Melodrama - Lorde


Lorde sets the mood of her relationship-themed opus with tinges of anger and joy on pop ditty "Green Light." Her vocals are both raw and precious, crooning over delicious melodies (much is co-written by Jack Antonoff). There's nothing filler here and the production and transitions are incredibly sharp (those strings of "Writer in the Dark"--a personal fave on the album--with its towering, vintage-Tori Amos chorus moving straight into banger "Supercut"). Melodrama is a lovely, intimate set of heartbreak and determination.

"It’s really a collection of moments, thoughts, and vignettes when I said to myself, “Don’t forget this.” And it wasn’t until I went through heartbreak, and moved out of [my parents’] home into my own house and spent a lot of time totally alone, that I realized I do have very serious, vivid feelings I needed to get out." -Lorde

tu(n)esday by olivia bonom (dj liv n learn)!

Katy Perry's new album definitely has a new sound. Juicy J guest stars on this track with a heavy trap feel.





Kaskade has returned and my favorite track so far is LAX to JFK.





The Weeknd is back with a much anticipated studio album, "Kiss Land"





Another great track from the album, Kiss Land... "Wanderlust"





Make sure you get your Twerk, Plur, Plurnt, Earthquake, Cake booty and other Urban Dictionary words moving to this one... "Revolution"





I guess that's just The Motion... #NWTS





I wasn't sure how to pronounce the title of the track... "Work Bitch" or "Work, Bitch" Either way makes me want to work... harder!





"Royals" by Lorde reminds me of Paper Planes but I love the remix by Lazerdisk... With a free download!!!
