I waited for three years for this?

I threw up in my mouth a little. How? Why? WTF happened?!

Of course the pop song is gonna be her comeback single. She will have other more brooding songs like her previous projects, I guarantee it. But you've gotta dominate Spotify before you dominate the summer. Plus it's not even that bad

I think he meant that she looks like a literal witch now

No it isn't her look, I couldn't care less about that.
It was the terrible song. So disappointed. If this is the direction she's going, she should have just stayed gone.

this feels like something she wrote for the radio, it's disappointing

It was better than the other stuff I've heard from her. That last minute was p good. Lorde was never great though, whyd you wait 3 years for something you knew would be acceptable radio music?

I mean this is still a good song.
I'm actually surprised with how good it is. Composition of it is rock solid.

It's not a bad song. It's probably one of the more enjoyable Lorde songs I've heard (not really a fan, which explains why).

As a whole though, I can understand why fans of her wouldn't like it, since it stripped her of what made her unique and just turned her into generic 80's pop song throwback artist.

Maybe you shouldn't expect radio pop artists to be your source of art, kids.

It's a great pop song, way more creative and "experimental" than Katy Perry or Taylor Swift or Carly Rae Jepsen.

its pretty wank desu

I like the chorus but otherwise I'm not too sure how I feel about this.

She sounds like she has a mouth full of marbles...Over a Taylor Swift beat.
Yuk! I really hope this isn't the best she has to offer now, and it's just a one off blip.
I really like her in general.

I'm not a huge fan of the song either, but the way I see it is there will be better songs on the album. Remember that Royals was the lead single off of Pure Heroine. The label needs a single. But regardless definitely like the song more than I like royals and I don't feel entirely dissapointed

This, Royals was probably the worst song on PH

Yeah I hated Royals too. Tennis court and Team for me.

>trusting Lorde

buzzcut season was the best track, imo

>

>not Ribs or 400 Lux

Thanks user, I hadn't heard that. Good song, helps make up for some of the crushing disappointment I felt a couple hours ago. Cheers

can you believe she's just 17 years old? holy fuck

three years ago. She's 20

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorde

O I am laffin

Well Fuck You, I liked it.

NIGGA what the FUCK are you on

Seems like a regular Lorde song. Don't know why you're all so butthurt

goddamn she's aging

she looked 40 when she was 18

she needs to perform this song at an awards show asap, it's more suited for live imo
the mv does the song justive though
also the ''im waiting for it that greenlight i want it'' bits sound like kate bush to me

song's ok, builds up nicely. happy we're going to get an album this year.

nice

>"The song is actually about a heartbreak. And it’s not something that I really am used to writing about. It took me a while to be able to figure out how to write about that. It was my first major heartbreak. The song is really about those moments kind of immediately after your life changes and about all the silly little things that you gravitate towards. I say, “She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a liar”. What the fuck, she thinks you like the beach?! You don’t like the beach! It’s those little stupid things. It sounds so happy and then the lyrics are so intense obviously. And I realized I was like, “how come this thing is coming out so joyous sounding?” And I realized this is that drunk girl at the party dancing around crying about her ex-boyfriend who everyone thinks is a mess. That’s her tonight and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. And that’s the song for me."

>"Green Light is officially out in the world, and i am so pleased to share with you that this song is the first from my sophomore record, Melodrama. this is the cover, painted by sam mckinniss. welcome to the new world."

Stop larping as Lorde. It's cringy...

>I do my makeup in somebody else's car
>We order different drinks at the same bars
>That SUV

Ugh what pandering normieshit, Lana wins again

Wait did Lorde and that chink break up? Is Lordes nasty pale ass back on the market?

Lorde is manufactured and she sucks.

Yeah, I think she's running with a bad crowd. I feel the Disney creeping in like the virus that it is.

Holy shit it's really you

What is this fucking tone/twang/thing that so many chicks these days are trying to get into their voice? It's a kind of artifice. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's maybe a kind of throwback to a 1920s vibe or something. I'm noticing it from quite a few female singers these days. Anyone else noticing it? She's doing it here big time and it's irritating as fuck.

