    She's not gonna delay the album that's meant to be an apology for delaying her other album. If she does, then she owes us a third album as another apology.

    Well.. the light rose color is what sold me on it but if it comes the darker shade of pink I won’t mind too much I guess

    'Coachella-Woodstock in my mind' is the serve of the century.  All of y'all really slept on this one.

    WELL HELLO! 
     

     
    And welcome to the first edition of what I hope to be many DrUnK cOvErS brought to you by yours truly. What I enjoy about these visuals - aside from the tasty beverages - is that I don’t second guess the artistic direction. I just do what feels right. So without further ado, a retro take on American Standards and Classics:

    She looks so luscious and honestly looks like she's having so much fun. The talent really returned in full.
     
    and glad nothing controversial has happened recently so I can fully enjoy this

    Those are the original lyrics in the aria. While the song is a jazz 'standard', The Gershwin Estate actually still wields and exercises an extremely rigorous hold over the rights and performance of the song, which shouldn't/can't be changed without their express permission. It's much easier for artists to just adhere to Gershwin's original lyrics, so most covers include this line.
     
    For example - when Sublime used the opening melody of the song they wanted the lyrics to be "Doin' time, and the living's easy" - the request was denied and the use wasn't granted until they changed it back to "Summertime and the livings easy".
     
    You're correct however, the word "Mammy" has fallen out of contemporary use and is now considered offensive - it should not be used outside its original historical use.

    I'm glad I bought two bottles of wine earlier. I'll be swaying alone to this all night

    This is embarrassing I think but up until not that long ago, I though that old money started not with “Blue Hydrangea”
    ...
    but “Blue Eyed Angel”
     
    I mean it still kinda fits so whatever ??

    I could care less about the cover. Lana's voice will make the track shine. This is a standard that has been done a million times and the melody is perfect for her. This isn't some high school kid at a talent show. It's Lana Del Rey!!!!!

    Man Lana's Gatsby era was so amazing 
     
    I think it's one of my favourite things she's done. It was more than a single song contributed to a film, it became a whole central element, she was fully absorbed into a world where she would absolutely exist in herself. Everything was perfect

    Summertime has always been a fave song of mine. I'm so fucking boosted to hear Lana's rendition and for this full covers album ? if we're getting tracks like this and Patsy Cline, I'm 100% already sold. I'm kinda hoping we get an official physical release now. I'd love to have a covers album on vinyl ❤

    I just hope it’s transformed a bit. Covers when they just copy and paste the original arrangement are no better than karaoke, that’s why I have been skeptical of this album since it’s being put together so quickly.
