Sitting legs crossed on the train, suggesting that you revisit Lorde's third studio album. I do not find myself in total stan alignment with a particular pop diva, but i have always felt drawn to Lorde. Her first two albums were devastating and functioned as backdrops to late highschool / early college coming of age but, like many, I felt her third album flopped- too many ballads, not enough percussion, fatigue around Jack Antonoff. So imagine last week when my hometown bestie / prom date Amber told me that shes been painting again and her creative sauce is weed and Lorde's discography. Three revisits later and Amber is so correct, the Solar Power album played in full will deliver you to artistic flow state. It is slower, lower key, and there is much less blowing shit up with homemade dynamite but miss girl did not miss, she is simply growing up.

Catalyzed by the release of “what was that,” I delved back into every song she’s ever released on repeat for an entire 8 hour work day. her music had me reminiscing abt when me and my best friend from high school were teenage girls <3 I miss her but I don’t miss that

Can you imagine being 16 years old and having
a. this voice
b. the taste level and guts to cover one of the Mats' best songs and
c. the understanding and empathy to read this as it should be ("swingin' party" is people dangling from nooses not swingers; Mats singer Paul Westerberg once said in an interview that the reason the band drank so much is that it's "scary going up on stage" so clearly the boys were battling their inner selves and Lorde does this self-doubt an incredible service here).
Epic. One of my favorite covers.

listen- i'll admit it. i was a hater when it came out
but jennie and jmillez2 have been raving about it so i went back to see for myself
and it's great!
i didn't see the vision back then. i was too blinded by melodrama to see the solar power. i'm sorry!
