MUSIC TO WATCH BOYS TO PLEASE OMFGGGG, I NEED THAT TITLE PLS LANA

This thread is going to be 40 pages long before any real news even comes out

Rich with cheap taste

i reaaaaally want her to keep that title but i doubt she will, but i would love a 50's inspired album name and album cover as well 

I thought it might be useful to dedicate one thread to the early tidbits of info we are getting about Lana'a up-coming fourth studio album.

Here's what we have thus far:
 
Interview for The Fader:
I’m a big jazz aficionado. Hopefully my next foray will be into jazz. I feel like I’m getting there with songs like ‘Shades of Cool’ and ‘Cruel World’ and a cover of ‘The Other Woman’ by Nina Simone. I’m inching towards what I really love, which is kind of a Chet Baker, Nina Simone-inspired sound. It’s hard to get that sound because you need great jazz musicians.

Interviewer: You will record something tonight, do you know what it is, or right now?

Lana: I do, yeah I do. I have this idea for this record called "Music to Watch Boys To," so. Yeah, I'm just kind of thinking about that and what that would mean [laughs].

Interview for Galore Magazine:

Are you working on anything new?
Yeah, I just wrote two songs for Tim Burton and Harvey Weinstein’s film called Big Eyes and I’m working on a new record. I’m also always writing small pieces for independent films etc. Dan Heath and Rick Nowels are two of my dearest friends and producers and we are always up to something.

Interview for Grazia Magazine

What is your state of mind now?
I’m afraid this album will be forgotten. I’m always afraid good things will be forgotten, burried. Musically, I’m still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, a type of 50s vibe with a bit of soft grunge. Since march, I’ve been writing a lot of new songs, in a more conventional way -the verses, then the refrain, with a strong jazzy influence. I’m having a lot of fun with all of that. And next year, I’ll tour across the USA. I’ve been doing it only once before and I was really moved, especially in Detroit where I could feel the weight of its History. So, that’s why I decided I wanted to do it again, this time with my friend Courtney Love, for two months. My new album will come out after, maybe for late-august.
Did you writing style change for this next record?
My lyrics are very similar to me, who I truly am, but I must admit that I’m currently trying to do some new things. It’s a bit surrealist, full of colors. I feel much more inspired by people like Mark Ryden, Fellini or Picasso… Oh, I’m totally fond of this documentary: “Fellini : I’m a Born Liar”, which explains that the film-maker was in love with his hometown, and each of his movies is like one of its facets. I like his idea, the fact that truth should never impede to a beautiful lie… (she smiles)

You seem to like evoking the 50s imagery in your songs: the golden age of recording studios, ladies singing late at night with their big band…
Yeah, I love it. I love nightlife, the mood that comes from it. That’s why I wanted to meet Mark Ronson: I played him ten songs I just composed for this next album. Not so much that he added his usual signature, soul and funk, but rather it explores a sound close to the golden age of jazz. I wasn’t even born in the 50s but I feel like I was there. And when I still was living in New York, I was looking for this dream, maybe some other girls had the same, to live as a singer in a jazz club where I could sing some standards, but my own compositions too. I had a very ‘romantic’ vision of what a singer’s life should be. I daydreamed about tours in Europe, just like Chet Baker did, for example.

Billboard Magazine:
 
Lana Del Rey has nine songs written for her next album, titled Honeymoon -- four of which "the production is perfect; I'm looking for a few more songs to tie everything together" -- and thanks to her cinematic new song, she's also in the thick of awards season.
 
Does the Big Eyes song give us any indication of how the new album will sound?
It's very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise. I finished my last one [Ultraviolence] in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea. It's growing into something I really like. I'm kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It's been good.
You're still writing everything?
I'm doing a cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." After doing a cover of [Jessie Mae Robinson's] "The Other Woman," I like summarizing the record with a jazz song. I'm having fun with my interpretation.
I assume you're relying on the Nina Simone versions?
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "The Other Woman" are my favorites. I'm so so much [a fan].

Mark Ronson for Triple J:
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/media/s4174087.htm
 
Says that he rumors of his involvement with Honeymoon are an "internet thing," but says he has heard "beautiful tracks" and does not want to comment on anything before Lana does. However, he says that he has not worked on anything (yet?)

The Inquirer:
" I feel that the three records were so heavy and autobiographical. It’s been so cathartic. I like to use my previous work as a jump-off point to do something new. I’m ready to go into more of a ‘Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds’ surrealist place. That’s why I really do like what I heard about Fellini and all of the movies that were overdubbed and the actors were counting and not saying lines. I couldn’t believe that.

Inrockuptibles:
"Everybody has asked why I wanted to end Ultraviolence by a cover of The Other Woman by Nina Simone. Because she says everything, because I love jazz and may be because it could a door for what could be the next album."

Mark Ronson for Interview Magazine:
 
"Q-TIP: What are you doing in L.A.?
Mark RONSON: I'm going to do some recording with Lana Del Rey today and tomorrow. I found this cool old studio out here. 

Q-TIP: Are you producing? 

RONSON: I don't know. She has some songs and I said I had some demo ideas, and if they are any good, then maybe she'll like them and we'll go from there. "

I kind of... love this.

Lana Del Rey: officially too hardcore for Marilyn Manson

Yes, actually it does. 

None of these statements follow logically. It doesn't follow that because something is wrong it should not be depicted in art. That's absurd on its face. It also doesn't follow that someone's intention in doing something (or even their responsibility for doing something) can be ascertained by another's reaction to it. That's taking the whole "perception is reality" thing to absurd lengths. 
As others sarcastically suggested:

 
There's plenty of things in what little footage we've seen that suggest it might be problematic, but we just can't know for sure without more context. We don't have enough information yet.

put Lana in a B-horror movie already

Why was that scarier than this entire season of AHS

I can sing Lana's C U L8r Alligator pretty well

Also, that PopMatters #73 might look like a low position, but it comes with a rapturous write-up that ends with
 

B the critic darling you were always meant to be Lanz, not the popstar

This is kinda off-topic but I just found out that Video Games is the 3rd most acclaimed song of this decade (#138 all time)
 
Ultraviolence is so far the 10th most acclaimed album of this year
 

Big Eyes is really giving me life right now tbh

No Off to the Races for "Best Lyrics" 
No Angels Forever for "Best Production" 
No Summer Wine for "Best Cover" 
No Ride for "Most Overrated" 
 
Do you guys pick the Grammy noms too? 
 
Just kidding but really some of these noms are weird.   How is MDM polarizing or BJ romantic? Oh well gonna vote later after I've sat on the 20 songs.  

I actually really really like Catch And Release 

Not talking music wise, but should Lana dig into her past and explicitly/artistically reveal her eventful past in another form than musically/lyrically? Would you rather her write a book or the alleged Chuck documentary?
 
Not talking post-ultraviolence, just one before the other
 
I'd say book, with pictures, cause it would be more detailed and longer
 
Discuss

I can't believe that the big eyes/big lies thing is real...
The songs are heavenly. I can really see how Lana has entered the main character's mind. It's like a diary in song form.

I guess when she brings her tour here not only will i need to wear my Lana wig to the show but i will now have to carry a trumpet during her Big Eyes performance x

Who do you fuck with in the music business?
I fuck with Azealia Banks because I have the same artistic inclinations as her and the same taste in men.
 
Who do you most relate to in terms of your career right now?
Lil Kim
 
  SOOO gooodddd OMFG Lil Kim  
 
I think this is the best interview she ever gave. They should start to call people she knows and likes to interview her, maybe the next interview could be conducted by Azealia.
