Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!
Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition.
He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.
He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band.
Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with.
He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do)
Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "
says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl,
Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing.

Lana Del Rey and the Vogue Italia interview: «I felt like a car crash, with people who couldn't help but stop to spy on what had happened»
After a series of perfectly successful albums and a career that has consecrated her as an icon of these years, Lana Del Rey is ready to enter a new era. She talks about it in this interview, between an upcoming album, the mystical winds of the West Coast and love as a symbol of hope
by Corinne Corci
October 29, 2024
Lana Del Rey opens up about herself in an interview with Vogue Italia: «People used to think my lyrics were a problem, but now all singers “peel” their hearts like they were an apple»
At one point in her youth, Elizabeth Grant watched the lights of Lake Placid, Essex County, flicker and darken through twinkling streamers for the last time. She would see them again, after moving to New York and then London, before returning and becoming Lana Del Rey to everyone. "I have a stolen video, made by a boy I used to date. It's evening and we're talking in the car, pretending to answer an interview, after I became famous. He was asking me what I would have done if I hadn't been a singer. That would be the only way I would start a film about my life ." In recent years, however, she hoped that no one would ever think of directing it. "There are a few reasons why I think that. There's a lot that people don't know, because there's so much I don't want to say."
I speak to Elizabeth, Lizzy to her father, Lana to the world, while she is at the airport in Los Angeles, a gray tank top and her hair blonde with the sun and salt of August, even if she is thinking of going back to brown by the end of the year. "I reached Charlie (Charles, her brother, ed. ) and his wife. It's a good moment for me , for him and for Chuck (Caroline, her sister, ed .), it's like everything has found the right fit. When the family is well, everything works accordingly." A few days later, Lana would fly to Paris and to the Reading & Leeds Festival in England, giving one of the performances described as among the most intense of the new tour , even when the microphone went off and she remained to watch the fireworks from the stage.
Praised artist, icon, cinnamon girl, sad girl, muse of Alessandro Michele for Gucci, forerunner of alternative pop as well as advocate of an “ old Hollywood ” iconography that has surrounded her since her debut in 2012 with Born to die . Lana Del Rey grew up close to stories that have become our history because in a certain sense she has elaborated them for others, and in this feeling of being the beating heart of her own vicissitudes she has found the inspiration to transform them into harmony, becoming the voice of a generation . She is also trying with Lasso , the new album born from a period spent between Mississippi and Arkansas, but which as we speak is still in progress, so much so that it could be released with a different title. «There was a lot of “American flair”, too much of that very American aesthetic. I stopped because I didn’t recognize myself . I would like this album to be a reflection of the person I am today. I might turn it into something more “ southern gothic ,” like it was supposed to be in the beginning, and less country.”
Lately, when she listens back to singles like “Ride” and “Video Games ,” whose lyrics inspired fans to build entire personalities around them, she feels a separation. “ I’m entering a new era . It has to do with living in Oklahoma and feeling different. My eyes have seen so much open space, I’ve felt the wind, and that’s the kind of energy I want to talk about now.”
“Beautiful, mysterious, tormented and inevitably fatal just like life.” This is the tag line that accompanied the release of Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides in 1999 , one of Del Rey’s favorite films. She seems to have always shared the director’s vision with which she has told the story of the evolution of girls trying to get on with life. “We met one summer thanks to Gia Coppola. Gia is very good friends with my friends, they all have children, they play together. Sofia asked me to write a couple of songs for a film she was directing, Priscilla . I was very happy, but as always happens with deadlines, I got there at the last minute.” She didn’t manage to deliver them, but watching the film about the story of Mrs. Presley that inspired Del Rey from the very beginning – her hair and makeup at the 2013 Echo Music Awards, an indolent and dreamy way of accepting life – she saw a similarity with her work. “ I think of my songs as if they were films .” Flashback, cut, memory. Cinema was a family habit. I think back to certain Christmases, to all these people with giant video cameras filming us… my life is on videotape . And my sister became a photographer, she is the person behind the images that concern me».
The images on these pages, however, were taken by Steven Meisel in New York and inspired by a shoot with Sofia Coppola for Vogue Italia in 2014. It can be said that they represent a new personal milestone for Del Rey, because since she was a teenager she tried by any means to reach the largest city beyond Lake Placid and buy a copy of this magazine: « My friends and I called it “Vogue Italy”, we put photos of the services on the walls . I remember thinking: if something happened and I became someone, I would have Meisel take my picture, because he lets himself be guided by intuition like me. On set we listened to the soundtrack of Paul Schrader's Cat People ». This is her second cover, after the first one taken by Steven Klein in 2019. « At the time I wondered if Franca Sozzani and Francesco (Carrozzini, with whom she was engaged from 2014 to 2015, ed .) would like those photos ». He smiles.
