Pure Heroine is the debut studio album by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde. It was first released on 27 September 2013. Recording for the album began in 2012 with producer Joel Little after being signed to Universal Music at the age of twelve by A&R scout Scott Maclachlan, with several songs being originally released on the The Love Club EP, which was released in early 2013. After the critical acclaim of her EP and its lead single "Royals", the two eventually re-entered the studio and began co-writing and producing more material.

"Pure Heroine" consists of ten tracks. Musically, "Pure Heroine" is an art pop and electronica album, combining ambient, dark wave, indietronica, synthpop genres with minimalist production, lyrically thought-provoking song structure and striking vocals. Lorde revisits her common theme of "youth", with the album primarily being inspired by her youth and critiques of mainstream culture.[3] Lyrically the album explores previous themes of social anxiety, romantic yearning, debilitating ennui and booze-soaked ragers.[4]

Pure Heroine received critical acclaim upon its release, with many commending Lorde's vocals and songwriting, as well as Little's production. Lorde also received comparison to notable singer-songwriters such as Adele and Lana Del Rey. The album achieved excellent sales in several countries, reaching number one in her home country and Australia, as well as debuting at number two in Canada and number three in the United States. Within a month of release, it achieved gold and platinum statuses with the ARIA and Recorded Music NZ, respectively.

The lead single, "Royals", was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States, where Lorde became the first solo New Zealand act to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the youngest act to do so since Tiffany's 1987 single "I Think We're Alone Now". "Tennis Court" and "Team" were subsequently released as the second and third singles from the album and have enjoyed moderate commercial success as well, charting in multiple countries. The album is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.[5]

Background

The goal for me is to make a body of work that is cohesive, that feels like an album and is something that I'm going to be proud of. I'm working on an album at the moment and it seems a lot of albums lately don’t feel like a cohesive set of songs that complement each other and mean something as a group. If I can make something which does feel like that, and feels right and true and good, then I will have succeeded.

 — Yelich-O'Connor, on her objectives for Pure Heroine.[6]

From the age of 14, Ella Yelich-O'Connor worked with Universal to develop her sound and artistic vision. Previously, in August 2009 when Ella was 12, her musician friend Louis McDonald's dad, Ian, sent Universal A&R scout Scott Maclachlan two home recordings - an audio of Louis and Ella covering Duffy's hit song "Warwick Avenue," and a video of her singing Pixie Lott's "Mama Do." Maclachlan later signed her to Universal at the age of 13 and began working with songwriters at 14. Yelich-O'Connor began writing songs at the age of "13 or 14" using her guitar.[7][8]

Having completed recording in November 2012,[9] The Love Club EP was released digitally in March 2013, and on CD in May 2013, with five songs including the number one hit "Royals". On 27 May 2013, "Royals" was covered by girl group Gap 5, on New Zealand television's The X Factor and mentored by Melanie Blatt. Immediately prior to beginning work on Pure Heroine, Yelich-O'Connor stated her intentions for the debut album to be a "cohesive" work.[6] As with The Love Club EP, Pure Heroine was recorded with producer Joel Little at Golden Age Studios in Auckland.[10][11]

Music and lyrics

"Tennis Court"
The song is synth- and percussion-based with Lorde's vocal ranges one octave in the key of G, from a third to a fourth octave.[12]

During the recording of the album Lorde stated that she "didn’t really have a specific sound in mind when I started recording", continuing to say she listened to large amount of "hip-hop and electronic music, and also full-on top 40 pop".[13] For influence she cited James Blake and minimalist music.[14] The album's lyrics have been said to "explore classic teen-pop themes – social anxiety, romantic yearning, debilitating ennui, booze-soaked ragers – with an eerie, zoomed-out detachment;"[4] and be "certainly underpin[ed by]" "an adolescent aggrievance and angst."[15] Rolling Stone wrote "Lorde's languidly aphoristic lyrics balance rock-star swagger and torqued-up teenage angst" and that her lyrics "have a rattle-nerve pathos and power like nothing else going in 2013."[16]

The album's opening track, "Tennis Court", has been described as "older, slightly crazier cousin" of debut single "Royals". Billboard characterised "Tennis Court" as having "detached attitude, woozy production and [being] chopped-n-screwed", and second-song "400 Lux" (named after a clear day's sunrise/sunset illuminance), as "femme fatale pop at its finest", including "over canyon-sized bass and popping percussion".[17] "Royals" is a minimal track that infuses elements of art pop, pop, grime and blues. Lorde wrote the lyrics to "Royals" in only half an hour.[18] She was influenced by hip-hop and singer Lana Del Rey. "I was listening to a lot of rap, but also a lot of Lana Del Rey, because she’s obviously really hip-hop influenced, but all those references to expensive alcohol, beautiful clothes and beautiful cars – I was thinking, 'This is so opulent, but it’s also bullshit.'"[19]

"Team"
"Team" is a mid-tempo song, and draws from the genres of pop, rock, electronic dance and electrohop.[20][21][22]

"Ribs" starts with an "ambient opening" and an "exhausted-sounding Lorde growing more frantic with each passing second", with the lyrics that include the singer discovering her maturity and "grown-up problems".[17] "Buzzcut Season" has a "tropical paradise" style production with lyrics describing Lorde trying to remain "in blissful ignorance to the crumbling world trying to permeate through news broadcasts."[17] The album's sixth song, "Team", contains a "crashing, synth-heavy beat" and was described by Billboard as being "darkly melodic."[23] Lyrically, the song touches up on her "disconnect with modern pop music" and the difference between onscreen portrayals and reality.[23] Next, "Glory and Gore" is a song with lyrics that talk about "society's obsession with violence."

