how are you guys feeling about europe for the summer making it into the final tracklist?

One thought that has been around my mind since the announcement is how this is both a Sophie album and a celebration of Sophie’s music. I kind of understand those fans that are kind of scared that sophie’s production might have been changed a bit in the process of completing this project… But I do think a lot that the people in charge of making these final decisions are precisely her family, friends, and close collaborators. People that actually took part in her personal life and creative evolution, people closely inspired by her and that, most probably, sophie was also inspired by them. People that Sophie loved and valued, and people that loved and valued Sophie - both in a personal and creative level -. For that reason, not only I support, but I’m actually moved by the idea of this album being 95% sophie, 5% Sophie’s loved ones. If small things have been changed, then so be it: those changes come from a place of love, celebration, and most importantly, respect, and for that reason I doubt anything major has been touched or reworked. This is not only sophie’s final album but also a celebration of her music and talent, brought to us by her loved ones, and I’m happy that this is the way that it has been chosen to be done.

when do you think cult classics / b2b will be released?

Jorge Elbrecht wrote on his insta caption that the picture was taken at Capitol Records Studio B

ok but which one was the original ugly cover she later changed?

I guess its more of a taste thing — when i click on Evil I wanna listen to Evil, not Amulet + Evil. When i listen to Nymphology I wanna listen to Nymphology, and then Amulet is a nice addie thing in between tracks that make me wanna keep listening. the same with Moon Cycle, whose sound intro is actually at the end of the contorsionist. When you click on moon cycle, the song starts right away (which is “good” for locals and playlisting and whatever), but if you listen to moon cycle in the context of the album you get to experience these small but consistent transitions

i dont care about locals tho, i care about my experience listening to the album and i can confirm my experience was definetly ✨enhanced✨ in fact I was thinking earlier about the interludes being actually included in songs and not marked as separate ones: while its not the most common choice, it definetly brings a different album experience, and it makes you wanna listen to the songs in full and enjoy those transitions instead of just… fading in and fading out and fading in and fading out. at the end the songs are not chopped up, just small transicional effects and ambiental sounds, and i dont think it actually gets in the way of the singles, for example

why tho transitions are kinda the best thing, makes you wanna listen the album start to finish which is what you’re supposed to do. if you like to listen to songs on shuffle yeah i kinda get that its annoying to hear sounds, altough minimal, cut abruptly, but its not like the album its chopping songs in half (like the kelela one)

grils and gays shes coming

the level of delulu on lanaboards is truly astonishing .... how would sky even know the existence of this thread in a lana del rey forum... and why would she actively check this out... like if she wanted to lurk she would probably go to idk her page on reddit or maybe search for her name on twitter but c'mon

UP FIRST IS #guardian (summer 2015)

ok hear me out again….. downhill lullaby + dont forget + descending triple mv just came across an old video on her insta page where she promised (and shes using the word promise) the music video saying that its “on its way”
