the pronunciation is off, doesn't sound like lana at all tbh

I love the production on Zella's latest EP, can't wait for this. Ive been listening to Zella since i was 13/14 and Sweet Ophelia Came Out

omg yes that one is amazing too! tbh i forget which poems i like often, bc my iBooks audiobook doesnt have the names of the poems, just track numbers (and since its a locked file, I can't rename the tracks... ) 

i really suggest listening to Where Does the Devil Hide? 4/5 tracks are already out. Her last LP was also amazing (but very different sonically)--East of Eden has one of my favourite bridges ever (If I wanted to stay/You don't mind, you're a true believer)

4-5 more days until possible pre-order/cover reveal!(?)

NFR was the only Lana cover I instantly loved tbh 

I hope it's a Hotel California duet cover

Yesterday, Zella Day confirmed over an Instagram Live that a collaboration with Lana Del Rey is set to take place. 
It is unknown whether the song has been finished or if it is intended to be released on a project of Lana's or Zella's, as they are both due to release albums soon.
Lana and Zella have been good friends for three years, and Zella has opened for and performed with Lana on stage during her tours. They recently took a trip across the midwest together.
 
 

I totally agree! Never to Heaven is actually my favourite in the audiobook because I love her meditations on pondering the nature of existence and favouring “the magic of the nowness” instead. As someone who has also studied philosophy, I really do think that oftentimes, as fulfilling as existential consideration is, it can ultimately feel like we are leading ourselves nowhere and that’s what I love about Never to Heaven - she kind of examines this domestic bliss as a turn away from always questioning things. She truly is such a brilliant and independent thinker.

That one is very nice yes.
 
I see nobody talking about Quiet Waiter though... That might be my favorite, audio-wise, and definitely up there in terms of words. 

I really didn't notice how beautiful "Never to Heaven" was until I properly read the lyrics. There's something very profound about the lyrics "at least i won't have spent my life waiting / looking for God in the clouds of the dawn"...it's very Christopher Hitchens almost--in that he believed that not only did theism do no good to society, but was a waste of time and held humanity back. 
 
but maybe i'm just projecting my own feelings on to it (although, arguably, that's what poetry is for; to find yourself in side of it)

omg i just looked at the poll and i cant believe how few votes "Never to Heaven" got! Personally I think "Violet Bent Backwards Over Grass" and "Never to Heaven" are the best poems...with "Sportcruiser" being a close 3rd

Is it bad I'm kinda hoping she doesn't say anything?
 
Lana doing an actual surprise release will scalp me.

Mainly because, in general, we have forgotten how to separate the artist from the art..."critics" have been doing the same thing to any creator who also shares their private life with the world (via social media, mainly). Same thing happens to Madonna, MJ, Ann Wintour, Bella Hadid etc. etc. etc. Imagine if everyone in the planet had their work and professional life gauged by who they are/what they do in private, off hours--it would be absurd and outrageous. 
 
Any true "music critic" will allow themselves to focus only on the body of work when Lana releases, and not contextualize Chemtrails beyond the work itself. In my opinion, anyone who does drag Lana's personal life, beliefs, and work beyond her body of music; is more of a (n unsolicited) therapist than a music critic...

It’s sweet she promotes other artists but like...I follow lanadelrey because I want updates about Lana Del Rey, if I wanted Zella Day updates I would follow zelladay

the amount of mutuals in the comments thinking she posted a snippet of her Zella Day collab when its Zella's freshly released song I AM SOBBING

The problem is that critics will most certainly invoke the IG posts because it was through these posts that the new album was announced. Moreover, the ostensible reason for the original "problematic" post was related to the thematic content of the new material––unfortunately, even the most well-meaning critic will have hard time resisting the temptation to allude to the drama surrounding the announcement of the album (I can already see so well that opening sentence in a review of the album...). I think that if the album is solid, however, it might be the best way to definitively leave all the drama behind and move on, as in, "yes, she made a social media faux pas, but the new music is great, so let's all focus on that."