"Still Sane" was praised for Lorde's voice being described as "smoky and restrained", with lyrics touching upon the "all work and no play" craziness of her rise to fame and the duality of fame and legacy".[17] "White Teeth Teens" is a doo-wop style song that speaks on the imperfections of teenagers and the way they present themselves.[17] "A World Alone", the album's closing track, includes a "roaring dance beat". Its lyrics speak of a world "which is composed of haters, existential musings, endless Internet chatter and the one person with whom [one] can escape all the judgments."[17] About the song, Jonah Weiner of Rolling Stone wrote "describing a passionate romance, her mind can't help but jump-cut not only to the relationship's inevitable failure, but past that, to death."[4]

Singles

"Royals"
Royals is Art pop and minimal styled song. The song has a similar rhythm to a snap song, with its instrumentation of "fingersnaps and toe-tapping bass."[24]

Released for sale digitally in March 2013, and on CD on May 2013, The Love Club EP featured five songs including "Royals". "Royals" debuted at number 1 on the New Zealand Top 40 on 15 March 2013 and remained in the top position for three weeks.[25] On the same day, The Love Club EP debuted in the number 2 position on the album chart, behind David Bowie's The Next Day, which also debuted that week. In August 2013, Lorde became the first woman to top the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in the United States since Tracy Bonham in 1996.[26] On the chart issue dated 2 October 2013, the song rose to become Lorde's first number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. At sixteen, she is the youngest artist to reach number one in the country since Tiffany did with "I Think We're Alone Now" on November 14, 1987.[27] With "Royals", Lorde is the first New Zealand act to have achieved a Billboard Hot 100 number one as lead artist.[28]

The "Tennis Court" single was released in New Zealand on 8 June 2013.[29] The Tennis Court EP was released digitally in the UK on 7 June (due to the timezone difference) and physically on 22 June.[30][31] It was played during the BBC coverage of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships Ladies Final. On 14 June 2013, Lorde's single debuted at number 1 on the New Zealand Top 40 singles chart. In the same week, she also became the first New Zealand artist to simultaneously have four songs in the top 20 tracks of the New Zealand Top 40. Previously, Titanium held this record with three songs.[32]

"Team" is the third single from the album.[33] It was leaked by Australian radio station Triple J on 12 September and as a result, the single was released digitally in Australia and New Zealand on 13 September.[23][34][35] The single became available in the United States on 13 September as part of the pre-order for Pure Heroine.[36]

"No Better" is the fourth single from the album but will be only available in the extended version of the album and by itself. It was released on the 13th of December 2013.

Upon release, Pure Heroine received positive reviews from music critics. At review aggregate site Metacritic, it has an average score of 78 out of 100, based on 27 reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[51] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave the album a score of 94, describing the album as "immaculate" and stating that Lorde was "the most vocally striking and lyrically thought-provoking" artist to breakthrough in recent times. He also compared Joel Little's bass, loops and rhythms, on the album, to the dark electronica of English bands Massive Attack and The xx. Furthermore, Lipshutz called the album "honest and addictive"; stating that "the age of Lorde" had begun.[17] Tom Cardy of The Dominion Post gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, stating that although the album was not "ground-breaking" and didn't offer any "surprises", it was a "pure gold" follow-up to her her extended play and was a "strong" debut album.[61] David Farrier of 3 News gave a very favourable review of the album, stating that it lives "up to the hype" that its lead single "Royals" created and exceeded expectations. Farrier called Lorde's writing "so good" and praised her maturity; describing the album as "sonically delightful", "utterly unique", and timeless.[62]

Joe Cristo of Move gave the album 5 out of 5 stars; calling it "breathtaking" and "flawless". Cristo said the album completely lacked filler tracks and rivaled "every other record that has come out within the last year, and possibly in the last ten [years]."[63] Lydia Jenkin of The New Zealand Herald stated the album contained "lyrical genius" and "endlessly appealing melodies". Jenkin stated that the album did not offer any surprises, although praised Lorde's vocals; calling her the "new pop heroine".[64] Spin's Maura Johnston offered a somewhat contrasting review of Lorde and her album, suggesting "her age as some sort of clumsy ploy", that "the music is aggressively okay" and "is wash in (possibly fake) teen-pop-star ennui".[65] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, stated that Lorde's personality on the album "may be an act" and said that Lorde was dishonest on the album. Erlewine also said Lorde's music was unoriginal, comparing her to Lana Del Rey on several occasions, although praised Lorde's style and "potential".[66]

Adam Offitzer of Pretty Much Amazing gave the album a B, stating that the album was "no masterpiece" and said that the tracks during the middle of the album did not have a purpose, but that Pure Heroine was engaging enough to keep Lorde relevant.[67] Giving the album a 7.3/10 Pitchfork's Lindsay Zoladz wrote that Lorde "achieves a tricky balancing act of exposing irony and even hypocrisy without coming off as preachy or moralistic," whilst implying that the music deftly depicts pompous characters.[68] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters said "Pure Heroine remains a lush, engaging experience. Lorde’s sudden international success is most welcome in such an overcrowded, singles-oriented marketplace as we have today."[69]

"Pure Heroine" appeared on several critics' year-end top albums lists. The Faster Louder online publication, part of the Australian Sound Alliance media company, identified Pure Heroine as the top album of 2013 in its 'FL's Top 50 Albums of 2013' list.

In contrast to the high praise the album received, "Pure Heroine" was named the worst album of 2013 by Vice who compared it to "spraying wee-wee all over the wallpaper in your girlfriend’s mom’s bathroom" and concluded by stating "Fuck you for making this weird little shrew the must-hear breakout dark horse hit of the year."[81]