In the car, when that boy asked her, in the short clip of that video that she still has, she replied that she would never do anything else but sing . «I was the frontwoman of my church choir. I lived in a tiny place, 700 inhabitants. I moved there when I was one year old, I went to school with the same people, then at 15 I lived the most chaotic and beautiful period I could live. I was allowed to go out alone for the first time. I could make mistakes, I could dream . I started doing those small jobs you do when you are not yet an adult, the waitress, the hostess. I was so excited that I even imagined staying in Lake Placid for the rest of my life».
Then, a new private school in Duluth, Minnesota, "the coldest city in America, people's pastime was bonding in bars". Elizabeth Grant doesn't know anyone and the worst period arrives that convinces her to escape to New York , where the indie rock of Phosphorescent and the Magnetic Zeros monopolizes the club scenes where Grant also performs, without anyone listening to her. From 19 to 25 she lives in the Bronx and Brooklyn, "one of my darkest moments", until after a series of managers - "two young and unknown and two famous and old" - she meets Ben Mawson and flies to London. "I still called myself Lizzy Grant but I felt that something different was happening". Because Lana Del Rey was not born as a defense mechanism from the world. It comes rather as a result of a love for the atmospheres of New Orleans and for the West Coast where today she drives for hours abandoning herself to the same Western sky filmed by Wim Wenders, singing about her body as if it were a map of the Sierra Madre (Arcadia, 2021). «When I was little I didn't know much about music, but I knew a lot about actresses». Lana, then, like Lana Turner . Del Rey like Delray Beach, Florida . «It was as if my name had the ocean».
After nine albums, a collection of poems, the definitive consecration on TikTok by the new generations who have also consumed the latest album ( Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd ), and after a series of collaborations, at 39 years old Lana Del Rey no longer feels any pressure. She speaks with an exact and comforting voice, aware that everything has taken her far away, towards herself. «Once people thought that my lyrics were a problem, instead now all singers “peel” their heart like it was an apple . I think it's positive. Maybe if I had started with music now and not 12 years ago I would be a true poet of pain and I wouldn't have suffered so much». There has always been mystery in her, in others the dark need to examine the source. «It's terrible when people dig into your shadows to find something, it's like an obsession. And I ended up in it. A bit like Ophelia or Juliet . I felt like a car crash, with people who couldn't help but stop to spy on what had happened. Maybe Freud said it, 30 percent of what you think about yourself is actually what you've heard others say about you . That's why, especially in recent years, I've reconnected with my shadows, I've been very careful. I didn't want to end up like that car, I didn't want to become Ophelia. I only wanted her flowers."
Lana Del Rey. Elizabeth Grant has changed day after day, peeling off by herself like petals do. The same ones that fans bring her to concerts and that then decorate the asphalt of the streets in arenas and out-of-town structures like traces of enchantment. A phenomenon of extreme proselytism and magic that has already happened for artists like Stevie Nicks and for those who sought the experience of mysticism in them. «Spelling a word, dividing it into letters, has the same matrix as “to spell”, that is, to enchant, to instill a spell in others. I want my whole life and everything I sing to be the positive result of something . I believe in magic because for me it means being optimistic, having hope and being able to instill it».
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but I have it , says the title of one of her most famous songs. «Hope is power. Any religious person has done what we now call manifesting , because they had faith. They saw heaven where there was none ». That's how love is, as they say in Cat People , it's just you and me and as long as we're there, there will be hope. «My problem is that in my relationships there have always been three of us. Me, him and Hollywood. When I get married, I'll do it with someone who, like me, will think that love is enough. I'll be enough for him and he'll be enough for me. Someone to have children with if there are any and who chooses to stay home with me. I want it to be simple, a love that doesn't respect time. Like saving each other ».
A month after this conversation, Lana Del Rey would have married the nature guide Jeremy Dufrene . It would have happened on a simple Thursday in September, on the banks of a river in Louisiana, in the presence of a few simple friends. On social media we would have seen the video stolen from a camera, another, and read the comments of her fans: « Lana has always been this. And it is so real ».

Lana Del Rey and the Vogue Italia interview
“ I felt like a car crash, with people who couldn't help but stop to spy on what had happened”
After a series of perfectly successful albums and a career that has consecrated her as an icon of these years, Lana Del Rey is ready to enter a new era. She talks about it in this interview, between an upcoming album, the mystical winds of the West Coast and love as a symbol of hope.
