Melodrama is the highly anticipated second studio album by Lorde
“Writing Pure Heroine was my way of enshrining our teenage glory, putting
it up in lights forever so that part of me never dies, and this record –
well, this one is about what comes next. …The party is about to start. I am
about to show you the new world.”
The album was recorded over an 18 month period with co-writer and co-producer
Jack Antonoff.
The album is about a “grapple with loneliness” in the aftermath of a break-up. In an article in the New York Times, Lorde mentions that “Melodrama wasn’t a 'breakup album” and stated that “it’s a record about being alone. The good parts and the bad parts, dealing with themes of heartbreak and solitude”
