All these years and Electra Heart hasn’t aged a day... that’s power. I think Valley Of The Dolls and Lonely Hearts Club are some of my favorite songs of all time

Marina truly is one of the best artists out there. I feel like people forget it cause of L+F, but look at the material in her first 3 albums. Classic after classic after classic.

yall... at first i thought sportcruiser was the best here but i think the best one might be salamander. it’s gorgeous how she recorded the part, “I love you but you don’t understand me, i’m a real poet! my life is my poetry... my lovemaking is my legacy!”

It's prime crackhead hours Also it's not even hot, it's literally 24 degrees (c)

maybe huck was angry that she didnt release taxi on grammy night, i think he is one of us

i liked it, doesn't compare to her first 3 albums tho

This. I've seen people saying that they cringe at it, for me is the climax of the audiobook. I absolutely adore how dramatic she sounds, how commited she is to the narrative. A highlight on a brilliant project!

Bless her heart for giving back to the community and doing it in 100+ degree heat too!

golden globes 2016 is the night she wore this: so honestly i'm choosing to believe it and i think it's top 5 most iconic things she has ever done. literally herstory

there was a rumour about a British female pop star at the Grammys letting guys fuck her for a bit of coke

shes literally spewing her heart at him, or herself even, almost trying to convince herself that she truly is this poet and shes valid to feel this way! it’s so interesting to hear something so, so different from her. god i love her

my god, all those ugly ass clothes... they really are from the mid 00's.

I saw Lana's tweet about how hot it has been. The heat in LA has been really bad. My sister lives in Woodland Hills and it was 111 degrees where she is. She tells me that going outside was next to impossible it was so bad. I saw on IG that Lana was doing some volunteer work yesterday in LA in the heat. Bless her for her generosity and giving back to the community.

tf am i gonna do with a picture

what even is this post about? dua lipa actually charts and her music is more commercial and has more potential to smash, unlike lana’s, who doesn’t care about sales and charts. also the comparison is pretty nonsense since they do different music and have different sounds, they’re not comparable. also ever thought about the fact that maybe lana is the one refusing to promote her music? lmao

Her lighter hair has grown on me so much. She’s so cute and her legs are uhhhhhhhhmazingggggg

We have established that folklore is the best album released this year so far, right?

i think it might be her cowriting with jack which made the songs feel less lana as lana writing with rick probably comes very natural to her, and with others like emile they didn't really change a lot about the lyrics of the songs they worked on with her.

Taste. I don’t know why but MAC seems a little bit underrated to me, maybe because it was overshadowed by Venice Bitch grandeur, being released just a week before it! Both are great songs, tho!

i have a theory that part of the themes and lyricism in NFR was kind of an experiment to test critics/the general public. I don’t think that it felt totally authentic to her (obviously there is a grain of truth in everything she says/does, but in this case it kind of felt forced, like the smile on the LFL cover), and to me her insta debacle confirmed this. not saying she doesn’t fully stand behind everything she wrote, I just don’t think it’s her natural way of thinking about things so it didn’t feel very passionate to me, which is something I always look forward to in her music. i think that’s why she didn’t sing too many of the new songs on tour either, although not to drag her it didn’t seem like she enjoyed singing many of her songs at all lmfao

Bruce Springsteen played Lana again on his SiriusXM channel the other day. Bruce had more praise for Lana. The other day he said the following; “That is ‘American,’ by the lovely Lana Del Rey. She’s, uh, name checking some guy from New Jersey in there. I’m not sure who, but … uh, she is from New York, and was raised in Lake Placid. Lake Placid, a fabulous little American town where I have spent many a lovely summer evening with my children and my family over the years. And Lana is simply one of the best songwriters in the country, as we speak. She just creates a world of her own and invites you in. So a big favorite of mine, the lovely Lana Del Rey.“ To have this kind of praise from a legend such as Springsteen is a huge honor as I have said before. Woody Guthrie inspired the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Dylan and Springsteen inspired Lana. Lana's folks roots can be experienced in all of her songs whether they feel folky or not. Regardless of what the critics say, Lana having the support of legends in this business such as Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Stevie Nicks etc matters a lot. Lets remember that much like Lana, when Bruce came on the scene he wasn't taken seriously at first. The critics didn't understand him and they wrote him off. Well, we all saw how that worked out. Lana has every reason to believe in herself and to always be reaching for the stars. She is this generation's greatest musical storyteller.

