Yeah, I really HATE how at only the 3rd performance of Ultraviolence, you can already barely hear her because the audience has to "sing" along super loud

The only things I think I can understand are "your heart ..." and "winter in the summer". I guess she is singing words, but it's more for the sound not the lyrics, so it's hard to understand.

plot twist: she'll sing FMWUTTT WC would be an obvious choice, but I think UV would be a good live track for a show.

I'm in love with Dan Heath's Orchestral Mix! I mean, of course it sounds more like the BtD era and in the first moment I though "hm, the violins sound a little bit forced on this one", but it grew on my and I really like it now. I love how her voice is in the main spotlight here, especially the "breathinG" you hear in the second chorus realy gives me goosebumps.

Well, that's why i said "would be" ^^ And don't call me disrespectful, I've got lots of social workers in my family, I know what the job is about and that it's not all fun and games. I just wanted to say that she's a good person and would have been qualified for this job tzoo if she wouldn't have become a singer. "Don't put labels on people" as you said so nicely.

Well that's what I was talking about ^^

Nothing to be sorry for, just wanted to say it as the account really looks legit in the first place

She's such a good person! I heard she once worked as a social worker. Guess if she wouldn't have made it to the singer we all love, she'd be a wonderful streetworker too!

It's not lanas official account and the snippet is the one from the promotional Itunes video

*puts a song on her record called "Fucked My Way Up To The Top"* You've got to love her!

The "german version" of UV on Amazon as a mp3 download. AutoRip means, that if you bought the physical cd on Amazon, you get the tracks for free as mp3 download, so you dont have to put them on your pc from the disc.

And the Crystals are from the early 60s, aren't they? (even though they aren't rock music) And I also have Courtney Love's Cover in mind when I think about the song, which is indeed something I would relate to the "retro-roots" of UV.

Judging from what she sings in "Boarding School" she may not want to talk about them ANd sometimes, as much as I admire lana, I think she doesn't really pay attention to what she's actually saying

Well, this one is definitly not a demo, but a radio version. And I don't think it lacks "fire" in any way ^^

UV doesn't seem to be retro in terms of the Marilyn Monroe/ Elvis era. For the thing she aims for, I it stil fits very well.

Except for Brooklyn Baby, which I am super-excited to hear, and which would be the only song I would listen to if UV leaked, I am going to listen to the CD from start to the end. However, since my copy doesn't include Is This happiness and Flipside, I will have to get them seperatly.

Well, it is a quote which is associated with the band often, and it can be assumed that she knows the song. But yeah, she always made references to "older music", this time she uses one quote.i would call it rather creative than lazy, it fits her retro-style

it's one line and it's not like she couldn't have come up with this herself, as if it was super-deep-poetry or something. So calling it lazy is really overreacting.

I don't know what the problem is, it's not as if she would only sing high-pitched in UV ... She still hits some deep notes. She has a different style on the record (would be boring otherway) but it's still Lana Del Rey. She didn't changed to Lizzy or May or some other alter-ego, she still does music in LDR style.

Well, even tough she can sing very high notes, I always feel like lana's voice has an overall deep sound, even when she uses her high/mid voice (eg. she sings very high in some Body Electric live performances, still she doesn't sound like a Birdy). I mean, during the WC/Shades of Cool/Ultraviolence verses her voice sounds deep too, comparable to Born To Die or Video Games. And i like that she keeps her style at least in some ways, I woulnd't like it if she began to sing like in her May Jailer - times again ... The only "different" kind of voice she uses 8and still uses) is the more girly-one, like in Lolita, Diet mountain Dew, Off To The Races and seemingly Brooklyn Baby.

I meant more light in terms of sound and not lyrics^^ Where can I find all of the Itunes descriptions? PS: Could this be a promo for Brooklyn Baby?

Brooklyn Baby is definitly going more into the DMD and Lolita direction in a way that it seems to be a more "light" and less dark song as well as it features her very "girly" way of singing. I really like it, although I am usually more into her darker songs. Almost thought that, but it was so tempting to say something about it ... pls forgive me

I think both producers did a good job, BtD was a good album and every track suited the style of it. UV is going into another direction, so it's produced in a different way. but i have to say, I'm not too happy with the mastering of some of the songs we've heard yet ...
