I don't want to like her, but I do.


It's her accent. I hate it. But I also love it.

I can't believe she's 17. 17, and she isn't doing the whole pop idol thing. I just watched her do a live thing, and she just stands there, awkwardly, just singing really well. And teenage girls hate it because she's not Miley Cyrus or Brittany Spears. And that's amazing.


Okay, I submit.

I'm starting to understand why I like this album so much, and all of the rest of her music. It's a vivid capture of someone's talented musical ability and a very honest picture of growing up and dealing with realism versus idealism. I listen to this album and hear a catchy dance pop that borders on the edge of someone who is enamored with their youth and lack of maturity and an immediate switch over to isolation and change of heart. A lot of the lyrics are blatant about fear and the experience of growing older and losing the things that you enjoyed about your friends and your childhood. I think everyone's gone through the point where everyone who were your friends kind of scatter and you start viewing them in a different light as you get older.

Sometimes I feel like some of the writing is immature but the more I think about it, the more it kind of fits in the picture as a whole of what the album is trying to say. One minute it can be some line about youth or etc that is harder to relate to if you're not 16, and then within the same song, some very well written lines about blood, teeth, and et cetera with symbolism and skill that would make a lot of well known songwriters green with envy. All of it is wrapped up in some very interesting and good music and hooks, exemplified by the creativity of those involved. I'm interested in what comes next, and how popularity, different experiences, and Lorde being older changes the way the music sounds, whether it's less honest and more commercialized, or not.

I got that Phantogram album. The first three tracks are amazing. Like, I've never heard anything so awesome. Then it just kind of trails off.... :\

I know, and I hate it. I found myself restarting the album before I even finished it. I'll have to give it another couple spins to determine my appreciation for it. Bad Dreams sounded pretty good after a couple of plays.

This song, from one of my favorite albums, is one of my all time favorite tracks ever. It always makes me sad but hopeful.

Sigh.

I agree. This is my choice REM track. The song itself stands so well on its own but it also makes for a great ending to the album.

All I've been listening to lately is junk like this, thanks to Saints Row IV.

I love this collaboration, between two very talented artists. She has a lot of really strange music, but sometimes her voice shines in the really down to earth stuff. I listen to this video a lot.

Great cover, very cool sound and I just can't get it out of my head. Very well done, the low bass against the high pitched rings gives a unique pop sound.

That was actually really awesome. Different for Beck, but I like it. Sounds like Coldplay's wall of sound without Chris Martin's beached wail mopey sadness.