It will be interesting to watch the documentary for HIFN... It seems like there would be some insight into that very point.

Agree. It’s for charli and huck to know only, plus that just makes charlis music extra personal for the two of them. Almost like a testament of their relationship progress!

I've seen on Twitter that Lana has 29% of the votes while 21 Pilots have 32%. For the next hour you get 20 votes instead of 10 votes, so I thought it'd be nice to remind you all in case anyone wants to help Lana win

Really looking forward to her 5th album. She's writing it alone and using only 1 (female) producer this time The last snippet she shared sounds amazing, hopefully we'll get new music by the end of next year lol

Okay but we want songs not pictures

A lot of rare/unseen pictures from Marina's Myspace and The Family Jewels eras (2006-2010): https://mega.nz/file/sIFAEKKa#VYiN3R_T1LBrA5-8rcHe-_O2WjY1fgK9cmLMEBpldHM

So its become hard for me to listen to Sportcruiser. The entire first part in the studio apartment with yellow petals as their view. Terrible you, which was unfortunately me in my situation. Its alot to take in in a moment of introspection, one I don't want to make cus i know I sucked, and I honestly thank God it becomes a more specific tale to who she is and what her fears are. I adore Violet and its such a great listen and I usually refuse to skip tracks, yet Sportcruiser drains the happiness from me, even though i can never help but smile when she's so taken that no one on the dock cares who she is. Its the albums masterpiece, but if im just trying to vibe it seems it may have to become a skip. The most affecting piece she has ever written and it turns out I literally wasn't prepared for it.

It’s so weird bc the demo was so good and she changed it... and honestly Stevie Nicks was hot as FUCK in the 70s but her voice has just gotten so... rusty and not... hmm not like she used to be.

OMG looks like all the old likes are back! Great work @Elle!

Well, good news about the old likes, guys! As the site has continued to reindex, the prior likes have started to come back. We still have a long way to go with reindexing everything, but if you poke into a few of the older threads, the previous likes are now viewable for the posts that have finished indexing reputation points. & @evilentity it looks like all your old formatting has begun to fix itself as well, just had to give the site a little time to reindex and rebuild I suppose! x

Still in awe of how good Venice Bitch is. I got new headphones and that song is slapping so hard, jesus. I hope she keeps this particular sound on COCC.

Pink Convertible I need you so bad

Updated the OP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANCING QUEEN ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ It came out as a single 44 years ago

I don't know if this is the right spot but here goes.

Uhm, look at it?

I want the music too but I think this zip file is going to be the most new Marina content we get in a while This .zip file is great I've never seen most of these pictures She looks so young in them she has grown so much

It's because she's not mumbling or heavily autotuned like on Madame X

-

white mustang sounds like “why... am i staying?” think of that when she sings that part especially the second time in the chorus. so like “your white mustang, why am i staying?” apparently someone said it on genius and i can’t unhear it now lol

I've been humming this song the whole day and now this thread is active omg

wait what “why am i staying” thing?

She has Dan Auerbach producing her music and Neil Krug photographing her and the project is fucking amazing. I guess those two are the formula.

listened to the whole thing on the beach during the sunset, what a beautiful feeling

Back in 2012, she performed four pieces on NPR, and they were all beautiful and quite subdued with stripped back instrumentation and no drums. Vocals are top notch! It's live the MTV Unplugged album we'll never get lol.

Mariners Apartment Complex is her magnum opus. It is the epitome of what her music represents.

The greatest is the best song on NFR & one of the best songs in her discography

The way this is a direct reference to PIN UP GALORE of all songs Dance at night back in Alabama, Christmas lights on my teal green trailer I go back to Alabama, take a look at my life Where are the trailer parks ​and where are all the Christmas lights?
