Lorde's debut album 'Pure Heroine' was a minimalist masterpiece. For her second album, this New Zealand singer makes a bold stylistic shift. Teaming up with producers like Frank Dukes and Flume, Lorde creates a rich electropop album focused on solitude. She started working on it after a breakup, yet her intimate lyrics remain. Despite the enhanced musical style, her raw emotions shine through. Check out tracks like the upbeat 'Green Light,' the percussive 'Homemade Dynamite,' the mellow 'Liability,' and the stripped - down 'Perfect Places' with a dark undertone. This deluxe edition comes on 180 - gram, translucent royal blue colored vinyl. It includes a gatefold jacket, a bi - fold lyric booklet with six double - sided photo inserts.

To enjoy this vinyl, just place it on your turntable and start the playback. Make sure your turntable is in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, return the vinyl to its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it. For the lyric booklet and photo inserts, handle them gently to prevent tearing. If they get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them clean.
