Lorde

[scatteredscreens]

Early days but I hope this single isn't too indicative.

The press release also has me worried strangely enough 😂

 

[mike46]

Anyone else getting Primal Scream vibes from the ending? Very Come Together-esque 

 

EDIT - I see I’m not the first to mention that, should have read back a page 🙈

Must be her worst song to date surely? I love Lorde and can’t wait for the album but that is a very strange single haha

There needs to be an industry wide memo to remove Jack Antonoff from consideration on any big releases for the next few years.

Post Billie Eilish it's hardly surprising that she's cleaved off in a slightly different direction.

While he is becoming too ubiquitous  the quality of albums like NFR!, folklore and Melodrama speaks for itself.

First listen on my walk this morning and I have to say it’s a nice listen, nothing that makes me worry about her next album.  It’s one of those sit in the sun with a drink in hand surrounded by friends type of songs (is the best way I can describe it)

Big patronising. Seasonal differences between Northern and Southern hemispheres ain't that confusing, Lorde.

He might be on the Bleachers promo trail for the next 18 months or so.

The first paragraph of that press release reads like a pass. agg. third-person Facebook meme from a "both fire and ice" woman who collects crystals and tries to convince everyone she's a witch. That's just been dumped. Again.

Yeah, 1989, folklore, NFR, Melodrama, Masseduction all renowned for being duff records.

And Christ, you lot sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It’s a press release for fucks sake. These things are often a load of waffle. Let’s see what the record is like.

First Billie, now Lorde…

2021: The Year of No Bangers.

Can't wait for The Prodigy's acoustic album later this year

Clearly tongue in cheek, that bit.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Shame The Guv'nor is no longer around for remix duties.

Is it different when you wake up on one side of bed in the Southern Hemisphere? It's reversed right? Very hard to wrap my little head around, some might say bordering on impossible.

You’ve taken a press release incredibly personally 😂

[Hugh Jass]

The song is decent, but there’s a reason why Lorde is a musician and not working in PR…

[danmarks]

Sounds likeca polyphonic spree album track. Keep waiting for it to start then it's over. Whats with all this whispering malarkey now too?  Thought that had died out with that ellie Goulding john lewis advert.

Me reading the press release:

Next week: Lorde’s PR team put out the banger of the summer.

Radiates condescending, trite, Coachella-ish living my best life upper class airs and graces. No nuance, just bad energy. Kind of person who snaps fingers at a waiter

She has always come across with a pretty detestable main character air about her, hasn't she?

I guess the hype used to be enough to obscure it, however.

[jparx]

Me seeing that Dental has commented on the Lorde thread

She’s been a golden child for a long time so it doesn’t surprise me. If I became world famous at 15-16 I’d probably be a bit out out touch too.

Maybe her arse is on the cover because that’s where she believes the Solar Power is emanating from?

[Baggins7]

Serious Midsommar vibes from the vid. Don’t mind the tune though

[Matt42]

Dua does seem to be the only pop girl outright giving bangers right now.
