"It's been months since Lorde dropped Melodrama, her follow-up to 2013's Pure Heroine, but I can't seem to get it out of my head. Songs like 'Green Light' and 'Supercut' are full of the inventive, emotional lyrics and addictive beats the New Zealand singer-songwriter is known for, but Melodrama also makes it clear that she's maturing as an artist. Each song, unique and relatable in its own way, has the uncanny ability to feel intimate and huge — sweeping 21st century pop sung to you, and you alone. If we have to wait another four years for her next musical evolution, at least we know it'll be worth it." — Quinn Keaney, assistant editor
