LORDE - MELODRAMA ! FIRST TIME REACTION ! (Her vocals, *chefs kiss*)

This Melodrama album is the blueprint for what we have on alt-pop today. Billie Eilish and Olívia Rodrigo and even Taylor Swift got a lot from this

[@evan_sunprince]

Didn't Taylor work on reputation with the producer from this album?

[@alejandrooquendo726]

I highly doubt Melodrama influenced Lover, folklore or evermore (I'm not including reputation cause it was released in 2017 as well) even though Jack worked with Taylor in all of them

Fun Facts about Melodrama:. -Melodrama is one of the most acclaimed albums of all time with 91/100 on Metacritic. - The album is among the 500 best albums of all time. - Lorde has a neurological condition called Synesthesia, which allows her to see colors in the sound. (each melodrama song is color coded) - The sound "The Louvre" has real records of Lorde's heartbeat. - In the outro of "Supercut", Lorde gives us a trip to her conscience with "In my head I do everything right" - Melodrama was nominated for album of the year in 2018 grammys award and was the only woman nominated in that category, in front of great exponents of music such as Jay Z, Kendrik Lamar and Bruno Mars. Melodrama Forever 💙

[@FernStone]

Amazing info ! I also have Synesthesia . I’ve spoke about it in previous videos . That’s awesome that she has it too . I really enjoyed this album 💿

[@neontyler6663]

Amen! 💙 btw. The metacritic of it was 93 but i dunno why it went down to 91 now.

[@neontyler6663]

The ending of the Louvre is like making you feel you’re in the Louvre…. The louvre is one of the most famous museum in the world, it is in Paris, and its where the painting of Mona Lisa is Hanged. And that broadcast the boom boo boom boom is her heartbeat thats why the drop is her heart beating. Genius

[@FernStone]

I find it hilarious that by reading the word The Louvre I couldn't understand ,, but I know what the museum is ! hahah ! It's awesome ... been reading the lyrics ... perfect ! I usually do lyric reading in my vids but I was afraid it would be too long !

6:05 lorde's first album "pure heroine" was actually very stripped back, it influenced and created the minimalist wave of a lot of the music we hear today and the past 7 years.

[@nem447]

_"Megaphone to my chest, broadcast the boom boom boom!"_ The bass is the sound of her heart beat, hence no drop.

Hello. Thank you very much for your contribution to my Jar Of People Discovering Melodrama By Lorde. Lots of love from Brazil.

[@Raccocooney]

Lmao. Can't listen to melodrama for the first time again myself but I can watch other people do it 🤚😭😭😭

[@johnnytsunami420]

I get what you mean about not getting the classic lorde "hit" from Perfect Places. It's like you're waiting for a certain light bulb switch to go off. Like the euphoria of an "aha" moment. And it didn't come for me on the song until the ending and lyrics "what the fuck are perfect places anyways?". It's like the perfect ending of the album because it's just like the ending of a house party/night out when you have a lot on your mind. You go out, you have fun but when you start to sober up and remember what you have to return to and deal with you start questioning why you even went out in the first place. Which is why i consider it the true album finisher.

[@tantheta2184]

Lorde is such an amazing producer and writer. Btw she addresses her fans as her kids and her stans "kinda mockingly" call themselves elephants 😜 . Lorde stans have just gone crazy due to her lack of existence on this planet in the past 4 years. 😊

[@ilaisakoaneti534]

Lorde songwriting is top tier she gets the feeling and emotions out of you.

[@johnnytsunami420]

Watching people enjoy Melodrama for the first time is always such a treat. It's the only album I can think of where every single song has a purpose. There are no fillers or things that could be left out. Sometimes you are feeling in the mood for some songs on the album vs others but it's always worth another listen

[@abrarchowdhury9641]

only album? i love love love love love melodrama but there a bunch of others that do that too kendrick lamar's to pimp a butterfly fiona apple's fetch the bolt cutters for instance

[@briarelyse5136]

Green light isn't my fav, neither is solar power, but I hope the rest of the album will be like green light was to melodrama. I like perfect places cause it reminds me of hanging out with my friends and looking for awesome random places around our city. I saw Lorde in concert for both her albums and she legit made me cry with liability and some poetry she read. Loveless was awesome in concert to cause everyone was singing along. Can't wait to see her again in Feb for her next tour. I'm lucky I live in New Zealand.

[@nzgal3012]

loved watching your reaction, i get so envious of people who listen for the first time.. I always thought that greenlight was the type of song that is commercial but it hooks people in to want to try the rest of the album.. usually with no regrets :)

[@elm9026]

The female vocalist in the Homemade Dynamite Remix is SZA (pronounced sizza). Her 2017 album CTRL is amazing, so beautifully written, amazing lyrics, she has such a unique and interesting voice unlike anything else in the industry right now. I highly recommend listening and reacting!

[@TheEndIsTheStart]

Lorde actualy said that originally Green Light was meant to be the last track but instead she placed it first to foreshadow her need to find a "green light" and move on. I really recommend listening it at the end of the album at least once as it really puts the album in perspective.

[@ehianoctaviomorahernandez2624]

It actually makes so much sense of Sober being the song that opens the album.

[@jordandav100]

Love the reaction! It’s really interesting you say the backing vocals/background vocals sound angry/taunting in “Sober II (Melodrama)” because Lorde said in a podcast that each backing vocal she recorded she was trying to represent a mood/feeling she got from certain lyrics, so in some songs the harmonies were soothing and supportive but in some they were bratty and aggressive, and they all represent different voices in her/our head when we’re thinking about certain things within the album and that’s how she expressed the underlying tones of the songs we don’t even realise, she’s incredible! This is my favourite album of all time so I’m glad you enjoy it!

[@loux9239]

it's honestly crazy you (and another person who reacted to melodrama) managed to get the meaning of supercut on the first listen and related it back to the feeling of reminiscing on only the good parts of a relationship i listened to this song over 100 times before i finally got the true meaning, which makes sense cause i've always been single 😭

[@johnnytsunami420]

Its interesting how you said the line from Liability "...one girl standing alone stroking her cheek" (which i think is one of my favorite proses EVER) is really sad. When i first listened to it I thought it was sad too because it evokes a very lonely feeling but now that I am getting older and more sure in myself, I find that line, still sad, but also kind of reassuring. She's alone but also she has never betrayed herself. She will always keep love with relationship she has with herself. No matter how many people will come and go from her life she will always have herself and the people lucky enough for her to let into her life can "walk into the sun" (um Solar Power foreshadowing??) with her but the other will just watch because they lost her chance. It's almost like the song matured with me which is why it will always have a place in my heart and now when I hear it, it reminds me to never allow myself in any sort of relationship with anyone who leads me to think Im a "liability"
