Bonny Reacts to PURE HEROINE by Lorde

[@guillefdeez747]

why everyone is just appreciating how Bonnie's hair is giving major Lorde 'Pure Heroine' vibes, also while Emily's hair perfectly channels Taylor Swift's '1989' era. It's like they're capturing the essence of that iconic 2014 music scene where both albums absolutely dominated

I think this album is the reason why some albums like ultraviolence, reputation, and wwafawdwg (billies debut) exist or did well . She started this melancholic dark-synth sound in pop back in 2012 when every song was bright and fun

[@chatsandreacts]

COMPLETELY agree. Lorde's impact is so underrated, there is soooo much music that is so clearly inspired by her

[@kyle_likes_music]

The dark moody pop girl albums with the black and white covers really did run the early 2010s

[@TryingtoreachsubswithNovideos]

Are you sure lana didn’t start it with born to die it was also dark synth pop I mean look at dark paradise

[@elizabethg2136]

Definitely agreed. Lorde and Lana ushered in a new kind of pop girl sound.

[@SophieCarlon]

With 'Tennis Court', Lorde stated at the time she was obsessed with royalty and history, and there's a really pivotal moment in the French Revolution where revolutionaries were locked out of the offical meeting hall so they instead met on a tennis court. So the song can also be referring to that - hey I'm here to rock the music industry, and if you're not going to let me in, we'll just 'go down to the tennis court and talk it up.'

[@lakshyarajsinghtanwar]

[@mallorykay1816]

you should 1000% check out The Love Club EP it is SO underrated and really adds to the portrait of this early stage in her career!! the title track kinda extends the narrative of tennis court, but from a slightly later moment where she’s becoming famous and being surrounded by a bunch of social climbers and poking fun at their absurdity and the weird shit they do to be a part of the “love club” of celebrity/fame. just generally so concerning that she wrote these songs at 16 and crazy how they continue to age so well sonically and lyrically

[@honeychild4]

Also, there's a version of Pure Heroine (extended play) and she added the The Love Club EP songs to with. So they definelty live in the Pure Heroine Universe.

[@deescovery]

the timing of this reaction warms my heart. i just gifted this album to my 15 year old nephew for christmas, who is also getting into taylor and more music in general, because he loves writing and music. the themes that comforted me and that meant so much to lorde (and the world) while she wrote them AT HIS AGE, will live on in the next generation. it's so beautiful and timeless.

This debut album by Lorde is the reason why David Bowie used to say she’s the future of music.

[@christalyon6038]

also what’s so illegal that on ribs she says “this dream isn’t feeling sweet” which reminds of teenage dream (by katy) and how everyone when they get older wants to feel like a teenager but it’s never that way when your a teen😭🙏. and after pure heroine came out, pop was never the same bubbly pop everything is ok feeling anymore (like teenage dream was😭) AND OLIVIA SAYS IT TOO IN TEENAGE DREAM UGHH.

[@Robertdbd20]

[@katharinaweber7604]

I loved this format where one of you knows the album better and the other one is reacting! Please more of that.

[@missmagic707]

Lorde's is her stage name, she added the letter e to make "Lord" more feminine, she wanted a strong name with grandeur. She grew up reading poetry (her mum is a poet) and was really interested in royalty and aristocracy. She has always been scarily self aware and wise beyond her years

[@ambernsh]

this album and tumblr combined have made me who i am today. the year of 2013 was so superior

[@Lena-fn4xu]

finally got the pure heroine and melodrama vinyls for christmas and now you published this, what perfect timing I LOVEEEE LORDE

[@honeychild4]

"Why did she name it Pure Heroine?" I think in many ways, the title "Pure Heroine" is apposite to Lorde herself. In the early 2010s, she was a heroine with a pure message - a message of honesty and humanity that resonated with everyone, from fans to her fellow musicians. And "pure" is often used when a drug is good. So I think it's the juxtaposition of pure heroin (drug) and pure heroine, as the female of hero, because she places herself as the “heroine” of her own narrative/of the words she imagines and sings about.

[@rickylosangels]

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU REACTED TO PURE HEROINE !!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME 🖤🖤 OMGGGGGGG I was NOT expecting that

[@nicussor]

Live, Laugh, Love Lorde! I would love a reaction video for “Preacher’s Daughter”, by Ethel Cain from you! It is a concept album and, in my opinion, one of the best albums ever made.

[@matthewmorrin1974]

[@lizziehays1390]

If they reacted to preachers daughter I would DIEEE

[@katadvised]

[@BrunetteGiant]

Obsessed with this and clicked immediately! But the only correction I would make is that Lorde had definitely written these songs before she released Royals. She had so many songs written before she even got a recording contract. Some of them she wrote at 13 and 14

[@morside7806]

hi Bonny & Emily, I've been watching your reactions (on repeats) to TS albums and really enjoying all of them. I think you guys have the most genuine (and informative) reactions, particularly for those who aren't really familiar with all the "easter eggs" in TS songs. However, I'm also fan of Adele. I think that she's one of the most 'stable' in the music industry (I mean that in terms of staying afloat throughout the years). Your video reactions to her album(s) will be a fantastic thing to watch!

[@Kim_golden13]

Ribs is one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so nostalgic and it just reminds me of when I was little, and how much I wish I was still a kid. It really does feel scary getting old.

[@siessdanielle]

i love how much emily loves 400 lux because SAAAAME !!! i also think the “hollow” lyric really points to maybe how they were feeling as teens in that time. like teens are sad lol & feel hollow & helpless a lot of the time. i think AS a teen listening to this album when it came out you can reaaaaaally understand the throwaway thoughts she (and her friends / boys / etc) was having at the time bc it’s just so on brand for teenagers

This album came out when I was 14 and I am so grateful for that. It narrated my teenage experience. It was so deeply relevant to me and my friends. Not just lyrically but sonically, it captured the vibe so perfectly.

[@marieduardabrandao]

I love that in "still sane" she references the phrase "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy" from the movie "The Shining". It's interesting that in the movie the character writes this phrase repeatedly when he's losing his sanity and in this song Lorde's talking about being sane but like one day she'll lose it.

[@jfw7820]

In buzzcut season when she says “So now we live beside the pool where everything is good” I always took that to be like you keep saying its fine but you were literally on fire, so let’s just live by the pool now where you can keep playing/insisting you’re fine but if you catch fire again the waters here to put you out. And the rest of the song is her talking about how she wishes she could ignore all the problems in the world like he does and how nice it must be to not constantly be afraid of the world around you

[@paisleigh1989]

I have always thought of Still Sane being the most truthful of her attitude of fame at that time, where she doesn’t quite know how to deal with it and she’s admitting she’s not totally comfortable yet with what is going to happen but is confident in herself that she will become comfortable, she will understand it, and she will become the best she’s just got to get her head round it first Glory and Gore is the same sort of thing to me but more bolsterous and more convincing herself that she HAS to accept the destruction that comes with fame and that she likes it, that even in her moments where she thinks would she rather be “free”, she reminds herself that now freedom means being on top in the ring so she can do whatever she want
