Bella Hadid

It's definitely interesting hearing where she's coming from and the complex way she perceives things as an artist, especially during this current phase of not being able to reconcile with past criticism of her authenticity and bad experiences with journalists. It actually made a lot of sense when she said it didn't surprise her that critics loved NFR because there "wasn't anything not to like", which is kind of true. That tells me that she knew some of her earlier albums and the way she portrayed of herself would turn some people off as opposed to NFR which was a phenomenal but also very accessible version of Lana Del Rey. Maybe it bothers her that she can receive acclaim so easily by shying away from telling parts of her story that exist in more of a moral grey area like songs about an abusive relationship. I don't think she would have lashed out at Ann Powers (the only serious critic who had some genuine criticism of the album) or posted QFTC if she had come to some sort of resolution over that. I know a few people personally who have a hard time accepting success or approval once they get it because they still haven't reconciled with how isolated they felt before when they weren't being approved. Kind of a "you like me at my most palatable but can't handle the real me" mindset. It seems Lana is still searching for the balance in that.

if nothing happens we will have the bluest balls of the century 

the way lana is lounging on the beach not caring at all when the singles drop

good morning wildflowers I'm already feeling anxious af 

Lana is a chameleon so she is heavily influenced by the behavior of those around her, mike dean is wild, interactive and fun. 
All i'm sayin is... she better get her hands on that dope or ELSE

Downhill Lullaby was over 2 years ago 

was listening to NTMT yesterday, it's so fucking timeless. it's one of those albums that sounds like it could be released in the 90s or yesterday!

us when it's not catholic psychedelic synth folk

I definitely don't believe two albums are coming, now THAT is crazy talk. but I'm actually looking forward to this album immensely!!!! one for the records I am SURE of it. 

Just got my Chemtrails boxset in the mail after the era is over and 2 days after announcing her next album. Her promo is so consistent. Queen.

You know what? I wouldn't mind hearing some broadway/musical stuff from Lana. Something along the lines of Annie, Guys and Dolls and Moulin Rouge.
Also some Gershwin/Great American songbook stuff too like Over the Rainbow, Ol' Man River, My Favourite Things, You're the Cream in my Coffee etc - I mean Lana did so well with Summertime and Big Spender. I'd love for her to explore some more blues and jazz since her voice fits it perfectly 
 
What I love about old jazz is that there's this romantic grandeur about the sound of the orchestra playing together, and having a voice like Lana's over the top would be so beautiful. I can't stop thinking about all the possibilities if Lana switched up the genre from folk.

On my way to Serbia! See you tomorrow with BB and Dealer 

But it's all fun and games until a Serbian man gets a hold of the vinyls.
