of all time.
OMG taylor I’ve been so excited for this!!!!!
witnessing someone listen to ribs for the first time, sheesh
Please the next one "Melodrama"!!!
THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN YOU SAID BRAVADO WAS UR FAVOURITE AHHHHH BROSKI SAMEEE
absolutely spot on on the buzzcut season referencing the summer time! lorde has mentioned this before
lord and lana and owners of my life
Great reaction and review!! This is my favorite lorde album 💕 looking forward for your Beyoncé dive reaction soon ✨✊🏻
Hey man, please react to "Titanic Rising" by Weyes Blood! I love your reactions!
Uppp
I haven't seen many people requesting this album so this makes me happy, also 'What's your pleasure' by Jessie Ware. 😭😭😭
yes omg a world alone fan it’s my favourite on the album as well
Pleaseeee listen to Kali Uchis she’s very dream-pop and kinda tropical vibe, but her first and second albums are quite different
Pure Heroine and Melodrama are timeless as hell 🔥❤️
I'm so happy your listening to this masterpiece.
Aw man, I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy Swingin Party, it's my absolute favorite Lorde song and one of my favorite songs of all time! Another one that is kind of like that but is melodically and vocally a bit more interesting (which I feel like you would enjoy) is Ladder Song, from the soundtrack of Hunger Games: Mockingjay!
Ok hear me out, let he know a bout the divine AURORA
Bro, Pure Heroine is a masterpiece.
Please react to her Song Yellow Flicker Beat - it's the soundtrack for the movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, it also has its own music video
400 lux - 'that sound'
yes indeed, that sound is sunrise/sunset.
lux is a measurement of light. During the sunrise/sunset, the measurement is 400. Good ear.
Omg okay but can we talk about his skin!!!!! Glow!!!
YES omfg this album-
Bravado should have been on the standard edition of Pure Heroine, it's probably her best song to date.
When Pure Heroine came out I bought the album and listened to it while doing my shopping and paying bills etc on my Sony Walkman! Those were the days.
The deluxe was sadly not available here, I would have loved to have the EP tracks on a physical lossless format. It's a shame The Love Club wasn't an LP, to be honest.
I just hear your entro. And I get excited
The last few songs feel different because they were actually her EP from before the album. They were added to the extended edition.
This album is badass.
Melodrama needs to be next! Great reaction
