^^ I do love "Florida Kilos." It is one of the tracks I have been playing religiously. It gives me sleazy coke whore tease as it speaks to the summer season.

Loving UV from top to bottom. But Cruel World, Sad Girl, Pretty When You Cry, West Coast, Black Beauty, The Other Woman and the title track are killing me softly.
I love this woman. Flawless singing, heavenly nostalgic melodies.
 
Best music from the last 10 years, hands down!
 
Black Beauty is on and tears are rolling down...

I think Lana is spiritually sensitive. She is probably a medium. I am an universalist spiritist and sorta get some pretty highly spiritual vibes from her like she is constantly channeling stuff.

She's also made a point to stand up for Lana in the press since Day One.
 
From 2012, Vanity Fair:
 
SM: I’m looking at what’s happened with Lana Del Rey, and I feel sympathy for her. That kind of venom is what I attracted when we first came out. Everyone called me a fake even though I’d been in bands for a decade—everybody was really on our back. We weren’t “real,” whatever that fucking meant.
What’s the driving force behind the Lana backlash? Is it just because she’s good looking?
SM: She’s beautiful. She’s really talented. She’s the real deal, and I think that’s threatening to people. She clearly has an aesthetic and clearly has worked hard before she got to this point in her career. She has a past? God forbid, they lambasted her for having a musical past. It’s good she’s failed and she had the wherewithal to try again. Shouldn’t we be applauding her for that?

This album sounds very much like Garbage. Not so much the vocals, only sometimes, but the production is very much like a Garbage ballad or slow song(West Coast and Ultraviolence), more so from the Bleed Like Me album.

At first I found her vocals in Pretty When You Cry to be really badly done, but after a second listen I realized that maybe it was meant to sound raw and broken like that. And now I love the vulnerability. I don't know why Sad Girl is sort of underrated so far (at least from what I've observed) It's one of my favorites from her. 

imagine  the plottwist ....

I take back what I said before; I hope Lana gets an older man so I can stare off into the distance at inappropriate times and think about what their sex life is like on occasion (something I never even WANTED to do with Barrie, bless his heart)

Probably explains why Barrie's been MIA with his music, too; he was so enthusiastic with sharing his music and now he hasn't updated his page in a month. I'm feeling for both of them. Sounds like this has all been going on for a while. Hope Barrie can jump back on the horse soon, and I hope Lana's in a good place.
 

Because now she belongs to us and no one else

i'm telling you this bitch feels nothing but undercurrents of abstract emotion every now and then, and everything else is ruled by her head 
 
i think there has to be some kind of inverse relationship with emotionality and incisive eloquence in communication. she's so good at articulating herself, but most of that is an intellectual process. i think she's confusing because there's such a vast disconnect between what she feels and what she thinks, whereas with most people, the two processes are more intertwined (rather than paradoxical) 
 
a lot of elements probably factor into the outcome of the interview too. how her day is going, the vibe of the interviewer, whether she feels more emotional or more numb, etc on that particular day. maybe her connection with god is more spiritual (abstract) but detached (mentally); and on this particular day she decided to share her more rational perspective on the matter? who knows with her bipolar ass 

"me and god we don't get along" 
 
i.e i acknowledge my relationship with him; he's a part of my existence, but i don't necessarily have the ~healthiest connection with him at every moment of my life? he looms over, and i feel him with me, but i don't do his bidding or impose his beliefs on myself or on others 
 
she seems like she would be buddhist tbh  

My mother told me I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing due north
No fixed personality 
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide & as wavering as the ocean

New interview and I already translated it for you.

TRANSLATION:
 
 
 
 
 
I found two other short "interviews" with dpa. I'm not sure if they belong to the one I already posted but as all of them took place in Berlin and were made by dpa I guess that it's actually one interview and those questions that I've found now are just outtakes or idk.
I translated them for you too but I did it very quickly so there might be some tiny mistakes in it.  (Translation in spoilers)
 
Here's the first one where she talkes about past eras. Source
 
 
 
And the other one (about soccer/ football and a bullfight). Source
 
 

Her grandmother.

But seriously (and late in the discussion), I am enjoying reading the fame vs Art debate. You all are very articulate and knowing.
If I may offer a biased opinion, I tend to believe that, at times Lana seems to pursue the epicurean ideal ("just an ordinary girl", "opulence is the end", simple things in life) but she also displays a decadent imagery...
I would dare to say the lady contradicts herself and might be aware of that.
 
As O. Wilde once wrote: "The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves."
I quite like that!

You reminded me of how one girl on tumblr has said that Hunger Games are an awful book, because Katniss is "bitchy" (aka, has opinions and personal feelings, like slams professional tributes instead feeling sorry for them).
I don't want to live in an age when art has to only tell uplifting stories about cookie-cutter perfect people. Gross.

I don't like that romanticism around their prematured deaths. Artists are more useful alive than dead. -Lana in Les Inrockuptibles 

Lana is an artist... She's allowed to glamorize whatever she wants to. People disagreeing with it is just part of begin an artist..... Even if it isn't healthy neither what some things performance artists do are exactly 'healthy'...
