Swan Song

So I'm guessing we aren't going to get to hear about anything from this show? because it's basically a private show for the rich. 

Nice little blurb in this month's Rolling Stone.
 

Lana Del Rey is performing at South by Southwest this year. The singer-songwriter will take the stage at the Apple Music space on 612 W 4th Street in Austin tomorrow night, March 17, at 8 p.m.

what

How exactly does Lana succeed though? Everyone always wants Lana to be this "musical icon" but how can you become an icon when no one even knows your songs. I know people who enjoy Lana's music and listen to UV and BTD and some of them didn't even know about HM until i told them that she released another record... 
Also

Alia Penner also worked for Father Jonh Misty
Since Lana is in her hippie grunge mood nowadays, its likely
If she's really working with her, I would love a collage like Love single cover but a bit diff
something like this:
 
 
 

We have decided to unstan

When tf is she coming back out from ha cave she's boring me to death and I'm already dead
 
I'm trynna avoid listening to love because I feel like I'm going to get bored of it quick and I want to listen to it w the context of the album

So basically in my spare time I like to make Lana Del Rey album art.

Here's some of my work below:

LUST FOR LIFE CONCEPT ART - 21st MAY
 


Edit: Deleted a lot of my edits on here because they were messy.

 

Fun fact-- at a bar near me, the only lana song they have for karaoke is west coast which really surprised me i was expecting summertime sadness remix. lol i sang it and everyone looked really confused

Yall complaining about the title "Architecture"
How would you feel if the album was titled "Cool As Heck"

OK SO SOUNDCLOUD IS TELLING ME ITS BAR OMG
 
"Hi LDR,
 
It looks like your track
 
"Architecture"
 
might contain or be a copy of "Best American Record" by Lana Del Rey, which is owned by owned by Universal in certain territories.
 
As a result, your track has been removed from your profile for the time being."
 
"Our content identification system detected that your upload matches:
 
“Best American Record”
by Lana Del Rey"

yeah a 31 year old woman whos been in the music industry since 2005 would name her possibly-last-album after some 16 year old twink who leaked her songs for attention on a forum. am i right or am i right

imo "All For Fame" would've been a perfect name for the song

perdono senora.
 
but it IS such a horrible title. Like, ppl on here think that only folks who are able to express themselves in English buy Lana'a records.
 
 
2 situations between two friends.
 
First one
 
Friend one: hey, what music have you bought recently?
Friend two: Lana Del Ray
Friend one: What is called?
Friend two: Best American Record.
Friend one: Wow, cool. Let me  check it out on Spotify later.
 
Situation two.
 
Friend one: Hey, what music have you bought recently?
Friend two: Lana Del Ray
Friend one: What is it called?
Friend two: Arschitechtur
Friend one: Okay, well...something else?

no i will never accept Architecture as a title
wtf are we in technical drawing class i think the fuck not
i already accepted Love as a title and that was hard enough i will not accept ARCHITECTURE
inb4 she cut out the pre-chorus and that's why the final version is 2 minutes shorter and it's not called BAR any longer

i know its off-topic but i wanted to say that i love this dress she's wearing

Mod note: Everyone just scroll past this lie

Have y'all seen this? It's a big image, beware.
 
 
 

Lana Del Rey Best Of

2. Ultraviolence 4:12

3. Shades Of Cool 5:42

4. Brooklyn Baby 5:52

5. West Coast 4:17

10. Old Money 4:29

11. The Other Woman 2:58

 

 

It looks like her old playlist from 2012 with the addition of Love. Ben is trying, Im shaken, king of online promo

That Spotify playlist Lana created is a mess. How can a Best of LDR album not include West Coast, Shades of Cool, Brooklyn Baby, Pretty When You Cry, Music To Watch Boys To, Salvatore and so on??? I mean, at least a few UV and HM songs deserved to be in that mix!
 
 
Also, WTF are Lucky Ones, Carmen and Radio doing in there?? I doubt anybody on this site would honestly say they are considered her best songs at all.  lmao    

To be honest, "Fame" & "All For Fame" sound ugly.
Not only that but the word fame in itself feels overused & her calling it either one of those would feel cliche. BAR as the title is perfect in my opinion it's not repeated so many times in the song & it sounds fresh & at the same time it's quintessentially Lana. It has that Americana reference & it has the sass of the BTD era, it's perfect. With just hearing it you'd think she's cocky but, within the context of the song it adds a flare of brilliance to it. That's what I feel & think at least.

Sorry but fuck Gaga, Bowie had a song called Fame decades prior. Other than gay bottoms no ones gonna see a song called Fame from Lana and think of Gaga.

Charlie Hinds says Lana Del Rey called him in asshole in the first episode of Drag Race. Promo!

Chuck and Neil are so overexposed lately that's my biggest issue with them. Neil did some nice work for ultraviolence but then there were about 3 different magazine photoshoots that all looked as if they were part of the same session because Neil and Lana didn't really switch anything up except for the locations. Chucks work lately is a bit uninspired, her NA photos are cute and she did nice covers for ride and hbtb (which ended up being better than the whole hm session). hm was a cute concept but the way they used the photos was bad also her hair looked ridiculously awful it's like a cheap synthetic dollar store wig and not just because of the bangs.
