Lana's music is a world of hidden gems, and I'm fine with UV being one of them. In a hundred years time when Lana's official discography surpasses her unreleased discography, we'll be able to look back at Ultraviolence, and be like: "God, that was a fucking solid album". It'll be that single masterpiece in all our record collections.

That's so gay but I agree

Stop relying on stuff that isn't music to enjoy music

She is so natural and easy to talk to and honest and I just have so much respect for her. I still can't believe this was real. I totally fangirled. At the end, she was like "It was so nice to talk to a fan" hahaha
 
Let me know what you think!

So for the sake of those tweens this thread should be deleted

OUTTAKE
The first ever picture @@GangstaBoy sent me to edit, but, the edit went wrong and we later forgot about it.
 

 
Praise him closeted gays

Soon? Just like Cola as a single?

The fact that he mentioned the strongest names on this forum to get attention.
 
Jk bby I really enjoyed to read and watch this u artbitch! ♡

Just in time (?!) for Halloween, LanaBoards has spoken and your spooky fave is...GangstaBoy! He's, well, some kinda South American, right? Attractive? I didn't even have to prompt him for an editorial photo shoot to pepper throughout, a trait I admire in any winner. Well I'm looking forward to getting to know the boy behind the yasssss, so let's get started

The only show MØ is doing even remotely near me is at a festival that my roommate is going to right now When I told her to go see her she said she was "too aggressive" for her. But flagrantly loud midday sex isn't smh

Here's a Lana Del Rey concert poster in the style of the amazing Alphonse Mucha (and some psychedelic/Woodstock/Victor Moscoso posters). Who doesn't love a little bit of art nouveau? A little quick piece I worked on tonight, couldn't sleep/didn't want to so I ended up working on this, half for fun and half for class (graphic design art history course means lots of studying art nouveau & art deco pieces) and thought I'd share it. View the glorious full size image

What are your thoughts on this? I wonder what he is up to. 

Her voice puzzles me ... Firstly it has so many colors and texture, she can sound girlish, then deep and sulky, sometimes drunk  ... The BTD vocals sometimes sound "chipmunked" but it could be just one of her voice texture ...
There's been some kind of change, definitely. There might have been some vocal training, why not, every singer should welcome those type of training, I think even Whitney Houston did it and we all know what she could do (I would feel awkward in the place of the vocal coach haha). Anyway, she could have had some vocal coaching but also maybe some training on how to feel better on stage. Because stress, stage fright etc... Deeply affect your voice. I like to sing but in my basement, where nobody hears me, as soon as I'm supposed to sing in front of even one friend, my voice becomes thin and shy. So imagine being in front of a live audience and being broadcasted on TV for one of your "first" live shows as LDR, having to defend your brand. The pressure must have been immense.
 
Now that I think of it, I seem to remember that she once talked about the performance in an interview and that she said someone coached her afterwards ... Couldn't remember the paper it was in ...

I enjoyed your comments, @ and generally agree. One aspect of Lana's voice is that she does not have a great deal of power, which hurts her at larger shows. Her best vocal performances (live) that I've seen are ones at small shows or live in the studio, even going back to her short blonde hair 'Lizzy' days, because she's not required to sing loudly. I don't consider her voice 'weedy', but she's never going to be a soul singer in line with an Adele or Joss Stone. Every part of her voice (pitch, tone, vibrato, control) suffers when she has to 'project', and she can either work on that, or if she doesn't want to, she can sing quieter. (She sings fairly softly on BTD, and her voice is mixed loudly, which produces a sound that I personally love).
 
Where I agree with @@BlueJeans is in the tremendous variation in emotion she can put into her singing, which to me is her number one strength as a performer. There are versions of 'Blue Jeans' where she sings the 'bitches before' phrase with such venom, it doesn't sound like a performance at all, but like an emotionally heightened moment in a private relationship. There are so few singers who let themselves get that emotionally vulnerable in songs - I can think of Antony Hegarty and Chan/Cat Power as a couple of examples, but most singers will value the consistency of performance above the emotional variations that make her live shows so compelling.  
 
Here's a nice example of her voice where she's singing not that much louder than the volume of a normal conversation.

Barrie James makes great Music. He seems true to his artistic principles. That I admire in a musician/composer.