Yeah not a fan. I wasn't expecting Pure Herione 2.0, but this is just straight up generic pop. Not one interesting sound in there.

Maybe the full album will offer more unique looks, idk.

Marbles...I'm pretty sure she was gargling marbles.

Yeah, it's exactly that, or a mouthful of hot potatoes. It's a schtick, a put-on that a lot of chicks are doing now and it gets under my skin.

I don't get what you mean.

The inflection, it is a little much. user has a good ear.

Fucking agreed - I love me some good pop, including 1989 that that cheesy-ass Jack Antonoff also worked on....but holy shit is this song missing something huge!
The verses are eh, and the pre-chorus definitely gets me excited for a happy, joyous chorus...but then it hits and doesn't satisfy at *all* :(
The most annoying to me is that "I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it!" Ugh.

While it's grown on me while listening throughout the day, it still just sounds like Natasha Bedingfield trying to figure out the formula to "The Sound" by The 1975...
youtube.com/watch?v=FSnAllHtG70

The worst is when those first few lines are supposed to be 'so badass' but then they don't rhyme at all....*so* cheesy

Your last point threw me off the ride before it even started as well. What was that?
-"I know about what you did, and I want to scream the truth. She thinks you love the beach you're such a damn liar."

Seriously?

This. Ribs was the best by far

>a whole thread full of guys who listen to female pop music and discuss lorde singles

oh would you look at what time it is...

We can't all be Edgelords like you. Back to your highness. Thanks for stopping by.

Lay your manly tough guy playlist on us, faggot.

>pure heroine came out 3 years ago
Fug

>shill

You do realize you are here too, right Edgelord? Your criticism applies to you as well.

>if you are shitting on me you are still technically speaking hahah got you!

post another smug drake pic you nu-male queef

I know it's Buzzfeed but this might explain it.
>buzzfeed.com/reggieugwu/what-is-indie-pop-voice?utm_term=.fkMm2qMyp#.lkE07Xo9J
The whole thing is pretty annoying.

The fact that so many people still name Tennis Court as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" pop song ever only tells you how far Lorde's music still is from becoming serious art.

t. fat edgy fuck.

Nah, I'll just post a link to your video...While you're still here hanging with us on the popstar Lorde new song thread.

youtube.com/watch?v=fDwyMBNMG4k

Did your grandpa give you that hat? It's kind of like pic related.

So you're saying there's a chance????

>he thinks I'm a white Sup Forums guy because i am laughing at his faggoty love of female pop music

a jihad on nu-males and the nu-male nation

Good link, thanks. Which is really hard for me to say because it's Buzzfeed. Maybe they should just stick to pop culture.
Personally I think this is the song that started it.

>They're essentially making robotic Huey Lewis tunes
good one, video.

How insecure are you that it matters what the artist's sex is? I'm sure you never contribute to any discussions on this board and just shitpost like the child you are, go back to Sup Forums.

Now you're 50c? Make up your mind edgelord. Also I don't discriminate. I fully accept that edgelords can be any colour in the rainbow. Stay salty.

btw, you're still on the Lorde thread. You must like it here.

I wish 80s Boy George was my irl boyfriend.

>How insecure are you that it matters what the artist's sex is?

t. please hire me pitchfork

>btw, you're still on the Lorde thread. You must like it here.

yeah m8 easy (You)s. you "poptimist" faggots get prolapsed in a quick second because you're so used to red socking all the time.

Lol. It's almost like that Buzzfeed author doesn't know about singers needing to re-sound vowels in order to properly execute acciaccaturas - which is all that is going on here btw. Specific language pronunciations might be constantly shifting, but the actual singing technique you people are all hating on right now is about as authentic to the traditions of music as you can get:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_(music)#Acciaccatura

Thanks for proving me right that you can only shitpost "m8". "Pitchfork" isn't an argument either and I've never even visited that site. Like I said go back Sup Forums, you're a waste of space and air.

