ANDREW DICKENS: Music

Lorde 'Melodrama' - Andrew's verdict: 9/10

A rich, textured album that is a progression from the spare Pure Heroine.  Lyrically extremely impressive, the album accurately reflects the melodrama of her past 4 years and is a soundtrack for a millennial’s life.  There are a few misses but they’re only misses because the hits are so well constructed.  A real album.  Artistically strong with the ability to be commercially successful.  Pretty awesome!
