Lana was really something new, special and something unique back in 2012/13/14. The big hair, the topics about sugar daddies, sadness, drugs (alcohol), her retro style, the sound of BTD, the honesty and darkness from UV... Looking live or music videos from this years are so good and unique and I really think that we never get this back. But Lana was there in another state of mind. She thought that she has to wear High Heels, big hair and make up on stage . In my opinion things changed around the Honeymoon era/ shortly after it. You can see that she feels more comfortable on stage and with herself. She has now a better or a more positive state of mind . And Lana gets older and she is a lot more comfortable with herself. We saw her in the last time a lot more without or with less make-up, she doesn't wear High Heels that often and she is still beautiful and for her it isn't that important to make big sounding songs like in BTD. NFR! is her most acoustic album since BTD. Maybe that seems a little bit bland for some people..And in she didn't give a fuck years ago. She made songs like Cola (My pussy taste like..),OTTR, Gods and Monsters(God's dead ..) ,the sarcastic FMWUTTT..and so on. I know she said "fresh out of fucks forever" in Venice Bitch (stream it!) but I think she cares at least a little bit what other would think about her lyrics. The most controvesial line on NFR ! is the Kanye West line in my opinion as well......The Lana from 2012 to 2014/15 was iconic and groundbreaking but Lana is now more mature and grown and more stripped down/ down to earth..do you know what I mean. Lyrically you can tell that it is still Lana on NFR! at least at some songs but soundwise she drifted away from the bigger sound her previous albums had. Maybe that's why it seems a little bit bland for some people. I also think that Lana get a little bit more mainstream (i'm not sure if thats the right word) in her acting like vaping, going to a questionable church, the political songs on LFL, holding her Iphone in her hand during a photoshoot. Currently it seems like she is kinda tired of touring but we all know Lana still is a hardworking woman in case of making music. She said she is on fire and won't stop and that makes me ecxited for her next album. Lana changed and to be honest sometimes I wish that she would act more like the "older Lana" but overall I'm glad that she is more comfortable with herself , in a better state of mind and that she has grown as an artist. In my opinion she changed a lot but it doesn't feel like a complete other person. There are still moments where I think that's so Lana (e.g scrapping a music video again )
I hope you know what I mean..
Edit: With this line" sometimes I wish that she would act more like the "older Lana" " I meant that I wish that she wouldn't be so "lazy" sometimes. She seems a little bit of tired of touing recently but she used to have a f*cking orchestra, the back track was'nt that loud years ago and it would be great if she would be able to do something like the Heartshaped Box Cover again. She belted even on the LATTMT sometimes and I watched some NFR! tour videos but in my opinion she looks a little bit tired except the Hollywood Bowl show. This show was pretty good!
