    I’m glad to hear her Coachella performance has made you more interested in her music!

    I would say to start with Norman fucking Rockwell or her newest album Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd as those two have a good mix of different sonic styles and have a lil something that can appeal to everyone.

    Then move onto Born to Die (Paradise Edition) & Ultraviolence - her two cult classic albums, but they each have very distinct unique sonic styles. The first is more pop focused and the second is more influenced by rock. My personal favourite album is Ultraviolence, and it won Album of the Decade in 2022 for LanaBoards’ annual awards ceremony, so it seems to be the general fan favourite here as well.

    Honeymoon, Lust for Life, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and Blue Banisters are her more underrated records again with each having their own distinct style, but they all have their gems and each album has at least a couple songs that will appeal to someone based on their individual taste.

    If you want to list some of your favourite artists and your favourite songs from them I could give you more personalised recommendations, but 10 good general starter songs for everyone are Born to Die, Off to the Races, Ride, West Coast, Shades of Cool, The Blackest Day, Cherry, Get Free, Cinnamon Girl, and A&W (I would say Video Games too, but you said in your post that you’ve listened and liked that one)

    I would also say to watch the music videos too as seeing the visuals with the music brings a whole other level to the songs. Some great videos to watch are the ones for Ride, Born to Die, National Anthem, Shades of Cool, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and Candy Necklace.

    I hope you enjoy! Xx

    EDIT: AAA WAIT IS THIS THAT PETE THE TOUR MANAGER WHO TALKED SHIT ABOUT HER BRAZILIAN FANS? 


    No, that was Will Whitney, a drum tech. This is Peter Abbott, her longtime tour production manager who she threw plates at in Dallas 2015 lol x

    From a 2018 interview article: Recalling the beginnings of his working relationship with Del Rey, Abbott stated it all came down to being in the right place at the right time: "The tour I was working on in the US ended rather abruptly due to a family illness," began Abbott. "To fill my now-open schedule, I ventured back home to the UK to help out a friend's band, who ended up supporting Guillemots. This led to me meeting their manager, Ed Millett, who subsequently partnered with Ben Mawson to manage a brand new female artist by the name of Lana Del Rey. I was introduced to Lana in the street outside Webster Hall in New York whilst loading a truck for Marina and the Diamonds," recalled Abbott. "Ed asked me to look after Lana's first European shows that autumn. I jumped straight onto a bus with Lana and, metaphorically speaking, have never left!"

     

    Never left until now, that is x

    “Thank you guys. For fucking everything, Jack and John and Billie for showing up for me -and the band for just killing it and spending months in Sylmar in a 40° warehouse to the point but it was so cold that I caught laryngitis that literally left just a few hours before I hit the stage because Tessa DiPietro spent two hours lifting that cough remotely through her body intuitive skills just minutes before showtime, Wally Crowder for my bad as bikes. Every stunning dancer on stage, including my besties and Alex for her beautiful choreography. My stunning three singers who danced and sang their asses off in style and high matching boots. 
    Emily for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager... Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though. No worries – 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves. Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you fucking killed it with grace. Thank you to my managers Ben and Ed for making me laugh the entire way through everything for my whole freaking life even though none of it ever makes any sense. PS please send me an email If you decide to quit this year- 15 years is a long time for us too☺️😝
    Molly Dixon❤️ for those dresses, dolce and Gabbana for literally wrapping silk around my body for hours until I became a perfect shimmering swimming pool Etienne and Anna for somehow making my eyes change color on stage with witchy brush strokes of subtle peach make up and light old Hollywood hair, and Tracey Cunningham for changing my hair to the color of the desert like I wanted. And of course, Paul for inviting us.
    it was fun. I’ll see you again real soon.”

    @Elle when i typed my analysis (b4 u quoted), this picture came in mind:

    which u made me more confident in thinking that these two events occurred in the same day..! Look at those eyebrows.

    btw talking about eyebrows, i really loved that sperm-shaped brows she had in 2010 and summer 2016 (love mv and july 17 2016)


    I think that could very much be the case! The hair & makeup look the same and it even looks like she’s wearing the same earrings & cross necklace x

    Have a strong feeling this was filmed/performed on the day that btd album cover was taken

    That’s my point! Lana sported the same exact eyebrows and hair on july 2011 which made me think this was filmed on july but uploaded on oct (oct photos of lana doesnt resemble the performance’s look)…


    I think you’re onto something, but just a few days before then! I conducted a little Lanailysis and here’s what I found…

    In the BTD album shoot taken on July 22nd her nails were pink, but two days earlier on the 20th during her photoshoot with NME her nails were the same blue with white flower designs as seen in this performance video. Before that, she last did a photoshoot on June 11th where her nails were a different shade of blue and without the white flowers (which were drawn on her ring finger on both hands), which narrows this performance closer to July. Also, on October 10th which is the day this performance was originally said to be from, she also had a photoshoot where her nails had black tips. The next day, she had a performance where her nails still had black tips, so she didn’t get them redone between those days. Before these October dates, the last time we saw her was at Glasslands where her nails were also blue, but with a different design than in the video.

    So, I conclude that this performance took place sometime in July up until the 21st or 22nd when her nails were redone for the BTD cover shoot. It is also possible that she did this performance, got her nails redone, and then did the BTD shoot all in one day, but it doesn’t seem likely for all of that to get done in just one day. I think it’s more likely she did this a couple days prior. I’ll update the title to reflect this! Xx

    Before I can even share my thoughts, I still need to recover from the Hope is a Dangerous Thing performance. That had me bawling. I'm sure a lot of you know how much that song means to me. She portrayed it perfectly.. because sometimes when you truly are hopeless, you feel like a shell of yourself... a ghost... a withering whisper in the wind... just like a hologram. Perfect.

    Quick thoughts on the rest - she looked absolutely radiant. Hair, makeup, outfit, everything perfect. Once she got the opening nerves out of her, her vocals were beautiful too. Lots of emotion on Arcadia. The pole dance during Candy Necklace was iconic. The two songs with Billie were just so incredible I don't quite have words for that either except that I would absolutely kill to be in Billie's position where my favourite artist is not only singing my song, but is letting me sing her signature song with her. What an honour.

    Anyway. Need to pull it together a little bit more because Hope has destroyed me and I will be unreachable for the rest of the weekend as I have an existential crisis xx
