LORDE - MELODRAMA (ALBUM REACTION)

[@lucasfernandesgrotto6279]

this album is the definition of masterpiece, it has SO MUCH replay value, i feel like Ella will never surpass this!! the production is just next level, the vocals are on point and the lyrics omg kinda transcendental. To be honest I think this album is just too personal to me lol

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

When you put it like that though… it kinda is 💖

[@TheNraveles]

What for me makes this a masterpiece is that it’s not just majorly acclaimed in the pop scene, it’s been acclaimed overall by even people who have been VERY critical about her as well. It’s just undeniably amazing. The name completely encompasses what the album is. It’s massively melodramatic and over exaggerated but also completely real to how she felt. It’s crazy. You can’t have melodrama without solar power imo and you can’t have solar power without melodrama. It’s all a story now. Pure Heroine is angst in it’s true form from a teenager. Melodrama is a young adult finding themself in the world and experiencing things for the first time. Solar Power is a woman who has solidified her own personhood and even though things may not be set in stone she’s finally had some solace in who she is. My top 5: 1. Liability 2. Green Light 3. Sober 2/Melodrama 4. Supercut 5. Homemade Dynamite

Loveeee the journey

[@cevvan]

my favourite album of all time, loved your guys reaction :')

[@loux9239]

the party is a metaphor for the relationship, but your interpretation is very interesting. love it when reaction channels delve into the meanings and lyrics of songs

[@NatKaori]

This is my favourite album of all time, glad you liked it too!

[@kyle-tg7bi]

“supercut… so is that her getting a haircut?” i’m screaming

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

We love a new haircut?

[@itsperpe]

My top 5 1. Green Light 2. The Louvre 3. Supercut 4. Sober 5. Perfect Places Melodrama Forever 💙

[@rangking1]

Immaculate taste

[@ClaytonGoldhawk]

Please listen to Pure Heroine! Its honestly a great album as well, also stands out uniquely like her other albums.

[@alexliu5884]

in hard feelings the line "Cause I remember the rush when forever was us" was a throwback to The Lourve where the outro was so long it forces you to remember how long it is and how haunting it is. The Lourve also mentions "a rush at the beginning" referring back to Sober

[@nem447]

_Lorde's_ voice does the heavy lifting, her instrumentals are all about a vibe, not any technical aspect or style.

[@darkyuck]

this is the greatest album of all time!

[@marciovelho747]

I like to think about the louvre's faded out as we getting the time to appreciate the relationship since that with liability comes the break up. Great reaction guys! Once you listen to this masterpiece with headphones is over for you lol

[@benjaminking2291]

React to SZA! If you have not dove into the masterpiece that is ‘CTRL,’ I would start there. If thy ears have already been blessed, you should check out her latest trio of singles, Good Days, Hit Different, and Hate U. (U won’t be sorry) btw love the channel! ☺️

[@evermorestan7943]

yessss

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

Lydia here and honey CTRL was one of the best albums of 2017 💚 I’ve recommended it to Jessie for years but we will do it on this channel 😇

[@mooglemage6456]

You guys are too cute lol glad you enjoyed the album! I wish I could hear Melodrama for the first time again!

[@AustinAshburn]

MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME

[@mattyrse]

girls you were talking in the best line of the louvre THE DISRESPECT

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

What was the line 👀

[@loux9239]

@@LydiaandJessiePlaylist i'm guessing it's "but we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the louvre (down the back, but who cares, still the louvre)"

[@loux9239]

@@LydiaandJessiePlaylist you didn't get the full experience of hearing the lyric but at least you read it!

[@afiefswift5403]

Not she keeps saying "solar panel" I'm dying -

[@mattdearest]

been waiting for thissss one 🤍 its v hard to choose top 3 but maybe liability, sober2 and the louvre 🤔 (also, 27:51 OKAY, JESSIE POLACHEK 💅 damn)

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

Omg stop I laughed out loud at Jessie’s Caroline note (where are the geese back up)

[@JuliannaL918]

Talked through some of the best lyrics rip

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

We do talk soooo much but there’s soooo many songs and sooooo many lyrics - your video would be 3x as long if we listened to every song thoroughly however you would have more dancing content 😎

[@lindelle__]

This is my favorite Lorde album. I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but Supercut is my favorite song from this album. I can’t choose between the rest of them because they are all great. But supercut is just vibes to me.

