I mean just hydrangea's like the inside of the Ultraviolence box set

The UK deluxe original pressing was a gatefold as well as the picture disc in the box set and both have the skyline. But perhaps they'll use the hydrangea's to match the alternate artwork; similar to the box set inner lining.

Regarding the Born To Die era, I believe it all just came together as she'd just been signed to Stranger Records and they were having success with her as an indie pop artist. She started with a viral song online, she herself says she had no idea or intention for Video Games to be the first song people heard from her, it was just a song she loved and she posted it on YouTube. She'd posted loads of other demos online in the years 2009-2011 and hadn't achieved radio or chart success - and a lot of which were reworked for her major label debut. I imagine once signed to Stranger Records the process was more just Lana we've got a top 10 hit single in the UK, we're gonna make an album/EP, what songs do you already have? Then they probably played various tracks (we've seen the 22 track album sampler CD) to different teams, labels etc for feedback. Take that feedback into consideration alongside some of Lana's favourite tracks and a tracklist probably began to take shape. Obviously that's tracks spanning over a 3 year period, if not longer, in which her style changes (even now each album's style shifts), so if she was making music with no project in mind then there was no need for cohesion? Also she was writing a lot of pop songs with other artists in mind, so even if it was a collection of songs that she and her team loved I imagine it was a bit messy sounding. At this point I imagine Interscope were fully involved and they wanted to bring in a well known producer (Emile), to get all the songs re-recorded or reproduced to make a cohesive body of work. An up to date baroque pop sound which Lana genuinely seemed to adore at that time; I know her opinions on her music have changed but I don't believe for a second that she didn't love Born To Die! So yes I can see why now she might feel like it's just a collection of songs that exist together but I think she's discredited a lot of her own work and vision as well as the creative team behind that project.

I just find it a bit odd that an artist of her status doesn't have that much a social media presence? Also, why don't they just have an official Lana Del Rey account ran by her team, they're still doing her Facebook so don't understand why her Instagram and Twitter had to go?

Charli XCX - CRASH I'm not a big fan of Charli as an album, so I thought I'd take some of my favourites from that album and try include them on CRASH so that I listen to them more frequently!

Lana Del Rey - Lust For Life Imagining what Lust For Life might have sounded like if Lana hadn't went down the political/folk sound during the recording sessions.

I think either Lana Del Rey, Kill Kill or Nevada. But knowing Lana it could literally be anything!

Just give me the unreleased Art Angels act ii

My version of Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd: Deluxe version of Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd:

So, what do we think the chances are that once Taylor Swift has completed her re-recordings that we'll get a 'From The Vault' album compiling all the vault tracks in one place with exclusive vault tracks from Lover - Midnights? I didn't forget about folklore and evermore, I just ran out of room on my hypothetical CD tracklisting... Since we have received from vault songs from Lover and Midnights already I just went with them. I can't see folkmore having a lot of From The Vault tracks, as I imagine folklore leftovers started evermore, and evermore leftovers became the 3am edition of Midnights.

Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence The complete 22 track edition that we all deserve tbh.

Alleged tracklist:

Lana Del Rey - Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd 01. The Grants 02. Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd 03. A&W 04. Candy Necklace ft. Jon Batiste 05. Paris, Texas ft. SYML 06. Fingertips 07. Lost At Sea ft. Rob Grant 08. Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He's Deep-Sea Fishing ft. RIOBY 09. Kintsugi 10. Let The Light In ft. Father John Misty 11. Fishtail 12. Peppers ft. Tommy Genesis 13. Taco Truck x VB

I used the latest setlist as a framework and created what I would consider a realistic but also much better version:

Thought I'd share my Lana Del Rey albums, this is how I listen to these albums via playlists. I don't really touch anything pre-Lust For Life as I've listened to it so much as it is, it's hard to try and rearrange? Lust For Life (2017) Best American Record (2017) Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019) Chemtrails Over The Country Club (2020) Arcadia (2021) Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd? (2023)

Do we have the acoustic/TransAm mixes?

Knowing Lana, the festival setlist probably won't change, if change at all! However I wouldn't mind something like this, including a few more upbeat songs! Say Yes To Heaven seems like a no brainer at the London show considering it's her first UK top 10 hit in a decade.

I'm interested to see what songs people would choose for a Lana Del Rey re-release. Obviously without it being a 40 track compilation. I've created two hypothetical anniversary release templates for Born To Die and Ultraviolence, to see which which songs you would bring out of the vault and release officially. I've included any official bonus tracks as well as the alternate radio mixes from each era. I think for completion sake any demos or officially released leaks should be excluded? Born To Die (10th Anniversary Edition): Ultraviolence (10th Anniversary Edition):

Taylor Swift - Midnights

Kesha - High Road

Honestly I condensed it to a 12 track album and it's definitely an amazing record! 01. The Grants 02. Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd? 03. A&W 04. Candy Necklace 05. Paris, Texas 06. Fingertips 07. Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He's Deep-Sea Fishing 08. Kintsugi 09. Let The Light In 10. Fishtail 11. Peppers 12. Taco Truck x VB

Aren't her and Lana Del Rey both signed to Interscope? Maybe after the success of Say Yes To Heaven they're considering releasing some unreleased Lady Gaga material whilst she's not making new music? They gained a lot of success and momentum from Bloody Mary that I'm sure the label don't wanna lose whilst she goes back into acting. I think this could be a common thing now that Taylor Swift (with The Vault tracks and All Of The Girls You Loved Before) and Lana Del Rey have released leaked/unreleased material officially and it's been a success!

For me I'd be most interested in a Kesha folk record... Something in the vein of Spaceship! I think she'd shine on a full project like that and Gag Order has really shown how much potential she has. Also, I see Miley Cyrus being a good candidate for a modern folk record, she's obviously dabbled in country but the thought of something in the sonic realms of She's Not Him or Fweaky makes me excited! Both these artists could really make a psychedelic folk album and it's something I'd love to see! I know Lana Del Rey dipped her toe in to the folk water with some of her last projects but I think she'd be able to make it a commercial success and it not seem too off brand?

So I've been imagining what a Lady Gaga: The Eras Tour would like and honestly I think it would be pretty epic! My setlist:

This! For example they could've chucked in some of the XCX World "singles" and made this the album if they weren't sure on the sound of XCX World. 01. Dreamer ft. Starrah and RAYE 02. Girls Night Out ft. TyNi 03. 3am (Pull Up) ft. MØ 04. Roll With Me 05. I Wanna Be With U 06. ILY2 07. No Angel 08. Babygirl ft. Uffie 09. White Roses 10. Drugs ft. ABRA 11. Blame It On U 12. Waterfall 13. After The Afterparty ft. Lil Yachty
