"In a culture of self-help, she leans into self-destruction."

Revisited this record all the way through on a 4-hour drive. I think this is one of her more mature albums and I really remember vibing heavy to religion and 24. can't really get into art deco after all these years, though i still like it

vvvvv vv v ideo games?

Yea i don't think it's her she has necklace and earrings on

y'all i want to see your least favorites

because they're festivals and not accessible for most people- there will 100% be a site-wide collapse if/when she announces a tour

Oh my gosh this is so exciting

Taco Truck x VB is not really the vibe for me lmao I thought it was a bizarre ending

ty very much

Don't know where to post this but here is my candy necklace art I worked on this week: I draw Lana quite a bit but this time around I didn't use a specific reference. I came up with this concept:

this is so fucking fun omg

what are theyyy

Yeah. Starting off an album with "Look at you kids" was so as a high schooler

I really feel like this is why Lust For Life holds such a special place in my heart because she was really talking *to* her fans with this record

Earthquakes is not better than A&W.... I understand everybody hears different things but can we say this is objectively false

it's totally been in my head though all morning i've been going "aaaaeeeeyeaaaahhhh, aaaaaeeeeyeaaahhhhh"

A&W being the first track of her Spotify "This is LDR" playlist... as it should You are 100% valid in your opinion but I can guarantee you looking back on the pop icons of the 2010's and singer songwriters in general Lorde will not be as acclaimed as Lana

Lorde is fun to listen to but looking back she looks soooo bad saying allat. Her criticisms about Lana mean nothing in the long run. I'm not talking about streams or success really; I'm talking about the long-lasting legacy Lana will leave behind... and Lorde's lack of it. Lana changed pop culture and has cemented herself as one of the best singer-songwriters in American history. Ultraviolence is another sound that I wish she'd return to, I admit for nostalgic reasons, but I remember hearing it for the first time and having a moment with myself and thinking, "Music can sound like this???" I was youngggg but even ten years later I really haven't heard anything like UV. Cat Power's Moonpix maybe, but there's something about UV's psychedelic production, mixing, lyrics that really nothing can compare to. And quite frankly I don't even want to listen to an album and think "Oh wow, this sounds like Ultraviolence"–– it can stand alone and be its own thing. In terms of Ocean Boulevard, I don't really know why people are convinced that her lyrics and ideas are so different from how she started. I'm gonna have a hot take here (if you disagree pls don't flame me but I've been thinking about this for a while) I think Born To Die / Paradise is a collection of songs chronicling the epitome of naiveté and youth. Her music is NO LONGER NAIVE. She's wiser. I think this is why people claim she's being pretentious in her new music... when really, I think people want her to stay young and stupid forever especially in a society that celebrates youth. She has different priorities now, and even in her more mature age, she STILL sings about those similar ideas

She will not be able to top 21. "Hello" was a moment for the culture but that's about it.

This. To me, this explains why BTD is such a unique part of her discography. She never returned to the sound because it wasn't entirely 100% her choice. She approved it certainly, but I assume that production style pushed her out of her comfort zone and she never wanted to revisit that style. Edit: I hear a lot of AKA Lizzy Grant in Ocean Boulevard. So, I feel like she's come full circle and BTD was its own island of tracks.

BE NICE

Adele has been... kind of not it recently

I can really tell she was heavily influenced by Britney during the 2011-2013 era

"My curves, San Gabriel all day" is actually one of her best little vocal performances. And I know she agrees bc on the Jimmy Fallon live, she did the entire thing live EXCEPT this one part. Put the two side by side and listen Otherwise I agree she's off-key in many parts of the song
