From a 2018 interview article: Recalling the beginnings of his working relationship with Del Rey, Abbott stated it all came down to being in the right place at the right time: "The tour I was working on in the US ended rather abruptly due to a family illness," began Abbott. "To fill my now-open schedule, I ventured back home to the UK to help out a friend's band, who ended up supporting Guillemots. This led to me meeting their manager, Ed Millett, who subsequently partnered with Ben Mawson to manage a brand new female artist by the name of Lana Del Rey. I was introduced to Lana in the street outside Webster Hall in New York whilst loading a truck for Marina and the Diamonds," recalled Abbott. "Ed asked me to look after Lana's first European shows that autumn. I jumped straight onto a bus with Lana and, metaphorically speaking, have never left!"
 
Never left until now, that is x

she really said fuck you pete and wanted us all to know

Remember when she threw plates at pete for locking her up 

OMG - I have never laughed so much at one of her Instagram posts! Can't wait for her getting her own Tonight Show when she has enough of music!

Woah that extra paragraph was added like 10 min after she posted 

SHE EDITED THE POST LMAO

“Thank you guys. For fucking everything, Jack and John and Billie for showing up for me -and the band for just killing it and spending months in Sylmar in a 40° warehouse to the point but it was so cold that I caught laryngitis that literally left just a few hours before I hit the stage because Tessa DiPietro spent two hours lifting that cough remotely through her body intuitive skills just minutes before showtime, Wally Crowder for my bad as bikes. Every stunning dancer on stage, including my besties and Alex for her beautiful choreography. My stunning three singers who danced and sang their asses off in style and high matching boots. 
Emily for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager... Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though. No worries – 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves. Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you fucking killed it with grace. Thank you to my managers Ben and Ed for making me laugh the entire way through everything for my whole freaking life even though none of it ever makes any sense. PS please send me an email If you decide to quit this year- 15 years is a long time for us too☺️😝
Molly Dixon❤️ for those dresses, dolce and Gabbana for literally wrapping silk around my body for hours until I became a perfect shimmering swimming pool Etienne and Anna for somehow making my eyes change color on stage with witchy brush strokes of subtle peach make up and light old Hollywood hair, and Tracey Cunningham for changing my hair to the color of the desert like I wanted. And of course, Paul for inviting us.
it was fun. I’ll see you again real soon.”
 

I am literally obsessed with this girl you don't understand omg. Good Luck, Babe! genuinely one of the best, most refreshing pop songs I've heard recently.
 
I really hope with the future music she really leans into this Cyndi Lauper / 80s synthpop style that she's been giving recently from the Tiny Desk, GLB and Coachella. Like, her visuals are everything too. She really gives. She is the next big thing. Number one single for her is on my 2024 bingo card... 

I'm really hoping that synths take a backseat on this album, that is literally my one hope and prayer. She shines so much with real instrumentation. I need this album to sonically resemble Red, folklore and evermore. Her synth songs have started to lack depth for me... It's okay to play the guitar sis. 
 
Like when I imagine how Floridaaa!!! sounds in my head, I hear drums and guitar and claps and percussion!!!! not a synthesiser!!! pls deliver taylor!!!!
 
i also never posted my thoughts on the album cover but it feels very tame to me, the sepia tones etc i wish there was more contrast, more presence. but the tracklist cover is rather beautiful on all editions + the black dog cover is the best

omg I am listening to the podcast and Lana drove Courtney's daughter to Malibu everyday for 90 days when Courtney was detoxing? That is so fucking sweet of her. It baffles me that Courtney would diss her music now.
 
Also I'm laughing at Lana making her download Hinge

What a hit thread  let’s hope her comeback single pops off as much as this. Why are we still putting other women down in order to announce / promote YOUR output or contribution. Why can’t they ALL contribute Courtney???? Gee wiz for a punk rock chick you clearly lost the plot.