>literally say i'm (You) farming
>you are so triggered by my top shelf skillz you can't help but reply

p r o l a p s e d

Did you break up with your boyfriend or something? Is that why you're so bitter edgelord? might be best for you right now.
I hope you cheer up soon, you'll find another man.

>gets genuinely triggered when he is called a faggot for listening to female pop music like a total faggot so he is trying to spin it off him now

r a t t l e d

My two kids might disagree with your statement. Yes, I'm so rattled. Please stop rattling me, you win edgelord. Why not pick a fight with someone who wants to fight back? Seriously try you'll find a taker within seconds.
Me, I wish you nothing but the best and a happy life. Are you done?

>My two kids might disagree with your statement. Yes, I'm so rattled. Please stop rattling me

lmao did you seriously just bring your own two children into your defense when you were being called a faggot by a complete stranger on the internet in a female pop music thread?? what an absolute fuckin nu-male queef you are hahahahaha for real

holy fuck i wasn't ever expecting a reply this perfect but you never know in this game sometimes things just work out

even if the album is different and good, this fucking bleachers b-side track is gonna be there at some point... damn...

I like it desu

I'm drunk as hell. pic related is my music taste. and i still found her new song to be fucking awful. fucking hell if it can't please a drunk guy, it'll probably sound worse when i'm sober

3/10 bait

>video stops when I click into this thread
>she thinks you love the bee

you guys have shit taste, this song is infectious, it gets better with every listen.

it is so exciting, the chorus sounds like the phrase "to be continued" if you get what i'm saying.

just listen to the lyrics, it's about heartbreak.. im sure many of you can relate to it.

tay tay probably made her sign a contract that said she could do something with jack antonoff but it had to be shittier than 1989.

yawn good night edgelord. I understand if you're to scared to go to and talk shit. I don't think less of you. You've shown everyone on this thread just how big a man you are. Congratulations, keep spreading the hate.
You won't turn this one racist though, no matter what you say. Bye, have a good night.

4/10 bait

what's bait? do you want a screenshot of my itunes?

Really good song imo, pure heroine was pretty immature, but this production really carries her through the song.

>yawn

you are such a passive aggressive faggot. you literally type like a jezebel poster.

the fact that you pimped out your own children in defense of not being a faggot in a female pop music thread because a stranger kept calling you one is so fucking funny you have no idea. fuckin still laughing at that.

what is it with low test faggots and passive aggression? they love the shit.

>Congratulations, keep spreading the hate.

kiss my taint, queefmo

Yeah, thanks. Interesting article. That stupid shit mentioned in the article is exactly what I'm talking about. There was a period through the 90s when R&B chicks did this kind of thing with their I's, kind of over-enunciating them, SWV and Monica and the like. I kind of liked that. But this new whispery, mouthful of potatoes thing is fake and pretentious.

At the end though the one person says

>I think a lot of these artists might come up with different affectations to promote an individual sound for themselves

But that's not true. Lots of them are doing it.

Here's another

>Nothing's ever what we aykspayct

Pisses me off.

This is beautiful, she's such an amazing writer

2/10 bait

Why is she trying so hard to look like a soulless creature

but 100% authentic opinion

she's a 20 year old tumblr girl

It's an indie hipster affectation thing. I think it ties directly into the stupid warbly whispery fake voice thing that a lot of chicks are doing that we're also discussing itt. It's a thing, a >I'm this soft, wild, free, whispery, special snowflake thing. There's a touch of a 1920s echo in it too I think, as periods tend to repeat in the arts.

is this reviewbrah's sister?

the wayward sister that finally came home and plays the tv too loud when he is trying to conduct ham radio tests in his room at night.

>festival banger remixes

haha there u go guys!

>mentioning a one-hit wonder from 5 years ago in the same sentence as two consistent and established pop superstars

I liked green light but since I'm not a native english speaker I can't see what you are talking about. I don't pay attention to the lyrics. The melody is good.

You guys... This is as bland as it gets. Fucking Jack Anto-whateverthefuck on keys – fuck that guy tol.
