Ronk 14,760 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Since I've never heard it until now, I say yes it was paid dust. Thanks for posting this. I need to listen to a lot more Lorde now. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even the biggest Lorde stan and from the get go it seemed satirical. I think people wanted her to be meaner tbh which is fair but at the same time...it wasn’t supposed to be mean lol it was supposed to be kind of sad and the satire was poking fun at how sad their lives must be. Idk I can see critiques for the song as valid, but idk I think it just wasn’t some people’s satire and I also think Lorde’s approach isn’t typically how satire is used (usually these days it’s more in your face and with more bite). Tbh!! I agree with everything you said here also even if it wasn’t satirical… I don’t see what’s so bad about it I’d still like it haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'd kinda overlooked Lorde and only heard songs that were all over radio, like Royals. Do you recommend melodrama? I live outside the space time continuum.

Somehow my favorite songs are all in the middle of the album. My favorite song is Liability . Next favorites are Hard Feelings and Sober II (Melodrama). After that, Writer In The Dark. Then The Louvre. Thanks for recommending the album. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetasspussy 609 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 deserved to be lorde's lead single. i don't know what she was thinking by adding solar power as the lead.

So people misunderstand Gaga all the time, too. There are always going to be people that just consume music like fast food on one side and people who truly want to listen to the story of the artist on the other side.

MelbHawker 6,583 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It’s a flawless bop. Should’ve been the lead single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno 2,880 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Definitely. I think the entire era was brought down by how corny/wack the lead single is. Solar Power is not fire from start to finish imo, but half of it is. Just not the half that sounds like Lorde meets Jack Johnson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
