I heard "Brooklyn baby's white lines" during the bridge.

Yeah, she co-wrote, and in the album booklet, she's also credited as doing backing vocals in the song. Out of all the background vocals, I'm not sure which are her and which are Lana, but I think she's the one singing the "Oooh" in the chorus.

The female French vocals in Carmen were provided by Lenha Labelle and the background vocals in Lolita were by Hannah Robinson (I assume that's what you meant?). I'm not sure about TIWMUG though.

Unless Lana and Rick changed or added new lyrics. They probably just meant songs he co-wrote with Lana rather than songs he produced, since he also wrote West Coast and we know Dan definitely produced it.

It sounds like whoever remixed it used the vocal track from the radio mix. I'd assume "leaving you for the music" means she left him so she could have a career as a singer.

Agreed with @@getdrunk. I also hear "You say you'll miss me and I wanna say I'll miss you so much" and "Hold me close and you say 'Hush, baby hush'" (though I could be wrong).

Cruel World, Money Power Glory, and Ultraviolence seem like reasonable guesses imo. I'm actually hoping for Old Money though because then we could finally hear what it sounds like before the album, haha. Cruel World could also work if Lana wants to make the music video a short film like she did with Ride.

I love it. Her vocals sound a lot better and the guitar intro and the last chorus are awesome. If she released this version in the US, she could probably get a decent sized hit imo.

I hope he's married because that would work perfectly with my Damn You theory. Also it looks like he lived in New Jersey at one point... I should probably stop, I'm starting to feel like a stalker now, lol.

She says it here as well. She also mentioned in other interviews how much she loves Britney Spears, Janis Joplin, and Amy Winehouse. It's Lana, half of everything she says makes no sense whatsoever. EDIT: Oh, and of course Marilyn Monroe, haha!

I'm not sure if it's against the rules to post something personal about a non-famous person (other than being morally questionable), but based on one of his social media accounts, I don't think that's what he looks like.

Pretty sure that's not him, lmao.

I love this interview. I kinda had a feeling Mr. Campbell would be relatively young (not too many middle-aged men listen to Biggie and Tupac, lol). I find it really interesting that he actually introduced her to a lot of the things that would go on to influence her career and songwriting in such a grand way. He definitely must have had a large effect on her life. Hopefully now people won't accuse me of 'reaching' next time I try my hand at Lanalysis.

It's great, definitely one of her best imo. I think there's a reasonable chance of it being produced by someone other than Dan, at this point at least. We know he didn't produce every song on the standard album, so you never know! I think Pretty When You Cry is a cover.

I don't think Black Beauty should be included in the "no remakes" mentality. All we heard was a rough demo, not to mention the fact that we weren't meant to hear anything at all. It was never supposed to be seen as an 'old song reworked', if it hadn't leaked, no one would be saying anything right now. I think it's better that the fans leaking the song didn't force Lana to leave it off the album, especially considering how much it apparently means to her (she was mentioning it in interviews long before the album was even announced, and out of the batch of songs that leaked last summer, it seemed to be the only one that really upset her).
