Didn't even get to finish my Lorde discog and Virgin inspirations run-through
So excited
Lorde fans underrate solar power hard. Some of her best on there. Big star, Oceanic feeling, stoned at the nail salon, hold no grudge… and I’m no Lorde stan
Everyone was just tired of jack antonoff, the hate overshadowed the great songs
I remember saying then, this is the best cigarette of my life
Wow this is stunning
First listen thoughts: think this is really good. Hammer is a really good intro. Album starts so strong. Current Affairs-GRWM it kinds loses its way. Broken Glass and If She Could See Me Now bring it back. David is a really good outro.
I can't wait to listen to this again tomorrow morning. I very rarely latch onto new songs nowadays but a couple from here just had me hooked
This was a great first listen, a strong record. Lorde definitely benefits from the flashy and unique production more than the stripped down Beach Boys/Beatles inspired.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the raw vocals to carry with just her voice and her writing can come off as pseudo-deep and forced. Insert a vocoder like she did on “clearblue” and she instantly becomes more interesting to listen to.
Current Affairs is an instant standout
