About this album

Pure Heroine is a striking debut that made Lorde a defining pop voice of the 2010s. Released in 2013, the album pairs minimalist beats, shadowy synth-pop and sharp, observational writing with a perspective that felt unusually detached and assured for an artist still in her teens. Written largely with Joel Little, it turned songs such as Royals, Team and Ribs into international calling cards while helping shift mainstream pop towards cooler, more stripped-back production. Its critical acclaim and commercial breakthrough established Lorde as a major new artist and made Pure Heroine one of the era’s most influential debut albums.
