Melodrama

I listen to a lot of music, from different genres from different countries, it's very difficult for me to choose just one album, but I think I'm not wrong to say that "Melodrama" by Lorde is one of my favorite albums in the world. Lorde is a singer, producer and composer who was born in 1996 in New Zealand. It has songs belonging to the genre indie pop and alternative rock. At the age of seventeen he consolidated his career with his first album, winning Grammy awards in the categories "song of the year"; and "best solo pop vocal performance". Lorde was not a singer that attracted my attention in the time she became recognized in the world of music (more or less in 2012), I did not understand her speech, what I criticized, I ended up ignoring and hating a little. But as I grew older, I realized her feminist discourse, I paid more attention to her and I realized that I loved everything she said in her interviews as well as in her songs. Personally I like pop and I was embarrassed to say it, but once she said this: "For a long time, pop music has been this super embarrassing thing, with which people don't want to be associated [. . . ] But the way I see it, pop doesn't have to be stupid, and alternative music doesn't have to be boring: you can mix the two together and do something great";. Her words made sense to me and I loved her. Then he released his second album: Melodrama (2017) an album that sincerely made my mind fly. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but the album talks about the end of a relationship and the feeling of loneliness, comparing it to a party, that's what most songs are about, talking about the different moods that this entails. Love this album with my life. I think that very few times in my life I have been able to listen to an album where I find every wonderful song, this is the case and I love it. I'm not a Grammy fan, but I remember that Melodrama was nominated for best album of the year and Lorde refused to sing at the awards because the organizers wanted her to sing with other people and sing a song that wasn't hers, while the men who were nominated gave her space to sing her own songs alone. This was a very macho act, which Lorde decided not to attend the awards. In the end he won the Bruno Mars album, an album that only talks about him being a man with money and having many women around him. Lorde made me open my eyes and see a patriarchal world, but I can do something to fight that. This album really sums up my musical tastes and thoughts, I love it and I feel that if I have to look for an album that represents me is this one.
