I would like to say -- obviously there is no comparison, but still -- Mar del Plata is like the "Los Angeles" of Argentina. It had its incredible golden age of cinema and theater, it used to be an elegant place where people would go to make it big, it's the "dream life" of many since it's the second most touristic city in the country (after Buenos Aires, of course) and it's a coastal city. Nights are particularly bright and beautiful, and the younger generations lean towards the artistic.
 
Not to ignore the fact that it became an unsafe place recently, and poverty increased.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Old photo; very NFR!
 

 
It's my favorite city.

this is so wholesome

I always find it fascinating when she sings about California. I think this distant, sunny state has a greater appeal here in cold Central Europe than on the East Coast of the USA, for example. Even when she sings about the beach or the sea. I only know both from occasional vacations, and they are beautiful places that you like to hear about.

I listen to i can fly whenever i’m on a plane

I’m midwest USA (never seen the ocean, I’m cold more than I’m hot, theres not a ton of action here) so I get what you mean (not as drastically I’m sure), its almost like viewing these places and other things she sings about as some sort of mythical heaven and I get more of a broad, longing, feeling telling me I’m missing out sometimes. I’m so curious how people from Los Angeles or whatever feel listening! I imagine its so personal and anthem-esque. To listen to NFR album going from Laurel Canyon to Venice Beach, or going down the PCH? To play Bel Air in your hometown Bel Air? To not dream about these places and weather and live it like… I’m melodramatic maybe that must add a different angle!

i’ve moved different states around the midwest and south in my adult life and i can firmly say that i learn something new about all of her songs when i live in different places 

Yes, living in the Southern hemisphere, Lana's albums are released in opposite seasons. Ultraviolence will therefore always be a mostly winter album for me, and Honeymoon a spring album. But that's also heavily impacted by me listening to them on repeat at the times they were released.
But when she sings about July, for example, I'm not going to think of our winters here because it's much more obvious in her lyrics. It's just an experience I don't have (July being summer, and therefore being a big celebratory time to be outside). so I don't really relate a lot of her lyrics to my own life, like all the locations she mentions too. It's just imaginary to me

Yes lived in a coastal town my entire life so I feel some connection to some of her beachy/water-y songs!

Lana didn't play a role at this year's Billboard Music Awards, which probably reduces her chances of winning a Grammy in the main categories

Let the Light In deserved to be a single, have a MV, acknowledged by Lana and nominated for Best Duo at the Grammys.
 
OHHHHH LET THE LIIIGHT IIIN

It’s a long title, so title. 
 
Like how Lana might mention May/ seasons. Or references heavily, primarily based in American imagery etc. 
 
Does living anywhere else than America, or possibly even more so if you’re in America, or just environmentally impact how you listen to Lana’s music? 

she also reposted the photos with what I think is a "collection of inspirations"

she mentionend the names (Gina) Lollobrigida, (?) Muti, (Sophie) Loren, (Claudia) Cardinale & (?) Shields , seems most of them are Italien

it was meant to be inspired by, not a direct recreation lol

Ah, I knew I saw a little bit of a 80s Brooke Shields influence in the hair! x

Claudia sweetie im so sorry for that terrible attempt of recreating your hair... my god
I wouldn't be surprised if they just changed the hair concept while doing it on set because it doesn't even look like it

This is definitely gonna be the new overused Lana Del Rey photo 

Behind the scenes

she’s absolutely unreal

Anna Cofone stated in her most recent Instagram caption that the shoot took place on October 23rd in Los Angeles. I’ve updated the OP & title to reflect this! x

The current artists that Lana listens to are never an inspiration for her music. She has always been inspired by classic artists and legends.
 
She will NEVER make "country music" as horrible as Morgan Wallen.
