I'm happy to see there's no Azealia slander on this site. She's honestly the best female rapper of the last few years, if it hadnt been for her ego and complete lack of intellect maybe she could've had a real career.
I don't know why i feel bad for her since she hates the gays, muslims, mexicans and chickens but I hope she seeks for some mental help some day xo

Ok, the title is extra but I've been thinking about this a lot so here's my thought:
 
Lana Del Rey burst onto the pop scene in late 2011, time when music was dominated by electronic, dance pop music by astists such as Lady Gaga, Kesha, Katy Perry, etc. However the music industry needed a change, but it wasn't easy for Lana Del Rey to prove it. As she stated in a T Magazine interview back in 2012:
“I would play my songs, explain what I was trying to do, and I’d get, ‘You know who’s No. 1 in 13 countries right now? Kesha.’ ”
(source: https://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/09/a-star-is-born-and-scorned/?_r=0)
After years of trying, finally it was time for Lana Del Rey to get the recognition she deserved, and after the release of Video Games she became a the topic of every music blog around the world, causing controversy and all kinds of talk without really doing anything.
In an era when you HAD to appear in every tv show possible, had to have every radio station playing your song, had to wear the most outrageous costumes and had to get hit after hit, Lana Del Rey was able to sell over 5 million copies of Born to Die with minimal promo, no US hits (except for a remix) and almost no radio play. How is that possible ?
I'm not sure, but however she brought to the table a new sound, a new aesthetic and a whole new idea about what being a pop star really meant.
She took the music and fashion industry by storm, even being called the "anti-gaga" and was the most searched female of 2012 on google.
A big part of her popularity came for sure from all the controvesies she caused, her looks, SNL, glamourizing prostitution and death. But yet again she never really seeked for the attention of the masses, yet everybody was so interested in her and what she did, even when she wasn't doing anything
 
Her impact can still be seen today. Every new alternative/indie singer has cited her as an inspitation (Halsey, Melanie Martinez, Kali Uchis, Ryn Weaver, Troye Sivan, Dua Lipa, MØ etc.), her peers appreciate her music and draw inspitation from it (*cough* Taylor Swift's 1989 *cough* Selena Gomez's Revival *cough) and even some legends admire her work. She's really a trailblazer and if she hadn't been so criticized at the beginning of her career causing her to retire from the public eye to concentrate only on music, she would be one of the biggest artists out there right now.
 
That's all for now, sorry if it's quite a mess but i really just wanted to put this out there.. I'm gonna edit it later

not only made she alternative music popular again, she gave a complete new perspective on it.
She basically started it again.
 
She also heavily influenced fashion, for example 'Boho'. Everyone suddenly started to wear flowers and white flowy dresses.. i could go on and on.
Also the Lip thing, before it was kylie, it was lana.
 
 
her impact can even be seen on snapchat today with the flower crown.. who started it? exactly.
 
whether people know her or not, she's been giving not enough credit for everything she has done tbh.

Obviusly I wanted to add that other big artists such as Adele, Birdy, Florence Welch also helped bring back to mainstream the more "toned-down" pop star image but Lana was for sure one of the biggest influencers.

I wish Lana would like to more explore the dualism of her character. The truly intriguing thing I find about her music is the play on what she truly is and what she wants us to believe she is. I want to see the deconstruction her mask - party girl singing love songs accompanied by the languished boring music of Honeymoon behind which she hides her naked inner self full of insecurities, guilt and existential anxiety. The defense camouflage mechanism for us to never understand her, to never see behind the courtains. The dualism of outer and inner self, body and tricky mind, polarizing entities which then merge into full one. After all we all have our own Lana Del Rey persona. We carefully chooses the words we express to others, the behavioural acts we play in the fake performance of our everyday life. As Lana we seek parties, drugs and sex. Noisy and agressive. Just the actions not to be lonely. Which we are afraid to be, alone only with our own vulnerable existence.

i hope so, he's ug*y

I can't at ya'll hoping Lana announces something on Instagram Live, that would be even worse than the time she randomly announced West Coast replying to someone on twitter. Now she knows we know about YAIL so next step if for her to post the single cover

Honestly I'm more excited to see the video for YAIL that to hear the song. From what we know she'll be finally serving visuals, and the last *good* music video she put out was Shades Of Cool so it's really been a while . I'm not expecting any type of big promotion for this next era, seeing how it went with the last two but if she plays her cards right with this lead single i still think Lana would be able to get a commercially succesful album

I'll never forgive Lana for not continuing the frontal pose on album covers traditions...

Why are you all so excited, she always says the same thing before every album, that she loves it and that she can't wait to share it with us but that doesn't mean anything I'm happy she acknowledged its existence tho

I'll never forgive Lana for not continuing the frontal pose on album covers traditions...
