I think of Lorde in such a similar way, she helps me map out what's going on in my life. She is indeed cemented as the artist of my generation (she's a year older than I am), and to be honest she has never let me down (I loved solar power). I've already written about pure heroine and melodrama, can't wait to tackle solar power and virgin.

I am on my third listen through of the album and finally starting to connect with it. Your words really sealed it for me though, this album’s going to bite. Thank you so much for sharing

ok actually finished -

1. your relationship to lorde seems like my relationship to haim. everything they release an album it’s about something im going through 2. ill admit i wasn’t wow’d by virgin like i expected to be. but after reading this im gonna give it another listen. i did buy the vinyl (it’s GORG) bc i anticipate loving it over time.

3. loved this analysis 🤍
