    Thank God I'm not a sassy homosexual man otherwise I mightve said the only doctor she's recently spoken to about her health was her plastic surgeon

    When I saw the poster lyrics "Cold cash divine" I thought it would be a raw song but then I heard it and it slayed my soul.

    Lana never intended to become famous in terms of doing TV shows, or even awards shows.
     
    Y’all have to understand that she’s only about her music. The bling around it doesn’t mean anything to her. As long as Interscope pays her sessions; she’s fine.
     
    There’s not a single song in her official discography that isn’t good. She constantly delivers quality music
     
    The fact that I‘ve been listening to her since 2011 is incredible. Usually I’m not attached to artists for such a long time since the music gets?“boring“.

    Been listening to Lust for Life a lot this week. I’ve always thought the album deserved more appreciation, but it was still the only album that didn’t become my new favourite Lana album when it came out. Sometimes I wonder if I wouldn’t have appreciated it either if it didn’t have the witchy aesthetics, the Shangri-La’s vibes, and the Stevie collab (those just happened to be things I lovelovelove). But I do consistently seem to like the album more and more over time. More and more over time I’ve been finding the album is a lot more thematically cohesive than it seems at face value. And idk it’s the album that most feels like an opera almost by the way the songs line up. Like I can almost visualize the curtains opening and closing with the discs as acts. Anyway, it’s kinda funny how I’ve been listening to this so much lately. It’s nowhere near as good as NFR but it’s a lot better than even I give it credit for most of the time. In general, 2017 was just an awkward sounding year for music, so I think with that in mind, Lust for Life was pretty darn good. Also, I still soar towards the heavens whenever Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems starts. I don’t think I’ll ever get over that song. I do hope we start seeing people come around to this album more over the years because it is a beautiful album with lots of layers we still haven’t made our way through yet. Sorry if I had nothing new to add, I’ve just been vibing with this album and had a bunch of nothing to say about it lol.

    I will admit, I would like to be in a fandom where an artist wins for once. However, I don't live my life liking things based on what awards they get, so I'm not too fussed! It would have been a deserving win, but on reflection here are some factors I think of why NFR didn't:
    Little to no campaigning from Lana to actually win the award. No interviews, long stretches on social media with no content related to the album, no TV performances or high profile talk shows to build and maintain hype. Is this her management or her? I'm inclined to think her. Shambolic roll-out of the album, including confusion over the singles. Venice Bitch and MAC weren't even confirmed inclusions until the track list came out, and at the time were called something dumb like 'fan singles'? The slow roll out of some of her strongest and well-received pieces (Venice Bitch, MAC and even Hope) meant they almost entirely dropped out of public view, and lead to an ineligibility of those tracks leads to none of them being able to nominated for Song of the Year. Norman Fucking Rockwell simply didn't have the same appeal. Also releasing the  Norman Fucking Rockwell was never, ever, EVER going to win song of the year. It didn't even have a film clip until very late last year. It wasn't sent to radio stations, and wasn't radio friendly.  She never sung her singles at her concerts. She balks at performing new material, and has fucked up with shaky performances live more than once. She didn't even perform at the awards. This is basically cementing the perception that she is still living in 'Born to Die' territory. Again, this is self-sabotage.  The title of the album, and the singles ('Venice Bitch', 'Norman FUCKING!! Rockwell', 'Fuck It I Love You') put prudes off, affected YouTube algorithms and search results on Google, and would have diluted aggregated results for the album due to the different titles (Norman Fucking Rockwell OR NFR! or Norman F**king Rockwell OR Norman Rockwell OR whatever else). The album didn't have the same appeal as things that regularly popped up like Bad Guy. The sacrifice of this title didn't really resonate with a lot of people and an artistic choice that probably put people off. The awards are rigged (discussed as recently as this week from the President of the Grammys), and most likely a committee was wanting to pick something popular to stay 'in touch' with current trends. It's still not 'cool' to like Lana del Rey.  Obviously she would be proud of the music, but apparently she can't even produce nice artwork for her singles, or format the titles of her tracks correctly. That really projects a feeling like she couldn't care less. If she doesn't care, why bother giving it to her?  Maybe controversially, it's simply not as good as her previous albums (?) and didn't have as many hits. While I wish she'd won, I think if she DID win, it would undeservingly absolve a lot of these issues that we were unhappy with during the roll-out of the album. If she is truly driven, and keen on winning the Grammy, then for the next album hopefully she will trust her managers a touch more, and we will see a refreshed approach, with a more considered approach to promotion and sensible choices. But maybe she actually doesn't care! (we know she does but eh).