Lana Del Rey opens up about herself in an interview with Vogue Italia: “People used to think my lyrics were a problem, but now all singers “peel” their hearts like they were an apple” At a certain point in her youth, Elizabeth Grant watched the lights of Lake Placid in Essex County flicker and fade through shimmering streamers for the last time. She would see them again, after moving to New York and then London, before returning to become known to everyone as Lana Del Rey. “I have this old video of a boyfriend talking to me in the car, from a long time ago. He was just pretending I’m doing an interview after I’ve become famous. I remember I was very myself in that moment, not defensive. He asks me what I would have done if I hadn’t become a singer. This is the way I’d ever open a movie about my life.” But in recent years, she’s been hoping no one would ever get the idea to make it. “There are so many reasons why. I feel like those movies are made for people that want they’re made. And there’s so much people don’t know, because there’s so much of my life I don’t want to say. Maybe I’ll make it on my own”.
I’m talking to Elizabeth – Lizzy to her father, Lana to the world that worships her like a saint – while she’s at LAX in a gray tank top, her hair blonde from the August sun and salt air, though she’s thinking of going “back to dark” again by the end of the year. “I just caught up with Charlie (her brother, Charles) and his wife. It’s a good time for me, he’s good, and my sister’s good too. It’s easier to be positive when the family's doing well”. A few days later, Lana would fly out to Paris and the Reading & Leeds Festival in England, delivering one of the most intense performances of the new tour, including the part when her mic cut out and she stayed on stage, quietly watching the fireworks.
Celebrated artist, icon, cinnamon girl, sad girl, Alessandro Michele’s muse for Gucci, trailblazer of alternative pop, and creator of a distinct “Old Hollywood” aesthetic that has surrounded her since her debut in 2012 at the age of 27 with Born to Die. Lana Del Rey has grown up with stories that have become our stories because, in a sense, she’s shaped them for us. By putting herself at the heart of her own experiences, she found the inspiration to turn them into harmony, becoming the voice of a generation. She’s aiming to do it again with Lasso, her new album born from the time she spent between Mississippi and Arkansas, although, as we speak, it’s still in the making and might even end up with a different name. “It had too much ‘American storytelling flair’. I put it on hold because I didn’t recognize myself in it. Originally, me and the label were excited because the energy of the music of the album was meant to reflect my new life. Now, I’m not so sure, but I’m usually pretty good with my own timing. I might turn it into something more ‘Southern gothic,’ like it was meant to be from the start, and less country.” Recently, when she listens to singles like Ride and Video Games, tracks that gave her fans enough to build entire personalities around, she feels a certain disconnect. “I’m entering a new era. It happened also with Chemtrails Ovet the Country Club and Blue Banisters, I made these albums by myself. It has a lot to do with living in Oklahoma and feeling different. My eyes have seen so many open spaces, I’ve felt the wind, and that’s the kind of energy I want to talk about now.”
“Beautiful, mysterious, haunting, invariably fatal. Just like life.” That was the tagline for The Virgin Suicides, released in 1999 by Sofia Coppola, one of Del Rey’s favorite films. She seems to have always shared the same lens through which Coppola portrays young women trying to stay alive. “We met one summer through Gia Coppola, her cousin. Gia’s good friends with my friends, they all have kids who play together. Sofia asked me to write a couple of songs for a film she was directing, Priscilla. I was thrilled, but like always, when I’ve got a deadline, I waited until the last minute.” She couldn’t make the deadline, but watching the film about Mrs. Presley, who has been a source of inspiration for Del Rey since the beginning – her hair and makeup at the 2013 Echo Music Awards, her languid and dreamy approach to life – she saw a parallel with her own work. “I think of my songs as if they were films. Flashbacks, cuts, memories, with a monologue that’s running. Cinema was always a family thing. I think back to childhood, all these people with giant cameras filming me, my sister and my brother. They captured all my every single Christmas. And my sister became a talented photographer. She’s the one behind most of the images you see of me.”
The images in this spread, though, were shot by Steven Meisel in New York and inspired by a shoot he did with Sofia Coppola for Vogue Italia in 2014. It’s safe to say this represents a personal milestone for Del Rey, because ever since she was a teenager, she’d find any way to get to the biggest city beyond Lake Placid just to buy a copy of our magazine: “My friends and I used to call it Vogue Italy, and we’d pin the photos up on our bedroom walls. I remember thinking: if something happened and I ever became somebody, I’d want to be photographed by Meisel, because he follows his intuition like I do, when he’s ready you need to be ready too. And I waited, and waited and waited. On set, we listened to Giorgio Moroder’s soundtrack for Paul Schrader’s Cat People.”
