It's also known as "Molly" in some circles, particularly for those who use it as a party stimulant. Perhaps most interestingly, Lorde said her 2017 second album "Melodrama" is associated with MDMA, an abbreviation for the drug commonly known as ecstasy. Several songs seem to take place at drunken house parties, including the fan-favorite track "Ribs," which begins, "The drink you spilt all over me." Her 2013 debut "Pure Heroine," which deals with themes of teen angst and suburban isolation, was shaped by Lorde's early experiences with alcohol. Lorde recently discussed her reclusive creative process in her October cover story for Vogue, including the influences she's been under during each era.Īs paraphrased by Vogue's Rob Haskell, the 24-year-old pop star revealed "her albums can be distinguished by the drugs she was using when making them." Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. Lorde previously said "Solar Power" started as a "big acid record," but then she had a bad trip. She said "Pure Heroine" is alcohol, "Melodrama" is MDMA, and "Solar Power" is cannabis. Lorde recently told Vogue her albums can be distinguished by drugs she was using at the time. Born to Die is meant to be appreciated as slippery, elusive pop Pure Heroine seems to hint at the truth.but the truth is, Lorde is a pop invention as much as LDR and is not nearly as honest about her intentions.Lorde performs at the iHeartRadio Beach Ball in 2017. There is a topical appeal here, particularly because Lorde and Little do spend so much time on the surface, turning it into something seductive, but it is no more real than the studied detachment of Lana Del Rey, who Lorde so strongly (and intentionally) resembles. Where Lana Del Rey favors a studiously detached irony, Lorde pours it all out which, in itself, may be an act: her bedsit poetry is superficially more authentic but the music is certainly more pop, both in its construction - there are big hooks in the choruses and verses - and in the production, which accentuates a sad shimmer where everything is beautiful and broken. Lorde favors a tragic romanticism, an all-or-nothing melodrama that Little accentuates with his alternately moody and insistent productions. Pure Heroine cannot be divorced from the youth of its singer given its themes, but I feel this is a boon to the record. Especially this project, when considering how young she was when it was released. See how this album was rated and reviewed by the users of. Lorde, as any pre-release review or portrait helpfully illustrated, was only 16 when she wrote and recorded Pure Heroine with producer Joel Little, and an adolescent aggrievance and angst certainly underpin the songs here. User reviews & ratings for the album Pure Heroine (Extended) by Lorde. After several unsuccessful sessions with songwriters, Lorde was paired with Joel Little by A&R representative Scott Maclachlan, who assisted with the album's production. For an album written by a (I’m professionally obligated to say this) sixteen-year-old, Pure Heroine is a remarkably jaded affair, as eager to dismantle the vapidity and bloated emptiness of pop culture as it is to ponder the seemingly eternal state of affairs that is being a teenager. It was released on 27 September 2013 by Universal, Lava, and Republic Records. Lana Del Rey is a self-created starlet willing herself into stardom but Lorde fancies herself a poet, churning away at the darker recesses of her soul. Pure Heroine is the debut studio album by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde. If this story in the early years of the 2010s brings to mind Lana Del Rey, it's no coincidence that it also applies to New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde, whose 2013 debut, Pure Heroine, contains all of the stylized goth foreboding of LDR's Born to Die and almost none of the louche, languid glamour. She wrote on her own, then she was paired with a sympathetic producer/songwriter, live performances taking a back seat to woodshedding. Signed to a major label at an early age, she was groomed in the darkness of studios, the label knowing the potential they had in their singer/songwriter.
