I hope she doesn't get discouraged from touring. I think she's considerably improved the more she does it.

Inb4 Black Beauty turns out to be a remix by Cedric Gervais 

This topic is seriously fascinating  ,
I hope we can figure out who it's about when we hear the song. 

I love how this interwiev is less whiny and depressive.
 
The first thing that came to my mind when she talked about the gurur was "Oh, so that's the original daddy!"
 
About the FMWUTTT-thing:
 
I don't think it's about Gaga. Gaga never officially critisized Lana and I don't see any similarities in her style. Of course, the feud could have been taking place in the "so legit" time, meaning that Gaga talked bad about Lana while being in the indie-underground-scene. But the sentence "people believe her, she's really successful" kind of indicates that the person Lana talks about critisized her in front of the mainstream audience.
 
Becuase of that I thinkn it's Lorde. Lorde sneered around a lot in front of the press, who aready often critized Lana for being too atificial. And Lorde's style is often compared to Lana's.
I don't think the line "Fucked My Way Up To The Top" has to refer to the singer lana's talking about, maybe she's ironically using this line to taunt the other singer with her own critic (in an exaggerated way, like "yeah, you're real art whilst I just fucked my way up to the top"). If you see it this way, the song could still refer to Lorde very well, without assuming that Lorde "fucked her way up tot he top". She's ridiculing the other singer by frankly singing this very catchy and controversial line, but so ironically that everyone sees that she#s not admitting something but making fun of someone else who critisized her. And I don't thin Lana will restrain to diss a 17y old. Remember her bitchy yt-comments? I would really like to see how she's using Lorde's face to mob the floor!

All of this just makes me want to hear the song more than ever 

I think the 'Fucked' in the title might not necessarily be as in having sex but rather as a person ruining/spoiling her way up to the top... just a thought

I find so interesting that there's lana del rey; the persona obsessed w/ opulence, glamour and 50s vintage vs, lizzy grant; science, metaphysics, cults (??)
 
more importantly it's nice that everyone's learnt to take what she says w/ a grain of salt.

It would explain a lot, but honestly she's probably just putting some sauce on a weird cult she spent hours reading about online as a teenager and got into. Lizzy Del Grant probably did not live in some weird commune with other teenage girls and a big charismatic "daddy" figure.
 
Do you know what UV is? a 60's/70's throwback album. Do you know what was a "thing" then? Being in a cult. She's the best fanfiction writer tho. 

YESS SO LEGIT PART 2. BANISH HALF THE FANBASE

It’s about a singer who first sneered about my allegedly not authentic style but later she stole and copied it. And now she’s acting like I am the art project and she the true super artist. 
 

 
It's a lot more likely she's talking about someone else (I think....) but lol @ the amount of artists you could use as a reply to this

My translation:
 
She is back, in fact everywhere! She even sang at Kimye’s Wedding. Next week her new album “Ultraviolence” will be released with hit songs like “Shades Of Cool”. But we think it’s the coolest how openly Lana talked with us about her chaos flat share, bad gurus and her desires and addictions.
First Coachella, then Cannes, eventually Versailles: Recently Lana Del Rey is jetting from one show to the next but when we met her at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills she seems completely relaxed, indeed she lives just around the corner. The beautiful songstress who redefined the meaning of “Retro-Coolness” when in 2011 she suddenly appeared and took over the charts, just moved from New York to the beach. So she comes to the interview like a real surfer girl – she wears short jeans, a pale shirt, sandals – and surprises us with her kind naturalness that we honestly didn’t expect from the unapproachable seeming siren of wide screen pop…
 