This is her second Vogue cover, following her first shot by Steven Klein in 2019. “Back then, I wondered if those photos would have been approved by Franca Sozzani and Francesco (Carrozzini, whom she dated from 2014 to 2015, ed.).” She smiles.
In the car, when that guy asked her in that short video she still keeps, she replied that she couldn’t imagine doing anything other than singing. “I was the leader of my church choir from the time I was 12. I lived in this tiny town with 700 people. We moved there when I was a year old, and I went to school with the same people. At 15, I had the craziest and most wonderful time. It was the first time I was allowed to go out alone, to make mistakes, to dream. I started taking on those jobs you do when you’re still a kid, waitressing, hostessing. I was so excited that I could even see my whole life in Lake Placid. But I wanted a life as a singer.” Then she ended up at a new private school in Duluth, Minnesota, “the coldest city in America”. Elizabeth Grant didn’t know anyone, and it was the worst time of her life. So she escaped to New York, where the indie rock of Phosphorescent and Edward Sharpe, The Strokes, and Tv on the Radio ruled the club scene that she was also performing in, without anyone paying attention. From age 19 to 25, she lived in the Bronx and Brooklyn, “one of my darkest periods”, until, after a series of managers – “two more young and two more famous and old” – she met Ben Mawson and moved to London. “My aesthetic, my desider, nothing of that had changed from the years in New York. I was still calling myself Lizzy Grant, but I could feel something different was happening.” Because Lana Del Rey wasn’t born as a defense mechanism against the world. She emerged instead from a love of the atmospheres of New Orleans and the West Coast, where she now drives for hours, surrendering to the same Western skies captured by Wim Wenders, singing about her body like it’s a map of the Sierra Madre (Arcadia, 2021). “When I was a kid, I didn’t know much about music, but I knew a lot about actresses. And I wanted the name of an actress.” Ergo, Lana, as in Lana Turner. And Del Rey, as in Delray Beach, Florida. “It was as if the ocean were already built into my name.”
After nine incredible albums, a poetry collection, and a definitive consecration on TikTok by a new generation of fans who have devoured her latest release (Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd), at 39 Lana Del Rey no longer feels any pressure. She speaks in a calm, assured voice, fully aware that everything that has led her this far has led her back to herself. “People used to think my lyrics were problematic, but now every singer is spilling away their hearts. I think that’s a good thing. Maybe if I’d started now instead of 12 years ago, I’d be a real poet of pain and wouldn’t have suffered so much.” There’s always been an air of mystery around her and, in others, a dark need to dig for its source. “It’s awful when someone wants to see in your shadows trying to find something. Most people must know I’m connecting with my shadows, and it’s ok, but for some people it’s almost like an obsession. And I got caught up in it. A bit like Ophelia or Juliet. It’s like a car crash that people couldn’t help but stop and stare at. Maybe it was Freud who said that 30 percent of what you think about yourself is really just what you’ve heard others say about you. That’s why I’ve been very careful, and mindful especially in recent years. I didn’t want to end up like that car. I didn’t want to become Ophelia. All I ever wanted from her were the flowers.”
Lana Del Rey, Elizabeth Grant, has changed day by day, shedding parts of herself like petals. The same ones her fans bring to concerts and then scatter on the streets outside the arenas and suburban venues like spells of enchantment. It’s a phenomenon of extreme devotion and magic, much like what happened with artists like Stevie Nicks, for those who sought a mystical experience through them. “The spelling of a word, breaking it down into letters, comes from the same root as ‘spell’.” She tells me she thinks about it often. “It’s like casting a spell, instilling a sort of magic in others. I want my whole life, and everything I sing, to be the positive result of something. I believe in magic because, to me, it means being optimistic, having hope, and being able to share it.” Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have, but I Have It, says one of her most famous song titles. “Hope is power. Anyone who’s ever been religious has done what we now call ‘manifesting’ because they had faith. They saw heaven where there was none.” That’s what love is, like the scene from Cat People in which the actress says something like it’s just you and me, and as long as we’re here, there’s hope. “Most of the people I met wanted Hollywood to be the third part in our relationship. When I get married, it’ll be to someone who, like me, believes that love is enough. I’ll be enough for him, and he’ll be enough for me. Someone to have children with if that happens, or just friends. I want it to be simple, I need to be with someone who wants to plan to stay home with me. Love is to be saved and that’s magic.”
