Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #42: Lorde’s ‘Melodrama’

December 2, 2017 Albumism Staff

#42
Lorde | Melodrama
Lava/Republic/UMG | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Andy Healy: “Just as the party and escapism can’t last, eventually you have to go home. And soon the promise of finding those perfect places is twisted to be more a futile attempt at numbing pain and you have to embrace that fear of being alone. Thankfully though, sometimes you have a great soundtrack to keep you company amidst the despair and isolation.

At its broken heart, Melodrama is what a breakup sounds like. With all the heartache, laments, moments of melancholy and hopes of moving on intact. Growing pains and strains. Life, love and stains. At once a partner to—and antidote for—loneliness, it is a strong outing for an artist still embracing her creative journey.”
