THANK YOU UK ONCE AGAIN 

So happy I snagged this one, I now have 4 coloured pressings of Lana (UO honeymoon, pink nfr and mint ocean Blvd soon to be uv) and uv is my fav Lana album ever. Though I feel like this trend with putting vinyl up for sale with a release date months away even when the album is already out is so annoying. With the resurgence of vinyl I’d think that more pressing plants would open or they would just order ahead and announce it when they are already available.
 
 
just waiting for this now Lana bby… burning desire and heart shaped box studio version would be great additions as well xoxo 💋💋

Sure it’s sad that Barbie Girl song got scrapped but Charli having a song called “Speed Drive” that’s played during the Barbie car chase scene was the way god intended it. I wouldn’t have it any other way truly.

4 3 2 1 c u later
crazy girl shit gonna go spring breakers !

 

Finally listening to my long awaited True Romance vinyl 

 

so far the only one who really nailed this 2000s revival punk pop rock sound without being cringe overload which quite honestly is a hell of an accomplishment!

NFR lime green cover design is so ugly

Lana really needs to add text notifications to stock on her website… it would’ve come in handy yesterday 
 
 
edit- I’m a hung over and moody gay today… gonna subject my office to listening to UV over and over in an attempt to summon a restock. I hope HR likes Florida Kilos and FMWUttT as much as I do 🤡🤡🤡

randomly
checking this thread
to see if there is a restock 
because 
hope is a dangerous thing

She left us with the Happiness is a Butterfly reference and the quote:
"Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."
 
Maybe this is why she's leaving Instagram, to be less focused on public appearance, and turn her attention to other things to seek out that happiness 
 
Also the oceanblvd account and the accounts her backup singers and dancers made make so much sense now...plus there's the account Chuck and Charlie made too...I have a feeling all of these are meant to replace the Honeymoon account in some way

Two new products added to her official shop, could be the necklace.

Manifesting a 7" SYTH vinyl and the coke necklace

she's here and she's fucking beautiful.... 

I'm over people acting like it's a bad, or juvenile, thing to want Lana to go back to a more bombastic sound à la Born to Die or Ultraviolence, when the past four albums were mostly (not all) piano ballads and understated, mellow, folk-esque songs.
 
Also, her bombastic/world building and quick witted or however one might categorize the songwriting on her pre-NFR tunes >>>>> the singer-songwriter, vagabond poet, trauma dumpingpersonal, stream of consciousness songwriting.
And I'm not saying the latter is bad or unintersting, but if I had to chose, I'd go with the former. 

I think her old songwriting (2018 and before) is far better than her current songwriting and it's somewhat frustrating that people are lauding her as a songwriting genius for her current work because honestly shit like BTD, UV and Honeymoon were actual fucking genius whereas I feel like a lot of the current diary-entry lyrics and automatic writing or whatever could be written by pretty much anyone and is only interesting because of the vivid world she created throughout the previous eras mentioned so people place it in that context and act like it's genius when to me it's more like margin notes
 

Breaking my silence simply to say, all you 16 year olds will never understand the impact of Lana’s artistry in early 2010s, before you were even in grade school. The only “problematic” thing about the Ride video and Lana’s early career in general is the headdress thing, but everything else, she was a nearly 30 year old woman perfectly capable of making her own decisions and she had a very strong vision for her art, which everyone absolutely ate up at the time. Obviously Lana still has insane impact, but it was different and a different kind of it 10+ years ago. She was just putting her truth into her music and visuals, while obviously slightly embellishing things in the name of creating an immersive world, just because something from over a decade ago makes you uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean any of your criticism of it is valid. Lana Del Rey wouldn’t be Lana Del Rey without the artist she was back then, and you sound exactly like what the gross journalists sounded like back then. The boomerfication of Gen Z and weird rise in purity culture is so real, no high school aged people should be speaking on how Lana approached her career before they could count to 100 unless they’ve made a conscious effort to understand her. If “grotesque” art from grown ass women bothers you then i don’t think Lana is the artist for you

I'm critical of Jack Antonoff, but I don't "hate" Jack Antonoff as a producer for Lana. I have issues with the execution at times, but I'm also a sucker for the NFR title track, Venice Bitch, White Dress, A&W, Grandfather, etc. However, I do think it's time for something new--regardless of the fact that he is a talented and versatile musician and how comfortable and chill she feels with him in the studio, we've heard the range and dare I say the limitations regarding his input to her music.
 
I think as an artist she'd do herself a service by getting out of her comfort zone. Like, not for nothing, the songs that actually left me shook and/or that truly felt impactful, besides A&W, were there non-Jack produced tracks: The Grants, Candy Necklace, Fingertips and Let The Light In.

i think its hawt 

isn't it supposed to be uncomfortable though? 

fishtail is one of lana’s best songs, taco truck x vb is a work of art, kintsugi is not as good as people hype it up to be 

Fine China >>>>> Yes To Heaven

this is so old lol but i was just randomly thinking about it, and i 100% believe that Serial Killer should have been on BTD, that song doesn't feel like an unreleased, it feels like a song that was left out by mistake idk how to explain it but in my heart that song deserved a spot on the album

Not necessarily unpopular but A&W being two songs in one is what makes it so good, genuinely don't understand people who say it should've been separate songs 

I really dislike this picture...
