I don't know how far the work on the album has progressed, but winning or not winning a Grammy could have a big impact on the direction (and if not of this album then of the next one)

an article writing "Del Ray" cannot be taken seriously

There are her cryptic posts again, which could mean anything or nothing. I love it.

At least we know that Lana and Abel are still in contact. I think it was mentioned in the Harper's Bazaar interview video.

as if she were the first artist ever to be late for their performance

she has really blossomed this year

I only saw Avatar 2 and John Wick 4 this year, but I didn't really like either of them.

the fact that scrapped SYTH would be the third most streamed song from the album on Spotify, and that not even after a year

My feeling is that Born To Die and Ultraviolence were more a product of the music industry and not Lana's actual vision (which was included, but ultimately the labels decided a lot of things, especially in terms of production). There are many, many good (and better) songs that didn't make it onto these albums. But in the end these two albums have contributed a lot to Lana's popularity and are an important source of income. I guess Honeymoon was the first album where Lana was able to make more of her own decisions and shape it according to her own ideas. Nevertheless, Fantano's reviews were way off the mark and too harsh.

all UV outtakes belong on an extra album

Ok, songs like Take Me Home are nice, but what's the challenge? Everything seems more routine lately. She has to push her limits again and show us what she is really capable of.

I like that Lana is always trying something new, unexpected
