sure, can put it around the sexism thing since I love all the other collabs. I think my reaction is outsized because it’s a small thing that I think if it were removed, it would’ve been perfect to me.

I don’t mean it to take autonomy away from Lana. I think it’s a poor decision on her part to do it, but it’s reflexive in me to not put the blame on her? I meant it more of a reflection of how other artists like Lorde do very similar things—inserting Jack into their songs as if it’s a flourish, but it just feels like he’s interrupting a woman’s music.

Hoping that reviews and feedback will encourage Lana to give trip-hop another chance Lana’s take on country music will probably be a reflection of classic country, which will always be there, I don’t think any artists today are doing their takes on that. But we are straying further from the possibility of a 60’s style, Motown-adjacent a la Thunder

Folklore/Evermore is good in the realm of pop, but in the realm of indie, it’s pretty pedestrian. I love The National, and Aaron Dessner did not go very far creatively to produce this album. Also, Cowboy Like Me, Miss Americana, The Last Great American Dynasty have lots of Lana lyrical influence

But there was so much filler...

yeah lana’s face is like a frog in that pic

I think so.

I want somebody like Paul Epworth (who produced Black Beauty) for LDR8... The fact that she still kept Rick Nowels in this album through Yosemite even though they probably didn’t have studio time together for this album...his power

It’s the first song as Lana Del Rey where she namechecks Lake Placid, thus demystifying her persona

It’s interesting to see Lana’s PR strategy move towards trade publications for that “positive press.” She pretty much outright says how her career focus is on her “artistry” I don’t blame her. I was recently looking through old album reviews, and she was a lightning rod for so many kinds of unearned criticism. But at times, I wonder what life would be like if Lana was embraced and on the cover of Elle whenever she had an album coming out.

My expectation is that she won’t be touring this album, and if she is, probably next year

I understand that Jack is one of the nicer men in music to work with, but I’m hoping that Lana realizes that 1) he’s not that great of a collaborator because he works with her direct contemporaries which then muddles her own discography 2) the fact that she couldn’t get more counsel out of him is not solely because of the pandemic. It’s because they were already heading towards a creative roadblock (this is my modern manifesto)
