Oh to be in New York City, walking the streets as a young adult. Mid 20s, entering the workforce, new friends, missing home, falling in love, dealing with the heartache of falling out of love, but some how still making do. Wandering through life with many questions about what's next, about if this is all there is to life? Just straight up confused, but trying to figure it all out. That's what Lorde has managed to capture in this album if you were to ask me. The sound of being lost and confused as you come into adulthood, learning who you are, what you want, who you love. A relatable multi-year experience packaged within these 35 minutes, of heartfelt lyrics and upbeat, yet melancholic beats.
