I love that the album opens with "Don't you think its boring how people talk" and ends with "people are talking, let them talk" It make for a lovely transition if you are listening to the album on repeat. secondly, I think it shows a growth of like "we are doing our thing and fuck everyone else" by the end

Let's be real, Ribs redefined what a pop song is and could be with its complete disregard for standard song structure and composition. The fact that it quickly rose in popularity spoke volumes. People were tired of being fed the same formula. It paved the way for what we have now

Listening to this album for the first time retroactively it's important to consider the context. When _Pure Heroine_ was released in 2013, it influenced and changed pop music with its subject matter, tone, sparse electro beats and minimalism. Kinda ironic as it was made on a tiny budget and basic equipment. The colorful word pallet is impressive considering she was 16. *_influenced by Lorde_* Billie Eilish Halsey Melanie Martinez Broods Tove Lo Troye Sivan Banks Kiiara Bebe Rexha MØ The Neighborhood Daya Alessia Cara Hailee Steinfeld Zara Larss Taylor Swift _There's probably more but I think I made my point._

Billie Eilish didn't released her first song until 2015, and copied Lorde by releasing it on Soundcloud. Her first full album wasn't until 2019 and sounds a lot like Pure heroine in style. That dark teen angst, sparse electro beats, even the vocal style...Just sayin.

pure heroine is my favorite lorde album it just really feels like a nostalgic coming of age album to me. top three songs are ribs, glory and gore, and buzzcut season (replace buzzcut season with bravado if we're counting extended tracks! which you should do!)

Notice how the album starts with “don’t you think it’s boring how people talk” and ends with “let them talk”!

ribs and buzzcut season are my comfort songs... ribs just does something to me

Her Brain at the very young age is astonishing… she’s a walking poetry. ❤️ Her lyrics at this album was already insane.. she’s so unique And this album changes the modern pop. And how artists got inspired by her.

I think her mother is a big influence-she is a published poet and has won awards and is also a teacher.

Lorde exhibited so much talent and artistry at the age of 17. Her mother played a big role in this. Her mother is an award-winning poet in New Zealand and also a teacher. She encouraged Ella (Lorde) to read variety of genres and this influenced her songwriting skills. Her style, starting with Royals, changed pop music (that's why she reminds you of Billie Eilish among others). Lorde is famous for using the myxolydian mode of chord structure hence you feel that her music seems to sit somewhere in between minor and major chords. Her music ushered in the minimalist and experimental style of pop---from the vocals to the sounds. Pure Heroine is all about youth and the disillusionment and bravado that come with it. Melodrama is all about relationships (I watched your video reaction to the album---thanks for the wonderful review! and your voice sounds so great). In between Pure Heroine and Melodrama, she broke up with her boyfriend of several years. I think that influenced the direction of Melodrama. For me, Pure Heroine is angsty; Melodrama is angry (but her anger here is the type that comes with sadness and occasional despair and self-loathing). My favorites from this album are 400 Lux, Ribs, and Team. But I like Melodrama more---it's in my list of my top albums of all time. I guess I enjoyed getting caught up in her storm. David Bowie once caller her the future of music and she was chosen by Bowie's family to sing Life on Mars (together with Bowie's own band) at the BRIT Awards' tribute to David Bowie after his death.

I never noticed this until watching your reaction but it almost feels like Buzzcut Season is about imagining you're with a loved one during a War. Or imagining you're living in a more peaceful time with that loved one

Yessss ive been waiting

it's the first video reaction about Pure Heroine i really enjoyed til the end, thank you so much, LOVE YOOOOOU, hope someday you'll react to M.I.A. - MATANGY album it is insane how people sleep on her talent

Loved this reaction. I’ve seen you’ve done a Bjork reaction (as part of your Arca deep drive), but you NEED to listen (and hopefully love) her album, Homogenic. It’s an absolute classic. And your synesthesia will go into overdrive in the best possible way.

I.m.h.o. this first album is still her best creative work so far. For me nothing came close to it afterwards, yet. Love the experimental sound expressions on that in combination with lyrics sharp as a blade and as self-reflective as sometimes sarcastic.

Someone most definitely has pointed this out already but I LOVE how the album begins with "Don't you think that it's boring how people talk?" and ends with "Let them talk"... Also, it's very notable how Lorde uses body parts a lot in her lyricism - sometimes even in a gory way - and seems especially "obsessed" with teeth. A lot of her songs, especially on this album but even on Melodrama, have several mentions of teeth: "Dreams of clean teeth" (400 Lux), "I cut my teeth on wedding rings" and "gold teeth" (Royals), "A hundred jewels between teeth" (Team), White Teeth Teens the entire song, "Well those great whites/rumours, they have big teeth" (Green Light), "I'm closing my teeth around this liquor-wet lime" (Sober) 400 Lux is probably my favourite track, I love the semi random orange juice line and especially love how the title is both a reference to light, sunsets and sunrises, and a reference to the luxurious lives of celebrities and the ruling class etc. that the whole album is about. It's all just so clever.

Love the wig! Rich!

Glory and Gore is my fav

I totally agree with what you said at the end. As a whole I like Pure Heroine more but Melodrama has some great standout tracks.

I think this is going to be a big comment, so... Sorry for that already hahaha And english isn't my first language, so there might be a few mistakes. Anyway, Fern, have you ever considered reacting to artist that don't sing in english? I don't recall seeing such thing in your channel. I'm asking you this because I'd love to see your reaction on a Brazilian artist named Duda Beat and her album "Te Amo Lá Fora", but it's in Portuguese. I would happily translate the lyrics and send you if you wanted to react to it, cause I really like your reactions. I don't know if you're going to like it (I think you will thogh), but I definitely believe it's going to be a very different experience for you. Anyways, even if you won't react to it (😭😭😭), I think It wouldn't be a waste of time for you to listen to it by your own. I know you probably don't have a lot of Brazilians subscribers, but it could be an opportunity to have their attention (we click and watch basically any video there's brazilian stuff, specially if our flag is on the tumbnail). Sorry for making such a big comment, loved the reaction and the make up and wish you a good day :)
