Lorde's debut 'Pure Heroine' was a minimalist masterpiece. For her second album, this New Zealand singer makes a bold stylistic shift. With producers like Frank Dukes and Flume, she creates a rich electropop album centered on solitude. Lorde started working on it after a breakup, yet her intimate lyrics remain. Even with the enhanced musical style, her raw emotions shine through. Check out the energetic 'Green Light,' the percussive 'Homemade Dynamite.' 'Liability' is a subdued gem like her early works, and 'Perfect Places' is a stripped - down party track with a dark undertone. This vinyl comes with a printed inner sleeve, a full - color insert, and is from the Universal label in 2017. Reviewed by Rei Kwondo in April 2018.


To enjoy this vinyl, simply place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle. Make sure your turntable is clean and well - maintained for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, preferably in a protective sleeve when not in use. Don't expose it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can damage the vinyl and affect the sound. Enjoy the unique electropop experience that Lorde has crafted!
