I was randomly checking "Ultraviolence"'s producers on Spotify, then I cheked on TIDAL and on "Fucked My Way Up to the Top" EMILE HAYNIE is listed as a producer. Then I checked on the wiki and it's there, lol. Since when were you aware of this information?! I was today years old.

not sure if this deserves its own thread but here's blake talking about working with lana and a bit of ultraviolence era: https://www.guitarworld.com/features/blake-lee-lana-del-rey
Down the line, you played a big role in the writing and recording of Cruel World from Ultraviolence. How did that track come together?
"We were at Electric Lady Studios working on the Ultraviolence record – a dream come true and still one of the highlights of my life. I had recently bought a reverb pedal, and I showed it to Lana in the studio, and she was like, 'Oh, we need that.' There was magic in those studio walls, though, and when it came to the Cruel World riff, I plugged into the 100-watt Marshall that was there, and the riff just came out within 10 seconds.
"I was drawn to it, and Lana began freestyling over it. And luckily, everything was still hooked up to record as we'd been packing up. We ended up doing it in one or two takes, and then Dan Auerbach went on to produce that song. We also recorded Guns and Roses there and ended up recording Flipside back in L.A.."
Was your experience putting together Pretty When You Cry similar gear and inspiration-wise?
"With that one, I was trying to make the most of being at Electric Lady. So, I showed up earlier than Lana did with the engineer, Phil Joly. I wanted to play guitar in that big live room and enjoy the space. And while I was doing that, Lana walked in with a coffee, and she immediately heard something that I was doing, grabbed the microphone, and went into the control room.
"We jammed and recorded the structure, and the basis of Pretty When You Cry came together in one or two takes. Lana is a very prolific writer, and I've never really worked with anyone who does it the same and as effortlessly as she does."

Big Bad Wolf (demo version, the one that's 3:44). I've always loved this one, and I only just now realised it matches Dragonslayer as another Lana "fairytale" song.

Is This Happiness is my favorite song of all time.
I know it’s maybe a little repetitive & maybe on the simpler side for Lana
But it just does something for me
I feel like I never see/hear anyone talking about it. Selfishly I love that because it’s so special to me but it’s a crime that it’s an Apple exclusive. It’ll always be the true closing track to UV in my heart.

You’ll Never Walk Alone. It’s not her best but it certainly is a very good song to listen to in December

Yess, Change is a big favourite of mine!! I think the message of the song and the way she conveys her emotion about it is really special

Which Lana songs do you think deserve more love and recognition?
To start, I think that Change is a masterpiece that isn't talked about enough.

I partially agree with you. Both singers indeed sound nasal and similar when reaching higher notes - I remember listening to soda pop for the first time thinking it was a duet with xtina lol. But when singing “normal” vocals (neither too high nor too low), xtina’s voice continues to sound nasal, while Britney has this husky sexy dark voice. An example is here to stay or understand by xtina vs blur or he about to lose me by Britney. Xtinas examples are easier to find but britney’s true voice unfortunately appears rarely on her discography, as we know.

This is one of her most open songs, it gives us a look into her younger life that she doesn't often talk about anymore
