million dollar man is one of lana's best songs

Agreed with @@leaked_version. What Lana needs now is exposure as the SS remix did, we hate it, yes but let's admit that thanks to that song, BTD got lots of new sales.
 
Although I always hoped the people would like a Lana's song no matter if it's slow. 

I think we heard her version of Without You already!! But Britney for Lolita makes me DIE ugh i want it

Of course, she just couldn't go more one song without mentioning the blues   
 

wow... just got this message from lana's manager look what the gays have done now 

That is the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen I'm...

It's fully leaked so fuck not enjoying it. you know if a nina simone song leaked lana would be all up on that stanning

hes been exposed already. He's a middle aged MAN.

Actually, at this moment I've already lost interest. But I'm sure that when the promotion starts (If there's any kind of promotion) my interest will increase to exaggerated levels and I'll be all wet. 

Angels Forever, Forever Angels

Kinda wanted to hop on the bandwagon so here's mine! (I won't include it in the comp)
 

 
All of the submissions have been amazing so far, I can't wait to see more! <3 xXx

I can imagine an album called Sweet Heart
 

 

I made a really quick album artwork for LDR5, just because I thought it'd be fun, and I really wanna be a part of this.  I present to you...
 
 
 
Hopefully you guys like it

I hope she doesn't drop YAIL on Valentines Day. It would be so cheesy and cliched     It would bring in some much needed promo with minimal effort on Lana's part but yeah I still hate the idea/theory... 

To be honest I did like the record for the most part, save for a few songs, but the era itself was not as fun and interesting as the BTD era and UV era

Why are most people against Lana covering songs? I get that yall want something completely original from her but don't you trust her to make an amazing cover? Personally, I really hope she covers a song on her next album. She sounds SO good singing Nirvana's 'Heart Shaped Box' live so it'll be nice to hear a studio version of that.

the level of hate for this era... far too much
 
when i first heard about honeymoon (my first knowledge of it was a leaked tracklist on tumblr during like june/july 2015) i was just excited lana was still making music lol. and then when the title song was released (leaked? dont remember if it was released before the album on purpose or if somebody found it) i remember thinking how painstakingly slow it was but it was really beautiful and that made up for it. i love honeymoon as a song but im sooooo thankful the whole album wasnt like that
 
i genuinely cant pick a best song from this album. definitely her best or second best album. ive listened to it in entirety several times and the only songs i didnt really care for were music to watch boys to and swan song
 
honeymoon, terrence loves you, god knows i tried, high by the beach, freak, art deco, religion, salvatore and the blackest day ALL took turns scalping me like every week or so. once i got tired of one track i fell in love with the next, then another one, then another one 

and honestly? id love an album with songs similar to religion. religion was kind of an oddball track on honeymoon like it didnt really fit in much, but i liked it alone

That's actually why I don't like BTD as much nowadays as I loved it 2012 (I still love it but it's not my favorite Lana record) – the production now sounds a bit boring (to me) compared to the stuff Lana released later on.

^ This, basically.
 
If an artist is signed to a (major) label, of course the label gets to have a say on what's happening. But considering they let Lana release Ultraviolence and Honeymoon even though they probably would have preferred some kind of BTD 2.0 and, maybe even more importantly, the fact that they let her not do any promo makes me think that she has relatively much freedom and independence.

Hello everybody, my name is Gonzalo, i'm @lanastarboy on instagram, i decided to start this topic because of the weird story of Lana's second LP "ULTRAVIOLENCE" 
Here is what i have for discussion !:
 
1) Rolling Stones Interview with Dan Auerbach ( http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/how-lana-del-rey-fought-to-get-her-radical-ultraviolence-lp-released-20140718 )
 
1.1) 
"There was a lot of bull:) I'm not used to," Dan Auerbach tells Rolling Stone
 
 "The label says, 'We're not going to give you the budget to extend this session unless we hear something.' And we send them the rough mix and they hate it and they hate the way it's mixed. And it's like, 'Thanks, asshole.'… I think Lana put her foot down. Maybe it's normal for her, but it's not normal for me.  Really rubbed me the wrong way.  I got really defensive because I thought it was bull:).
 
"The story I got told," he continues, "is that they played it for her label person and they said, "We're not putting out this record that you and Dan made unless you meet with the Adele producer. And she said, 'Fine, whatever.' And she was late to the meeting, so while they were waiting, the label guy played what we recorded for the Adele producer and he said, 'This is amazing, I wouldn't do anything to change this.' And here's the kicker: Then all of a sudden, the label guy said, 'Well, yeah, I think it's great, too.'"
 
 
Del Rey acknowledges a six-week period this past spring when Ultraviolence was in limbo. "I mean, I think there were people they wanted me to work with," she says. "I don't know who they were. When I said I was ready, they were like, 'Are you sure?'" She laughs. "'Because I feel like you could go further.'"
 
 
"On this album, in my opinion, you didn't want her to try to do something," adds Janick's predecessor, Jimmy Iovine. "I felt she hit a bull's-eye. Everybody's saying to me, 'We need a single,' calling me from Europe. I said, 'You don't need anything.' It's a very coherent body of work, and thought any other conversation was a distraction."
 
 
Janick and Jimmy Iovine are both Interscope Chiefs and they were the ones who defended Lana against the main label in Europe, also when they said 'We need a single,' they wanted Lana to make a pop hit like in 2012.

He adds: “She impressed me every day. There were moments when she was fighting me. I could sense that maybe she didn’t want to have anybody think she wasn’t in control because I’m sure it’s really hard to be a woman in the music business. So we bumped heads a little bit, but at the end of the day we were dancing to the songs.”

3.1)
LDR: Dan said that everything on the record, all the songs have this kind of narco-swing. So whereas the beat and the verses on “West Coast” were really direct, the chorus naturally slipped into this half-time beat. I just remember everyone at the label being like, ‘God, it’s getting slower at the chorus?’ And we were like, yeah!
 
4) Also years ago there was an image floating around of a music video  that was intended for the UV Era but was scrapped, the music video included the water girls that we have now seen in the MTWBT AND FREAK Music Video, these girls also appeared in Neil Krug's 2014 Photoshoot named "Pale Fire", this photoshoot was allegedly for an upcoming single of the album but in ended up being scrapped off the record.


 
5)The original music video for the song "Ultraviolence" was the Freak Music Video that they recycled for the Honeymoon Era, sadly it was rejected because it would be controversial due to the fact that it was a tribute to the Jonestown Massacre, Interscope permitted Lana to recycle the material along the song Freak when there was not a lot of buzz surrounding her image.
 
6) Scrapped Homemade Video for "West Coast" and "Pretty When You Cry"
 
 
 

the way you typed this gave me a migraine

honeymoon is my favorite album by her. it has such beautiful gems so I don't understand all of the hate it gets
my favorites are terrence loves you, freak, art deco, religion, salvatore, and the blackest day

"You can't be true fans if ..." ew. 
Apart from that it's not really about slow or fast, it's about how monotonous it is. The production, the vocals and the tempo have not much variation at all. No heaps of passion or energy. Solid tracks but they don't add up to something extremely interesting
