    also it would be so much better if she uses more production for new videos instead of using recycled material like in the honeymoon era!

    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.

    ah yeah the lana del rey "pop hit" that was Born To Die, a total sellout album, no creativity, a fake, a scam, she didn't even sing on most of the songs her daddy bought her ghost vocalists.
     
    There's been a lot of negative reactions when UV songs premiered so i really don't think the reactions from her team/label were much different to those of her fans.

    ^ 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.

    tbh i have to say that it is a fact that this was her best record, on lyrical terms she has improved a lot and the sound and ambiance for this record was the  appropriate, the only reason people don't like this one as much as BTD or Uv is because they cannot shake their twink asses like in BTD  or cut their veins like in UV
    the only thing that i can agree with is that the production of the videography was the worst cause they only used recycled material from the UV era.

    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.

    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.

    2.1)
    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.”

    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!

    tbh i have to say that it is a fact that this was her best record, on lyrical terms she has improved a lot and the sound and ambiance for this record was the  appropriate, the only reason people don't like this one as much as BTD or Uv is because they cannot shake their twink asses like in BTD  or cut their veins like in UV
    the only thing that i can agree with is that the production of the videography was the worst cause they only used recycled material from the UV era.

    I seriously DO NOT understand all this hate towards Honeymoon? Most of ya'll are complaining that it was boring, but it's funny because it was the first album that got me into Lana. You can't be true fans if you can't appreciate what a beautiful record it is. Just because it's slow doesn't mean it's boring. Not everything has to have big beats and fast paced random lyrics to be enjoyable.
     
    The Honeymoon record is all about capturing a certain mood, creating an atmosphere with very few words. The instrumentals in Honeymoon, MTWBT and Art Deco are haunting and very dark. I am so confused by some of you guys saying you dislike it. I personally love every aspect of Lana. I feel as though if it were another singer doing this record, i probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. But it's Lana, so what's not to like?
     
    Honeymoon was a wonderful, beautiful and creative era and i'll forever miss it.

    also it would be so much better if she uses more production for new videos instead of using recycled material like in the honeymoon era!
