Lorde’s expansive musical vocabulary not only as a creator, but also as an obsessive sponge, comes through as you explore the halls of Melodrama. Take “Supercut” or “Homemade Dynamite.” Both tracks offer a more convincing take on mainstream pop whilst still holding on to Lorde’s very essence as a singer-songwriter with cryptic, alluring rhymes and twisted lyrical observations backed with strong brain-drilling hooks.

And as pop fare goes, there are stronger tracks awaiting that feel that are truer to the artist Lorde is at her core. A symbol of emotionally waiting to move on from a failed relationship, “Green Light” is a jubilant opener if not a little too calculated. As the lead single and album opener, “Green Light” is a decided push into pure pop more akin to the kind that Taylor Swift co-opted with producer Jack Antonoff (who takes on co-producer duties here as well). Kicking off with “Green Light,” Lorde embraces her first night out following the dissolution of romance and the emotional baggage that goes with it. And what began with personal musings on heartache soon transformed into a quasi-concept album of the highs and lows of relationships set against the backdrop of a singular night in a house party, transporting the listener through different feelings of the night with different rooms and moods to explore. Written following the breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Lorde threw herself into her music as a coping mechanism as well as a cathartic outlet. A woman, perhaps more comfortable as an outsider looking in, who was now inside the fishbowl of fame looking out. A woman crushed and bruised by a failed relationship. A woman who had achieved the elusive fame she once viewed from a distance. In a pop landscape where artists seem to churn out releases as often as they change outfits, Lorde spent 4 years creating and crafting Melodrama, reflecting a period of growth from 16-year-old ingénue to a worldlier 20-year-old woman. With it, expectations for what her next chapter would be grew.

And before she knew it, her tiny corner of the world got a whole lot bigger. Then with the breakthrough of “Royals” (spanning the EP and her fully-fledged debut album Pure Heroine), her songs of observation and isolation written in the sleepy suburbs of New Zealand were suddenly thrust upon the world stage.

An artist free of expectations and baggage. When Lorde released her first musical adventure in 2013, the taut indie-pop electronica of The Love Club EP, she was an unknown quantity.
