\\ GA review \\ by Pedro A small one this time! Shouldn't take much time.

Prose

Lead

• "talking about Lorde celebrating an infatuation" → "in which Lorde discusses an infatuation" (the verb celebrate is copied from a source used in Composition)
• "lyrical theme" (the composition section doesn't state this... it just says that the musical
• "and picked it as one of the standouts from the extended version of the album." → break the sentence. "Most journalists picked it as a standout from the album's repackaging/reissue"

• Done

Background

• Can you cite the liner notes to the expanded edition rather than a database? Sometimes they're incorrect. If the reissue wasn't in physical form, cite the digital download notes (the Composer iTunes parameter)

• The extended version don't have the notes

• My download of NB has the writers, but that's it. Adabow (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• The database is OK, then. — prism △ 17:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• If it was given for free, isn't it a promotional single?

• After being freely downloaded within 12 X'mas days, it was made available for sales

Composition and critical reception

• "an synthpop" (typo)
• "The song has similar musical style to other songs from Pure Heroine: it features Lorde's "feathery" vocal delivery and minimal production." → The song has a similar sonority to that of other songs from Pure Heroine, featuring Lorde's "feathery" vocals and minimal production.
• "pulsing synthesizer" → "a pulsing synthesizer"

• Change "synthesizer" to plural form

• "making the song's melody "dreamy"" (according to whom?)
• celebrates → celebrating
• "Go all the way/" (add a space between 'y' and the bar)

• There you go

References

• Slant shouldn't be italicized; it isn't published media.

• Nah, it's Slate, not Slant, and it is published. Simon (talk) 01:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• Still... Slate, just like Slant, is an online magazine. Not printed. — prism △ 17:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC) (I did it already)
