Albums of the Year - Staff Picks

Lorde's sophomore album Melodrama. Available here on Translucent Royal Blue Colored LP, Standard LP and CD.

Lorde captures emotions like none other. Her second album is a masterful study of being a young woman, a sleek and humid pop record full of grief and hedonism, crafted with the utmost care and wisdom. Melodrama is Lorde’s study of being a young woman finding her own conviction in unsteady circumstances. Sometimes, this also involves being single—a breakup and a raucous house party serve as thematic through-lines—but romance is only part of the album’s script. In the difficult, exhilarating course of the record, written largely when Lorde was 18 and 19, her true reward comes with her embrace of self. As a nod to her clearest pop forbearer, her peace is in accepting that she will, sometimes, end up dancing on her own.

LP+ - Translucent royal blue colored vinyl. Double gatefold jacket double sided record sleeve. Bi-fold lyric booklet with 6 double sided photo inserts.