Did the life in New York become too hectic for you?
Well, my record label is located in L.A. I originate from Lake Placid a place in the mountains. So the Pacific feels like paradise. Now I walk  barefoot through the sand as often as possible.
And you think: You have come a long way?
Well yes, but not concerning my carrier. But in terms of lifestyle. I think that this cool beach life fits me better than New York. And I love the heat.
Your status as global star as well?
On some days I can do that but on others I’m struggling with my identity and I don’t know where I belong. Fortunately those good days get more and those bad ones less. And that risk that I lose the ground beneath my feet doesn’t exist anyway.
What makes you so sure?
I have a big family so I don’t really have to pay attention on staying down to earth, it happens automatically. At home it’s mostly about Charlie and Caroline and about what they want.
Who are…?
My brother and my sister. They are younger than me, 20 and 25. I kind of look after them. Wa all live in the same house. We three and Barrie my boyfriend.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
Well, we’re all living through some huge changes. Barrie left his band, my siblings are just becoming grown-ups.
And which change are you living through?
I’d really like to have a steady emotional stability. I’ve been looking for that my whole life. Naturally I’m a quiet, reserved observer.
For being a star you seem surprisingly introverted.
I come from a family in which we talked about our problems in a small circle. I grew up like that. Unlike those people who seem to live on Twitter and believe that they always have to provide information about anything.
How do you manage to be not as omnipresent as for example Lady Gaga?
You can control that. For example if you live at the edge of town like we do, in a normal area with completely normal neighbours.
When you got famous like overnight people doubted about the authenticity of your music.
Yeah, a huge topic. I’ve always felt confident about my music. Who doesn’t have to say anything cannot create pop music. I already know that later I’ll tell the whole story of my live to my children on the basis of my songs.
Like you do in “Fucked My Way UP To The Top” on your new album?
It’s about a singer who first sneered about my allegedly not authentic style but later she stole and copied it. And now she’s acting like I am the art project and she the true super artist. My God and people actually believe her, she’s successful! I shouldn’t continue ranting, it doesn’t get anywhere.
But now you have to tell us who you’re talking about.
Unfortunately I can’t, you know?
What else are you going to tell your children (and us)?
I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a guru. He surrounded himself with young girls and he had this insane charisma I couldn’t resist as well. So I was in this, I’ll call it sect, because I was longing for love and security. But then I found out that this guru wasn’t a good but a bad person. He thought that he had to break people first before he could build them up again. At the end I left the sect.
Crazy!
Yes, it looks like I would attract wild stories and extreme experiences. (laughs)
What else?
Our family has a long history concerning addictive behaviour. Even pure madness exists at our place. Like that I had a higher risk than other people for not being able to handle alcohol…
Had?
Yes, for ten years I haven't touched a drink - but I'd somehow really like to. After all it could be that now I’m able to handle alcohol better.
Why do you believe this?
Well, I threw anchors. But I have to find out how to harmonize the urge for – emotional and literal – solid ground beneath the feet with my ambition of moving on as an artist. Right now I have no plan how this should work out.
So no children for now?
I would be ready! (laughs) But Barrie is younger than me and he isn’t in the mood for children yet.
You worked as a model for H&M and Mulberry. Do you know what the fashion branch sees in you?
Phew, I don’t know! As an indie singer in New York I couldn’t afford any stylish or expensive clothes at all. Probably my face was just coincidentally at the right time at the right place. And how does the saying tell? Go there where it’s warm.
 
Hope there aren't too many mistakes in my translation. ^^

BROOKLYN BABY will be better than all three of them.

I literally just said this in a conversation on FB. While I love SOC, West Coast, UV (to a degree,) and what we've heard so far of Brooklyn Baby, I think Lana's getting these tracks out of the way because the other thirteen (including the bonus tracks,) are what's going to really define ULTRAVIOLENCE. Why else have we not heard her favorite track yet?
 
This album's going to fucking slay me, and if it doesn't slay anyone else in the end, fuck it, I'm still jammin'.

Yep i think too and im so excited for them.
 
Ultraviolence and West Coast are both really nice but i guess there will be even better songs on UV.
Im also not that much into Shades of Cool yet. But its slightly growing on me 

Crying tears of gold like le Monet.
Monet was a French painter.
 
Also, it probably is comprende mis white lines.

i hear "crying tears of gold like lemonade" lmao 

what if lana knows we have this thread and decided to fuck with us like always and while writing uv she said to herself these little bitches are obsessed with k and jim and my teacher lover and everything i do. i can probably blow inside a bottle and they'll buy it. so ill just name drop Jim and have him open up for me for a few shows and sit back and watch these bitches spiral out of control until they eventually lose it. Cause trust no one. 

I can't believe this is finally happening, the song of the year finally comes out tomorrow

I think it will sound like this:
 

You know it makes such a difference when an interviewer goes the extra mile to make the interviewee comfortable. 
The general ambiance of the discussion sounds really great, good job Laura Leishman!! 

She said Birds of a Feather!

The interviewer only posted the preview yet, you can find it here:




Description: Lana talks about her upcoming album Ultraviolence and her new tattoo prior to her not-so-secret gig that night. 
Update: Listen to the whole interview!
