I hope so bc I love both of them so much

Safe back with another great thread

Pics for scientific purposes

Great post

and then came Blank Space and showed how a mainstream version of Pure Heroine could sound like, meshed with Max Martin's genius

Perfect pop song

This thread made me a Lorde fan. Great job bro. I attempted to listen to melodrama for the first time last year and honestly, it just didn’t resonate with me. I’ve never sat down and listened to pure heroin but listening to some of the tracks here within the context of what’s written has given me a new appreciation for her as an artist. So I commend you for that.

glad to hear it

Nice read but James blake, the xx and jai paul arent electronic and they definitely aren’t all the same genre

U could label flume that but he makes different music than those 3

S*** the xx too

Only james and jai id classify as the same genre and it’s definitely not electronic. Alternative RnB or indie if u had to

Free chloe

Also a melodrama piece and how it’s basically blonde 2.0 would be GOAT

Lorde is talented but she really loves biting from other acts 😅

Anyway she’s young af and honestly if i was 19 and a popstar Id be influenced heavy af by all these great acts i listen to

No idea why i posted that tbh

haven’t read yet but this is a great thread good s*** op

Bump

Oops I didn’t even see this

I think it’s hard to label as a single genre for any of those artists

Flume obviously is mainly electronic but he wasn’t an influence

All those guys - Burial, James Blake, the xx and Jai Paul all come out of the same scene - that UK electronic/dubstep/garage merged with R&B and Pop. I’m just choosing to put them under the label of electronic but I’m talking about the elements that all of them share

Another Safe classic

That’d be tight

I do think that both of her albums are pretty original - your average person probably wouldn’t pick up on how Melodrama shares a lot of stuff w blonde and it’s also worth saying that a lot of melodrama was recorded years before blonde

Need one on Billie Eilish and Kanye too, i feel like it’s even more clear how hip hop created her

100% agree. Been saying Pure Heroine is a successor of sorts to 808s and Heartbreak

The holy trinity fr Great read, thank you safe.