[@neontyler6663]

Album of the century

[@reeceoreilly9313]

Like so many others commenting, my all time favourite album! Really enjoyed your reaction, thank you! Not sure where you were drawing the lyric analysis / interpretation from, but I can’t help but feel that you were led astray by those comments which in my view failed to capture the essence of each track virtually every time! Better just to sit with the lyrics themselves I reckon. You’ll pick up the true meaning of each song and the album as a whole with repeat listens 😊 My top 3: 1 Hard Feelings / Loveless 2 Sober II 3 The Louvre

[@marccamivazquez8453]

my top 5 1. supercut 2. writer in the dark 3. the louvre 4. perfect places 5. hard feelings / loveless wtfff so harddddd

[@CallumboMagumbo]

Melodrama really kicked started the work Jack Antoff did with both Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey. I remember memes going around begging TS and LDR to stop taking Jack's time up so Lorde could release new music xD That said, Homemade Dynamite was co-wrriten by Tove Lo and is the only one not co-written by Jack (according to Wiki). Tove Lo is another great artist I think you should check out sometime! Favourite tracks are: Homemade Dynamite, Green Light, Writer in the dark and (when I need a sad song) Liability.

[@CallumboMagumbo]

There's also a nice remix of Homemade dynamite with SZA, Khalid and Post Malone that adds some great vocals of artists I don't know much about!

[@CallumboMagumbo]

I haven't seen Eternals yet :'( (I'll forget by the time it comes to Disney+ so no harm)

[@CallumboMagumbo]

I reckon check out Pure Heroin, it's the album I revisit the least but very much enjoy it. I'm not sure I could say if I like Melodrama or Solar Power more - Melodrama definitely hit harder and for longer but I lose myself in Solar Power and every listen feels better. Mood Ring is my favourite Lorde song for sure.

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

Love all these comments!! Jack Antonoff has his rounds with the pop girlies and I just have to stan… and I have heard many things about the Homemade Dynamite remix!! We will definitely finish off our Lord journey 🖤

[@maybetomorrrrow]

YES TOVE LO SHE IS A QUEEN

[@Ravenscannotfly]

This was a great reaction n.n Had a feeling y'alls would really click with this album

[@andreygirl]

ok ok time for me, an amateur poet with a propensity to misinterpret art so it relates to my emotions better, to explain my extremely strong feelings surrounding 'sober ii (melodrama)', because *gee golly* am i passionate about that song. so to me she's talking, the whole time, about romanticism as a concept. a lot of artists (speaking from experience here) tend to romanticize extremely negative and painful emotions in order to utilize them in their art; being an artist is inherently melodramatic, because u have to dramatize and exaggerate every emotion u feel in order to create something from it. all artists are people who, if i may create my own word really quickly, 'over-feel' things, which is basically the definition of melodrama. so i think what she's saying with this song is like, yes, _this_ is melodrama. this is what happens when u create art. u feel everything much more deeply and everything becomes much more painful. sure, i've created beautiful music because of my emotions, but here is this 'terror' and this 'horror': in order to romanticize everything i feel, i have to feel it much more deeply. we told u _this_ was melodrama. like, it's not fun, it's not painless to create what she does. this is melodrama. it's romanticism to an extreme and it's not really an enjoyable experience. it also serves as a thesis statement for the album, because she's discussing how much pain she went through to be able to write the songs that she did. she says, in this song, 'god, i wonder why we bother,' and i think that's so telling as to how she feels about this type of dramatization in general. anyway. this probably has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the song but it's _so_ personal to me as a poet and i've never gotten to talk about it before!! ironically i am currently wearing my melodrama vinyl earrings lmfao. (this reaction is great btw

[@LydiaandJessiePlaylist]

Wow wow wow. Tbh I think you summed up “melodrama” really well with this! You can see how much meaning people pull from artists songs, it’s amazing 💗 and aw we’re glad you enjoyed 🥰

[@kyle-tg7bi]

you defiently need to listen to pure heroine ❤️

[@charliescirclez]

I think you two would enjoy the album “Stranger Songs” by Ingrid Michaelson. My top 3: Sober, Hard Feelings/Loveless, Sober II (Melodrama) This album is a bookmark of a crazy time in my life and I found so much comfort listening to it.

[@connorlee2820]

Sober, The Louvre, and perfect places are my favs ❤️❤️❤️

[@loux9239]

supercut, hard feelings/loveless, and liability are definitely my favs

[@CharlesJrkris]

“I am a toy that people enjoy til all of the tricks don’t work anymore…and then they are bored of me” This HURTS Also all the noises in Hard Feelings is probably the best thing ever.
