It's a day of extremes: Lorde offers an emotionally raw archive of her creative process, while Katy Perry's comeback single gets panned. Meanwhile, country music's UK takeover and a pioneering Indian disco reissue round out the landscape.
Two artists mark milestones with very different approaches: Lorde opens the vault, while Metallica's Reload gets a second look.
Lorde released 49 demos from her album *Virgin* to mark its first anniversary, along with personal notes and photos. It's an unusually generous look at her creative process during a difficult period.
