She is forever his
 

Great interview! Makes me wanna go to LA right now and go to the beach and drive late at night.
 
I hope we get to hear the original Ultraviolence without Auerbach's production later on.
 
The 911 part though 

I'm already obsessed with Pretty When You Cry (which I think is my current favourite along with Florida Kilos), Money Power Glory, Old Money, The Other Woman, Guns and Roses and Florida Kilos. Love the sexy sound of Sad Girl too, and I'll need to hear more of Cruel World to decide on that one, although this is seriously all sounding amazing!

It's be fucked up but so is the idea if a cult leader breaking people down to build them up as Lana said he did?
And yeah it might just be that she likes the sound of the name but it's an interesting theory to consider at least

I really like the last answer she gave, because it kind of addresses the whole depression thing that seems to have also been bugging people. It's not an easy life she's living, you know? it comes with good and bad and the fact that she tries her best to stay grounded and "normal" is admirable.

FINALLY!
An interview where they actually talk about music!
I love her explanation of Ultraviolence (song) btw.
If only we could get a clearer translation of some parts of this:
 

So someone on Tumblr just gave me this. They said it's not perfect, so if anyone has a different translation, feel free to post it
(At some points it makes no sense, I know, but I think we all get the point of what she's saying; it's the usual Lana interview imo)
 

Lana Del Rey defends herself against accusations retort
 
The iconic American singer Lana Del Rey still annoyed by the doubt as to its authenticity, which emerged especially in critical circles after millions success of her debut album “Born to die”.
 
"I’m not a retort product," says the 27-year-old clear in an interview with culture news - and there is much more confident than they were during its debut in 2012, the one kulturnews Award which she received at that time as the best album of the year: "I feel for the first time during an interview not uncomfortable or in defense. “
 
The head wind that blew in her face at the time, has soured her success, as she says in the interview. "I thought it was even quite terrible," says the native New Yorker, "that I could not really enjoy it all."
 
Now Lana Del Rey gets a second chance: “Ultraviolence” will be released on June 13. (Jk / mw)
 
Lana, you moved from New York to Los Angeles. Are you going to a real west coast girl?
Lana del Rey: Let’s hope it! I like the culture and history of the west coast, especially California’s, very much. In my new video for the song “West Coast”, for example, working with my favorite tattoo artist Mark Mahoney, and I find the beach great. I am from Lake Placid, a ski resort in the mountains, near the east coast. If you come from there to the Pacific Ocean as the paradise of the end of the world feels.
 
You’ve worked yourself up within about three years from the unknown Pop-starlet one of the biggest stars in the world. Spazierst you on the beach and think: Wow, I’ve come damn far?
Del Rey: I think only in terms of my new, casual lifestyle, but not in terms of career. I have other things more important, and I raced not certain.
 
What makes you so sure?
Del Rey: I have a big family, I have not make sure to stay down to earth, that happens all by itself I am absolutely not an egotist. When I sing, logical, then it comes to me. But at home it’s still much more to Charlie and Caroline, and about what they want so. I make extremely sure that it goes well and they both get what they need to be happy.
 
Charlie and Caroline are your siblings?
Del Rey: My brother and my sister. We all live together under one roof. The two are 20 and 25, I fit a bit on it. With Barrie, my friend so we are four. I threw this anchor. The house, the relationship, all that I have longed very much as a kind of life, and now I have it. At the same time aiming my career, strive my plans rather away from this stable domestic situation. I must look like I’m the urge for - can bring solid ground under their feet with my ambition and my desire to move forward as an artist, in line - emotionally and literally. At the moment I have no idea how it all should work.
 
In the title song of your second album “Ultraviolence” you sing “I love you forever”. Is this a barrier song?
Del Rey: No, “Ultraviolence” look back on my time in New York. I was for a while part of a sloping underground scene, which was dominated by a guru. He believed in the concept, finished close people first and then rebuild. I fell for him because that time I longed for security.
 
"Ultraviolence" is a rather quiet, sometimes anthemic and very atmospheric work. The hip-hop elements of the first album “Born to die” missing.
Del Rey: That’s right. The big headline in “Ultraviolence” was “feeling”. The first album, it was due to the work with producer Emile Haynie, who is an old friend of mine that some songs as a 90-HipHop-Beat got.
 
How did that Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach produce the album?
Del Rey: While I was working on “Ultraviolence” already in the Electric Ladyland Studio with Rick Nowels, I met Dan by chance at a restaurant in New York. He was with a few friends on the way to a strip club, and I’m just called. So we all clean in the store. There was “Summertime Sadness”, and we began to dance together. Then we look at so on, laugh and say almost simultaneously: “Would it not very funny when we would go into the studio together” I liked to Dan that he was so spontaneous that he just enter “yes” said to me and my creative ideas and decisions. Six weeks later, the plate was ready.
 
