Could it be the guy who produced her 3-4 songs she recorded at Muscle shoals sound ?

'Americana' is not necessarily country music; a lot of the artists I like categorize themselves as Americana, which I love, but what passes for 'country' for the last 30 years is really country pop, and so lyrically repetitive and, to me, stupid, and I can't see Lana being attracted to country pop, except perhaps for one or two tongue-in-cheek songs like the ones she sang live a few years ago. 
 
It does sound as if something's coming soon. 

new LDR face = new era !  the N in DNC is on the way

I’m excited because with her calling the next album “Americana” (I personally think that means something different, she always referenced chemtrails as folk) and the fact that she’s working with another writer, it sounds like we might get something more cohesive and polished which I’ve personally been missing!

If  you can consider If You Lie Down With Me americana then I'm all in 

The photos serve so hard they are stunning
 
This was so unexpected and interesting to read
Can't believe the covers album is alive & breathing and as people mentioned it's super interesting that she collected covers over the last 7 years 
 
I'm so happy to read that she is in a happy place 
 
 
Thanks for educating us a bit about Americana. This sounds really interesting. Especially manifesting the jazz and blues vibes 
Also Lana always adds her own spin  and I gonna trust the process 
But what an interesting surprise today and she looks absolutely gorgeous 

Really great interview btw. She’s being quite vulnerable about how the effects of the criticism she’s received, and her own anxieties, reflect in her decisions around music and performance. 

I’m actually excited. Her foray into gospel with The Grants paid off. She’s incredibly talented, I’m not afraid of any direction she chooses to take.

“Lana Del Rey Forgives Us” got me bleary eyed  
 
I wish 2013 Lana could’ve seen this. She deserved the world 

Americana is a music genre that encompasses traditional music styles including folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel, singer-songwriter, and roots music.

The instrumentation of Americana music continues to be characterized by acoustic guitars, fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and harmonicas, as well as electric guitars and drums.

She better considers her Heartshaped Box cover too, we would finally get the studio version 

For the covers album I'm sure shes referring to covers recorded for Pacific Blue and AS&C. Barrie also slipped that she wanted to use Summer Wine so probably even super old covers like that one are in consideration. Makes me wonder if she'll even include Where The Boys Are and the rumored LA Woman covers...Why Don't You Do Right studio manifestation pleek 

Her vision of country has always been different than most. She considers Ride, Video Games and a few other of her popular songs as country-leaning or with country sensibilities.
 
I’m not a huge country fan myself but even her most country songs (namely the ones in Chemtrails) are amazing and done in a very uniquely Lana fashion. I’m not scared of her going Americana/Country at all. It’ll be special.

I think it's interesting how she doesn't think this album went viral, when it's her most acclaimed/streamed album since NFR.
She's funny like that. 

I don't think Americana necessarily means country; I would argue that BTD fits the theme perfectly. I wouldn't mind an album that had a sound similar to Ride.  We're talking about the woman that literally invented Americana (jk.. but not really actually). 

God, I love reading her thoughts. She always says things in a way that feel slightly cryptic, like she’s either keeping much of her thoughts to herself or simply because she’s still processing reality as she goes. Or both. I adore her.
 
Great interview and photoshoot. She’s definitely getting those Grammy noms.

!! What an exciting and unexpected thing to wake up to! Going to read now. Does anyone know how to purchase a single issue of this magazine? I only see how to purchase a full subscription x

Would love to know who this new writer is, manifest yourself 

Earlier in your career, you had a lot of invasions of privacy — a home intrusion, car thefts, a hack. Has that cooled down for you? 
 
No. My records get [leaked] five months before they come out. They have for 11 years. I really don’t understand. I’ve gone to every great length to double check everything, but the songs come out. Even if I don’t [digitally] have them. I don’t like it. This is a lot of work. You want things to go well for the album.
 
 
@111 yeah she clocked ur ass

idk about you guys but im already in full yee haw mode. can't wait! 

Do you ever look at or engage with platforms like Genius, where your lyrics are reprinted and interpreted? 
I don’t. And I’ve never corrected anything. In fact, not for years have I actually submitted my lyrics to anybody. Should they be out there, they’re not from me. I would never. Good God! I don’t even want to think about what I have to say. 
 
i am legit fuming

Yeah just edited my comment right before this because I thought people may have been referring to her Americana comment. Americana is not country music. Sure it may have some elements but it’s closer to folk. Basically what she was doing on some parts of COTCC. 

I think she's a bit full of it when she says that she doesn't edit herself or that she pays no mind to critics, because it's quite obvious that she's become more tame, both lyrically and sonically since she had her critical reassessment over NFR, and it kind of explains why she keeps going back to Jack as a producer. She contradicts herself, she contains multitudes.
 
Interesting interview nonetheless. 

Where did she say she was going country? Unless people are confusing americana with country music. 

I wonder what her definition of Americana is cause I can see her going a lot of different directions with that same term describing the record. It sounds like she's still in the early stages of it tho and we know how quickly she changes direction so we'll see...
 
She also mentioned she's working with a new person so that's exciting too
