[@mooglemage6456]

One does not simply forget about Melodrama. Also, on the topic of how influential Lorde was, she literally changed the pop landscape. It's easy to forget how much Pure Heroine completely turned the scene on its head, since it's been over a decade, and Lorde releases albums MUCH slower than most artists. Before Lorde, pop was very much house/EDM influenced, and people were getting sick of it. When Royals came out, it offered a new perspective, a new sound....it was the antithesis of the "Party Like a Rockstar" era. Lorde sums it up best with her lyric from her song Team - "I'm kinda over getting told to throw my hands up in the air." She spoke, and so it came to be. Lana del Rey, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Olivio Rodrigo... emotional, stripped back music became the next big thing in pop, and it's still very much going strong.

[@conormcfall5436]

Lorde & Lana changed the game imo. I think it’s starting to shift back again but Lorde was just on Brat so she’s at the forefront again.

[@mooglemage6456]

@@conormcfall5436 Yes, 100%. Lana Del Rey hit the scene with "Summertime Sadness" in 2012, and although it did exceptionally well for an indie pop song (especially on online spaces like Tumblr, which no doubt contributed to its massive, although slow burn ascent) it wasn't until the Cedric Gervais remix that came out in 2013 that really gave it its wings with the general public. Combined with the fact that Royals had hit the ground running, a smash hit right out of the gate, just months prior to the release of that remix, It was kind of the perfect storm - the aforementioned Gervais remix of Summertime Sadness still had the bass heavy, EDM sounds that were already on the airwaves, but combined with this new sound - melancholy, heartfelt, and introspective. It offered a reprieve to the stale and "party like it's you're last night on Earth" sounds that had dominated the airwaves the past 10 years. It was in a sense giving the best of both worlds, and the perfect bridge to have these two styles of pop. I liken it to the feeling you get when, after a week of indulging in Taco Bell and Oreos - both of which have their merits and purpose - to having an amazing fresh salad and perfectly cooked salmon...and it's an incredible palate cleanser.

[@alicjaaa3318]

[@manon-xk4un]

In the song the Louvre, when she says "they'll hang us in the Louvre" may have a double meaning cause the Louvre is this amazing art museum in Paris but it also was a site of execution in the 12th century, so people were literally hanged in the Louvre and this interpretation aligns with the fact that she is exploring different death scenarios during Melodrama anyway this album is a masterpiece, i discovered it at 17 and it changed my life

[@CrazieTrayzie]

David Bowie once said "She's the future of music" Lorde influenced a lot new artists including Taylor Swift who changed her sound. Green Light is also not your traditional pop composition. The thing with Lorde is she's very different and a lot of artists copied her style and sound. But since she writes her own music and lyrics she's always going to be ahead of time and others will need to be more original, learn good writing

[@MarkS_1768]

I’ve always thought it was a shame he never lived to hear Melodrama but he knew there was true greatness inside her and he was proved right.

[@freddierenoiz]

@@MarkS_1768 i really think the lyric “all of our heroes fading, now i can’t stand to be alone” is a Bowie (and George Michael) homage

[@jayciruperto5518]

she never influenced Taylor shut your mouth

[@CrazieTrayzie]

@@jayciruperto5518 Listen here Swiftie, after ditching her country roots, Taylor took a more pop-driven, nostalgia-tinged approach with 1989. There are OBVIOUS detectable influences of Lorde and Lana Del Rey,in her 1989. Specifically referencing "I Know Places," "Clean," and "Blank Space," Taylo Swift adopts a more "moody, electro-minimalist vibe" simliar to that of Lorde and picks up a breathy technique Lana Del Ray normally has (with the lyrics to match). So whether or not Swift did consciously, or subconsciously, borrowing the stylings of Lorde and Lana Del Rey to adopt a more dark, less "Teardrops On My Guitar" sound, the question remains: why did she change her sound? How original IS she. Because hunty, Lorde is O-RI-GI-NAL. The truth is, your IDOL Taylor Swift made a move in her career that pushed herself out of her box and presented an evolution of her sound, by ripping off Melodrama and steaming Lorde's sound.

I never liked Lorde because of Royals. Years ago, she played at a festival I went to see another band, and I ended up in the front rows. When Lorde started playing, I thought about leaving at first, but I stayed. I’m lucky to say I heard these songs live for the first time, practically right in front of her. I still remember jumping with the crowd during ‘Supercut,’ not understanding how I could feel so alive from a song I had just heard for the first time.