"Born to die", your debut album was to revive the 60s. Which decade was the inspiration for the style to “Ultraviolence”?
Del Rey: Surely the 70s, from bands like the Eagles. But also a feeling of the early 90s comes to me, in the song “West Coast” you can hear the beat and the synth sounds of then clear out.
 
The people, as “Video Games” came out strong doubts about your authenticity, the authenticity of your music.
Del Rey: Oh God, yes … That was a huge issue.
 
Here you have developed despite all classical influences a unique musical language. One recognizes a Lana Del Rey song immediately.
Del Rey: Thanks, that means a lot to me when you say that. I’m not a retort product that I have to clarify again. My music had initially not easy because it was just not as typical and unmistakable attributable to a genre. I have had luck sure - but also a good nose.
 
You agree that you decided this controversy to you? No one claiming more that you’re a made drawing board product.
Del Rey: Possible, yes. You can not create lasting values ​​in pop music, if you have nothing to tell, or if you are merely a fleeting phenomenon. I already know for sure that I can later tell my children my whole life story through my songs. So I do not know if I won. But I know that today I feel for the first time during an interview not uncomfortable or on the defensive.
You start now to truly love your life and especially your career?
Del Rey: Yes. I found it myself quite terrible that I could not really enjoy it all. And I wanted it so much.
 
 
"Ultraviolence" appears in early June.

great interview

I just put the Black Beauty snippet and the demo version next to each other in Audacity, and they are definitely different. The album version will be faster.

Pretty When You Cry sounds very Cat Power-like, interesting
So my favorites for now are Pretty When You Cry, IFMWUTTT, MPG, TOW

Same. It's funny 'cause they were the songs I was most excited about when I read the titles.
 
Well, we only heard the first verse, which was stripped down in the demo and I think she wouldn't want to change that, since most of the songs from UV seem to have stripped back verses. The chorus will definitely be more Dan A. tbh. I mean, why would he get credit for it, if it was still the same instrumental?
:air:
 
Do we know the year that Old Money has been written? I suppose it has always been the "finalized" version of Methamphetamines.
Just like Coca Cola -> Television Heaven and Party Girl -> Us Against the World.
 
 
Well...
 
"What's happening? Where did we go?
The Jersey Shore was long ago."
- Methamphetamines
 
"Where have you been?
Where did you go?
Those summer nights
Seem long ago"
- Old Money
 
I mean that clearly is more than just a slight resemblance. Also the way she describes the scene "Red racing cars / Sunset in vine / The kids were young and pretty..." is very close to the way she does in Methamphetamines, which was a demo acapella, after all.

i think they'll all be slow then fast, like SOC or WC or BBY

[sings in Mermaid Motel voice]
maybe we could move this thread to the news section

"EB: You don’t feel you have a group of people in music who you necessarily connect to—a scene, let’s say, or a group of peers?
 
LDR: These people don’t actually care about music and art. They want to be cool.” I never met anyone who cared about music as deeply as me and my boyfriend, or who really cared about poetry—who really lived it and breathed it. I haven’t met anyone so far. I just can’t affiliate with those people."
 
She should meet me, I write poetry.

Those snippets are killing me... But it sounds like a cohesive album to me.

I think it's blonde, no? In a few younger pics I've seen, she seems to have blonde hair. So I'm gonna go ahead and say blonde.

I like that oldschool radio effect on her voice like in Hollywood's Dead, it's really interesting
Not listening to the original though, so it will be like a new Lana song when it comes out
 
(also, does anyone else get Cola teas from FMWTTP? It really reminds me of that song)

I'm not sure whether it's publicly registered anywhere, but it's definitely older, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's paperwork on it somewhere listing her as Lizzy Grant. That's why I'm not surprised to see it listed this way now that she's borrowing from it.

Ugh I'm trying to #riseabove the snippet life and you tell me Old Money is Methamphetamines?!?!?!

...which is why the issue of uncredited writers is so important to him.  

"Methamphetamines", not "Old Money".

Hello dear earthlings,
 
I have listened to the new song of Lana del Rey, called Brooklyn Baby. 
 
And you will be glad to know that my honorable and distinguished person appreciate it a lot.
 
Good job lana 
 
But I have to admit I still prefer Black Beauty  . 
 

Lyrically, I'd say this is the "off to the races" of the UV era. Sonically, it's unlike anything I've heard from Lana, I could imagine it as an AKA track.

This song has given me a new life meaning.
From the first listen I was hooked. The lyrics are the best from this album so far. The voice quality is great. It's so playfully cheeky, and doesn't feel like a forced, dangerous relationship. It's not even fully about a relationship. Barrie's vocals at the end. This song is just everything.
