yeah it's real good.
this recent ish interview for lust is life is nice tho the interviewer's a tad pedestrian, but it gives insight into lana's head space this album

No posts about the man trying to kidnap her outside a concert huh?

Well, just for the record for future readers: in February 2018 someone tried and failed to kidnap her: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/feb/04/man-arrested-florida-alleged-plot-kidnap-lana-del-rey I think it was on the same day as the superbowl.

i'm not surprised she's a stalker target; glamorous, talented, mysterious; I saw her live two years ago and I don't know that I've seen that kind of fevered devotion from a fanbase since Morrissey's first US tour in the early 90's.
I feel like she's getting the credit she deserves now critically; is she? not sure. I don't know. she has a very wide fanbase; LGBT fans, young girls, regular cis men like me. Everything she does kind of surprises me even if none of it strays hugely from a prescribed template. Gaga is probably the only contemporary of hers that dabbles in the same areas; I like Lana's music more though.
Also this is good forever

I can't believe you guys don't like Tomorrow Never Came, that's one of the earwormiest things she's ever recorded.
― Naive Teen Idol, Friday, 9 February 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link
lmao I'm not really wild about that bit but I do think they sound nice together. the back stretch of the album has some of her best songs

I get it -- it's breaking down the fourth wall in a big way. But it works for a few reasons. First, hanging with famous cats is so (old) Hollywood -- it feels very appropriate to LDR's ethos. It's also perfectly in keeping with her approach to lyrics, which remain this unique combination of woozy pathos, classic romantic imagery ("Roses out in your treehouse") and quirky hipster lingo (faces making her want to party and whatnot). I would also add: this kind of thing is something John and Yoko did a lot in their own work, which squares the circle a bit.
Generally, tho: it's exactly the kind of courageous-to-the-point-of-being-ridiculous-while-also-being-unexpected-ness I look for from her.

im not that familiar with her work but that john/yoko/sean verse absolutely rules imo, for all the reasons stated above
― flappy bird, Friday, 9 February 2018 19:54 (six years ago) link
In the interview I posted Lana talks about stalkers as well
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 9 February 2018 20:48 (six years ago) link
newest record is probably my favourite over-all now. "God Bless America", "White Mustang", "Cherry" and "In my Feelings" are some of his strongest work to date

overall like it but i'm still boggling at the decision "you know, one song with A$AP Rocky just isn't enough, we need two to take this album to the next level"

the thing about being stalked is that by its very nature it is risky to talk about it in public, lest that prompt further contact
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
ultraviolence still her best record imo

But could a person as good intentioned as I not perhaps with my presence bring attention to the fact that something should change and that a singer with a loving energy can help shift the energetic vibration of a location for the higher good even if it’s just for a minute?— Lana Del Rey (@LanaDelRey) August 19, 2018
probably not her finest hour tbh.

this is really wonderful, a real extension of the kinds of songs I liked most on the last two albums. I love that she just releases shit whenever she feels like it on youtube.
― akm, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 23:57 (five years ago) link
Yeah, it's awesome how prolific she is. This is another brilliant single. New album coming in January apparently.

― flappy bird, Thursday, 13 September 2018 18:47 (five years ago) link
i have to assume she must be really easy to work with, with the amount of backlogged and released material she always has ready. people don't clamor to work with someone who is a pain in the ass.

that recent interview for lust for life made it seem like she was super chill

Gorgeous song
Kinda feel like Lana is one of those artists who writes the same song in a beautiful new way

Lana Del Rey Announces New Album Norman Fucking Rockwell
The 9-minute single “Venice Bitch” precedes the 2019 record

Elsewhere in the interview, Lana said that she she hopes to release a book of poems and short stories, under the working title Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
― piscesx, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 17:09 (five years ago) link
haha. she really likes the word 'bitch'
― akm, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 17:10 (five years ago) link
uh wow i was totally not expecting this to be a 10 minute epic based on the teaser but this fucking rules
mariners apartment complex is also great, these are probably my favourite tracks of hers since ultraviolence so i am extremely hyped for norman fucking roswell and apparently the next single is out next month
really would not have expected her + antonoff to work so well, these tracks don't really have any of his trademarks and for the better

DAMN that song is great! Venice Bitch I mean. I love the other one too. Like I said great fucking album title. Listened to some stuff from Ultraviolence after these two tracks and it clicked for me in a way that it never had before.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link
Oh wow, Venice Bitch so great. I know I shouldn't be ungrateful as she's one of the most prolific artists around, but I really wish we didn't have to wait until the new year for the album.
