idk if it was Lana's influence, but I just ordered a bimonthly philosophical magazine.

She literally said that the album could sound like American Songbook, and Blue Skies would fit well into that genre, I even suspect that the song was originally intended for American Standards & Classics, so yes, the album could very well sound like that.

the way she went from American Standard & Classics to Country and now back to the original concept

oh wait, she said more in that NME interview? https://www.nme.com/news/music/lana-del-rey-interview-lasso-ivor-novellos-country-reading-leeds-3759161 "Are the lyrics of ‘Lasso’ inspired by that same sense of ease, fun and comfort she’s been talking about today? “Yes, I’d say so,” Del Rey offered. “I’ve maybe less to say in terms of any self-revealing things like on ‘Tunnel’ or ‘Blue Bannisters’ or ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’, and just more melodic. Maybe more American Songbook style?”"

She could have simply said: "I don't want to talk about it yet, but it's coming this year" but she was more like "country was a good idea at the time, but somehow things have changed now"

Honestly, this whole "the music business is going country, we're going country" thing was kind of strange because other big artists like Taylor or Billie didn't care and they're still topping the charts. Lana should just do her own thing and ignore what may or may not be trendy at the moment.

Lunch jumped to #1 on Spotify I think yesterday https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/regional-global-daily/latest

this was not a statement like "I'm going definitely country and the album is out in September" it was more like

My interpretation of the flying glass ship is that she wants to remain exceptional, to stand out from other musicians, but it could also mean that she wants to keep her freedom, that she doesn't want anything forced on her, but to be free to decide where and how she performs.

she has reached that ten-year mark of beating the extinction of telomeres

Lana will then be in the same club as Steven Tyler, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Sting, Pharell Williams, Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift. https://www.nmpa.org/nmpa-songwriter-icons/

their best ranked albums this year are by women https://www.albumoftheyear.org/ratings/1-pitchfork-highest-rated/2024/1 but I agree that their ratings are often out of line
