most people find the style she used in national anthem/ ride / tropico to be unsettling or over the top
 
and now Lana is more and more like most people 
 
she is moving towards the happy and simple. which isn't bad but it is distinct from her older stuff. mostly I think that Lana doesn't take things as seriously as she did when she was younger, when she was more idealistic and passionate about extreme artistic expression

I just found it super odd to think this is the same woman who delivered National Anthem\Ride\Tropico (hell, even Summertime Sadness and Born To Die) and then... well. iPhone Vintage App happened.
 
Things started to slow down by Ultraviolence (because West Coast is cute but there's nothing much going on and Shades Of Cool is ok. The title track... we just don't talk about that. Not after what she did with the original video which was probably going to be on her top3 with the ones mentioned above).
 
Is not that the videos are bad or anything but most of the time they're really boring now. I guess I kinda miss the storytelling instead of... just looking gorgeous. 

this is much more entertaining than fuck it i luv u / the greatest 

Do you know when something is so bad but so bad that it ends up being good? lol I don't know what it is, I can't explain...
But I like to see her smile!!! So... I think Lana ended up winning me in the end.
I like it!

December Fools

Lana to people who hate it
 

oh my God when she was sitting in front of the pool with the blue notes spilling out the back, i got chills. so beautiful! the NFR bit gave me a bit of Regina Spektor vibes (visual wise). i got super baked before watching this and it just put me at such ease wow

I LOVED the music video so much. I cried a little SO WHAT?

when was the last time we had a lana edited video?

Lmao this video is so funny. It's actually really nice, just them having fun. I love how she put all those flying things and the explosions in the video to add that futuristic touch. It ties into how the world is slowly falling apart, a sentiment strongly conveied in TG too. All the while she's just laughing and having fun, WTWWAWWKD comes to mind. 
The Norman part just works, Lana in her house and garden with her thoughts, the imagery was pretty too.
The HIAB part was kind of a hot mess tho lmao. I cringed big time the majority of that part

"Edited by LDR"
 

It should be good, if she is releasing poetry i'd have liked her to have hand written the poetry and released audio of her reading it since it seems more personal.
 
Also how many people are going to make those "people say you can't dance to Lana Del Rey" memes about this poetry lol

You know what i might do, i would kinda class her poetry as part of the NFR era so once the spoken word album is released i think it would be a good idea to add some of the poems as interludes in between the appropriet songs on NFR. Imagine it suddenly going from a 14 track album to a 20 - 25 track masterpiece with poems and instrumentals, wow

I Stan the first 2 parts. the nfr part was my favorite visuals of the whole era. I feel like I understand and appreciate bartender a million times more. happiness is a butterfly.... best song worst video, the injustice is sickening..
 
lana was acting so teenagery, it was so cute to see but kind of bizarre for some reason
 
if I was not a fan and I saw these videos, id think Lana Del Rey is a girl band of Lana and those two dancers...
 
I don't like how I have to actively look away from the  eyes of that one dancer (idk which is which) to enjoy it though
  also, incoming "Lana is so white privilege she's making videos about throwing food at cops and laughing, while dating one, when police brutality is...." I couldn't stop thinking about how lanaboards members were gonna be so pissed lol

What a positive comment...

A full album of Lanas poetry spoken by her in a couple weeks. I COULD CRY OF HAPPINESS

The Grammy Nom is good for Lana, but to me NFR's not my cup of tea.

her thoughts are priceless which is why it cost $1. Priceless=$1  logic goddess Lana ! 
 
its funny, but I love her sentiment. her thots ARE priceless. and she is donating to help people and giving a good and goodhearted message.
 
also, we get Lana poetry .. in Lanas voice... think music video monologues... think euphoric transcendental experience...
 
we won today !

that new music video clip. i'm sorry I don't want to be a hater but why the hell are those 2 girls getting screen time. it doesn't look good and its not interesting. does anyone like/care for them? if so id like to hear your perspective so maybe I can lean into it too...

I just realized I haven’t ever actually posted a picture of my Lana vinyls. I don’t collect anything else, so that’s my whole Lana collection. Anyway, here they are.
 

sounds like a lot of people here are interpreting "freestyle" to "ad libbing"... I could be wrong, but I understood her to mean freestyle as in "not conforming to a rhyme scheme"... letting her thoughts flow, but not made up on the spot.  we'll see.
 
I'd be fine if it was a cappella, but it'd be cool if there was some musical accompaniment. 

I'm expecting it to be how she read that poem that she posted with the feet-washing pic, basically.

i actually thought of this when she talked about "personal reparations" and wondered if this is her way of apologizing
