Je suis en contact avec sa team / tourneur FR j'update ici dès que j'ai des nouvelles En tt cas pour l'instant on sait juste que ça va être un enfer, très peu d'invitations presse (j'attends encore la mienne) et il y aura une "surprise" don't know what yet
-
nop not at all but the very limited amount of capacity will make the tickets sold out in seconds I'm sure
-
I think it will be veryyyyy special and intimate (there's only 2000 capacity it's basically nothing) I'm so happy I just got an invitation, I will do a live report of the show for a French music magazine. I might even get to meet her before the show since journalists can usually arrive a bit early. y'all im getting paid to see her live and write about it. I'm dreaming right now

In my soul's temperament, a rare jewel glows, Like the first ray of sunshine after winter's snows, Spinning in a world of ancient beauty and grace, I seek hope, like a bird searching for its place. My gander takes me on a journey through time, Like a comet soaring through a cosmic rhyme, And in my jalopy, I see my past's reflection, Like a book of memories in constant recollection. Nostalgia is a painting of yesterday's hues, A tapestry of moments woven by life's muse, And love is a butterfly with wings so bright, Fluttering to the rhythm of life's endless flight. So I keep spinning like a top on a string, A melody of emotions that only I can sing, For in this world of complex mysteries and lore, Beauty lies waiting, like a rare flower in a moor.

I think it does, especially that in the MV she's shown wearing pearls and diamonds necklaces, that she refers as "candy', diamonds and pearl represent the money, fame and stardom in particular during Monroe era. She doesn't care about that fame anymore it's futile to her, she's oppressed by it (White noise coming out of my brain) Just like in 13 beaches she personifies fame as a lover (Sittin' on the sofa, feelin' super suicidal Hate to say the word, but, baby, hand on the Bible I do Feel like it's you, the one who's bringing me down Thought that we were cool and we were kickin' it like Tribe Called Quest You the best, but, baby, you've been bringing me down I can see it now ) What she was once obsessed with (BTD era, hence the hairstyle reference) is now something killing her. Yes, it's not the only reference but a main inspiration I think, throughout the album, it's a retrospective on her carrer, this tunnel under ocean blvd. All the tracks discuss this internal dialogue. She's questioning what's important to her, should she continue down that road (fame and stardom) ? What's her legacy ? Does she need to concentrate on more important things ? (family, god)... Referencing old Hollywood stardom is not new to her but this time she's putting it into perspective (hence showing the BTS), it's not that glamorous to her anymore (that's why I'm not surprised by the MV as it pretty much reflects perfectly the themes she put out on the record.)

A big idea around BD is that she was never left to rest in peace, because her death was extremely present in the media, making her the sad legend she is today. She was tortured and never left alone by the press which is obviously one of - if not the biggest - theme Lana explored on the record. So it's obvious to me, considering the context in which this video was made, the lyrics and themes of OB, that she's telling this story in particular and not any other 40s star. As I said earlier, I really love the vid, it's beautiful but (to me) expected, listening to the record, I expected Lana to approach visuals this way, the BD reference is logical (to me).
-
I think she pushed it pretty far tbh (the hairstyle, the murder, the film noir aesthetic, the post WWII elements (decor, music), the Los Angeles setting, ending the MV on Hollywood Boulevard where The Black Dahlia actually lived for a while (and at the time of her murder I believe)... I mean it was very obvious at first watch.

Hi everyone, If you guys ever have an idea, I might need some help in my thesis, I'll take everything (lyrics, life moments, interview moments, visuals, honestly anything you can think of) !!! In my thesis, "Commentary on fame: Poetics and politics of womanhood through Lana Del Rey's life and art," I aim to explore the complex relationship between fame, gender, and artistic expression by analyzing the music and public persona of Lana del Rey. To do so, I will draw on theoretical frameworks from feminist theory, cultural studies, and musicology. One of the key concepts in my analysis is power, and I will draw on feminist theories of power to explore the ways in which female artists like Lana del Rey navigate the politics of representation and the construction of celebrity identities. Specifically, I will use Michel Foucault's notion of power as productive and diffuse to argue that power operates not only through top-down coercion, but also through the production of subjectivities and identities through discourse. I will also draw on the concept of intersectionality, developed by Kimberlé Crenshaw, to argue that gender intersects with other aspects of identity, such as race and class, to shape the experiences and opportunities of female artists in the music industry. To support my analysis, I will use specific examples from Lana del Rey's music and public persona. For instance, I will analyze the themes of femininity, sexuality, and power in her music, drawing on specific songs like "Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd" and "Born to Die." I will also examine her controversial statements about feminism and her relationship with the media, drawing on interviews and media coverage from specific dates and sources. Furthermore, I will use concepts from cultural studies to explore the cultural and historical context of celebrity culture. Specifically, I will use Stuart Hall's concept of encoding/decoding to analyze how the media frames and represents female artists like Lana del Rey, and how audiences decode and interpret these representations. I will also draw on Richard Dyer's theory of the star system to analyze the ways in which celebrity culture constructs and commodifies celebrity identities. Overall, my thesis seeks to offer a critical analysis of the complex and often fraught world of celebrity culture, and its intersections with gender and artistic expression. By drawing on specific examples from Lana del Rey's life and art, I hope to provide a nuanced and insightful perspective on the intricate interplay between fame, gender, and artistic expression.

I love the video, it's very her, beautifully directed, very metaphorical - love the artistic direction - It's expected, but well executed.

If she wanted to chart, she could. YTH, Serial Killer, QOD, these are TikTok hits that would do as well outside of the social media and I'm sure her team knows it, she'll be fine. She's making music for herself, not charts, like I don't see her caring about that at all, considering the very strong connection she has with her fans. -