One month after this conversation, Lana Del Rey married nature guide Jeremy Dufrene. It took place on a quiet Thursday in September, on the banks of a Louisiana swamp, with only a few close friends present. On social media, we saw the footage, stolen from yet another camera, and read the comments from her fans: “Lana has always been this. She’s so real.”

Lana Del Rey Has Songs Ready for Country Album but Doesn't Want It to Be 'Half-Cooked': 'We'll Get There'
Lana Del Rey wants fans to know she isn't rushing perfection when it comes to releasing her hotly-anticipated country album, Lasso.
Speaking with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly at the 2024 Instyle Imagemaker Awards held in Los Angeles on Thursday, Oct. 24, the singer, 39, offered a brief glimpse into where her head's at as she inches closer to the release of her next body of work.
"I think all the songs have been Americana and I want to wait to see what the musical atmosphere feels like," she says of Lasso. "'Cause I don't usually feel like I need a pause in the creation process, but if there's a literal energetic pause that almost feels like physical, then I have to wait and I don't know why."
The "Born to Die" performer adds, "I'll have to see if it's because of something someone's done or because it's going to take a turn."
Although Del Rey can't put a specific release date on the project just yet, she teases that "we'll see. But the songs I have, I love, so I don't want to turn it into something that's half cooked, even if it's super stripped back. I want it to be what it was supposed to be."
As for fans patiently awaiting the album's release, all she has to say is, "They can be excited for all the other good stuff going on. We’ll get there. First things first!"
Those who want a glimpse of a Americana-twanged Del Rey need to look no further than her most recent collaborative single: "Tough," which features Quavo. Backed by an emotional, country-influenced guitar riff that carries vocals discussing everything from "the scuff on a pair of old leather boots" to "blue-collar, red-dirt attitude," the music video flashes scenes of country roads, farm homes and other elements of Americana.
Del Rey previously told NME earlier this year that Lasso will contain songs that have “maybe less to say in terms of any self-revealing things like on Tunnel or Blue Banisters or Chemtrails over the Country Club," describing her new songwriting as "more melodic. Maybe more American Songbook style?”
Ultimately, the "Summertime Sadness" singer is aware of country music's power in the industry today. "When I gave Jack Antonoff his award for best producer of the year, I said, ‘Welcome Nashville to Hollywood and Hollywood, welcome to Nashville because the music business has gone, gone country.' And it went silent; 5000 people, dead silent," she told the outlet. "Then the next week, we had three major artists announce big country albums."

It's been a long journey to get to see her as I've had countless opportunity that didn't come to fruition (canceled shows, the Olympia which was impossible to get tickets to,...). Until she arrived there I was still anxious something could happen again, and the delay didn't help. At the same time I was extremely exited for having a chance to finally see her because I've been a fan for so many years.
When the music started, it felt really special and my excitement increased exponentially. When she walked on that stage, something really magical washed over me. Her aura is indescriptible. Her fragility is powerful. She has so much charisma and she is very caring of her fans.
I had seen many videos before but I can tell you it's a completely different experience being there. She nailed the show. Her vocals were very emotional and precise. I love how she sings them differently than on the albums. The arrangements were spot on.
The whole set was beautiful, really poetic and fitting to her art. I used to find the dancers pretty pointless but since 2023 they've gotten increasingly more interesting and fitting. From the point of view I had it actually worked perfectly (way better than it does in video form). The only time I tough they were not necessary and too distracting was during Video Games because I think the focus should be on Lana Singing and the interaction with the fans during that song.
I have trouble explaining how emotional it was for me. I've been to countless concerts and been a fan of a few other artist before but I neever felt what I felt there during her show and now thinking about it. I guess the wait was worth it and that it's good that I haven''t seen her before, so I could see her at the top of her game.
I completely agree with you. I had seen some 2023 performances but it didn't bother me that the setlist was not that much different because it's a completely different experience to see it for yourself. And there were actually quite a few changes from the very first performance. Seing how much work is put into this and all the people on that scene with her, I can't see her changing the setlist for every show.
Tough I do get that people are bored with songs that have been on her setlist for many tours (like Cherry and Pretty when you cry) but it was the first time seing her perform these in person for me so I was happy she did them since they work really well with the dancers and the live band.
I didn't understand that. I tough she was talking about the ex the song was about. Thanks for pointing that out.
