Please! I don't know if we're allowed to request links for live shows, but if anyone has it... I'm dying to watch it again 🖤 Yesterday's show was amazing. I watched it till the end, and I can't believe it. The stage, the intro/outro, the pole dancing, the motorcycles. Jon Batiste's performance was the best.

LOVE that Florence is involved in this project, she deserves to shine even brighter. I pray it's less poppier than Midnights.

Dude, I'm on the verge of tears, I know they're snubbing her again and it makes me so sad. She paved the way for people who are winning Grammys before her. It's fucked up.

Love the name. I was manifesting a one world title. "Lasso". A title with one word feels impactful and easy to remember. We haven't had one since "Honeymoon" I think. I hope "Prettiest Girl in Country Music" is included. I love that song. Manifesting a country/americana vibe like Juanita Stein (she sounds a lot like Lana):

It would be such a pivotal, full circle moment for her to perform "Ocean Blvd" title track at the Grammys after years of declining any live performances. Either she wins or loses, her singing in front of the audience would be iconic. Band + backup singers + outro included. Not happening tho, but bro, the power that idea has.

Bro really thinks Kanye decided to release his album the same day of his band only to sabotage him? I wish I had his confidence. Jack keeps dissing Kanye but I don't think Ye has ever aknowledged Jack's existence? It's very one-sided. Yes, Kanye is a horrible person with even worse ideologies, but Jack looks a bit delusional. Regardless, back on topic, what a great lineup of artist he managed to get on board for this project. Looking forward for Lana's cover of "Blue Skies". I love how many "blue" songs she has so far, lol: Blue Jeans Blue Velvet Blue Banisters Blue Skies

Not the discount code resembling an acronym of a song title nn

bro, "Let the Light In" is smashing. I wonder if her team is AWARE. The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has.

I loved "Haunted House" and "Moderation". Amazing songs, I'm glad they got a stand along release instead of staying unreleased 🖤

It's so refreshing listening to her on a song that features acoustic guitar instead of piano We need to know what is this, lol. A random stand alone single, a collab, the lead for LDR10?

What if Lana had planned a beautiful collage like video for "The Grants" with that stolen family footage with sweet and personal shots of the whole Grants family (sans Patricia)...

This exact same thing happened to me. I keep coming back to this album. You wouldn't think that, considering the album is long, dense and complex. But the replay value as a listening experience is insane to me.

We should definitely make this canon for the album's anniversary. A whole year later can change our perspective A LOT. Celebrate its anniversary in some way, this album is such a career highlight.

I would love to know what was that writer thinking when they decided to describe "Candy Necklace" as glitch-pop in that review

"Kintsugi" is definitely winning "Best Dance/Electronic Recording". "Sweet" has the "Best Metal Performance" on the bag. Mark my words.

The "FMWUTTT" thing it's kind of messed up, if you think about it. Like, professionally speaking, if you work on a project but then it randomly credits somebody else I think we'd all be like: But in the best of cases it was only a printing error. And Lana definitely had nothing to do with it. Shit happens! And both Emile Haynie and Dan worked again with her so I doubt they're mad (though, I would be a bit pissed off with the person in charge, lol). But it's not like the GP cares enough but us audiofreaks and Lana stans, lol. But for me, at least, it's also wild, like you said. Almost ten years thinking Emile had nothing to do with the "Ultraviolence" album (besides introducing Lana to Dan Auerbach), yet we were wrong (!!!). And about "Living Legend", sure thing! I still haven't answered his message (lmao, not me, a random nobody ghosting Daniel fucking Heath). But I'll answer the message I took a screenshot of and I'll let you know if he answers! [let us cross fingers].

Do you think we'll get a "Ultraviolence: 10th Year Anniversary" reissue this year? I have zero hopes considering she didn't do shit for "Born to Die" (her most mainstream album; it would have made more sense). But, this record is also one of her defining moments in her career (next to "NFR!" and more recently "Ocean Blvd)". It's such a milestone in her story. Not aknowledging it would be such a missed opportunity. Maybe she doesn't like deluxe/re-editions anymore. Considering she scrapped the alleged "Lust for Life" post-release EP. Perhaps she didn't think it was necessary to do a 10th year "Born to Die" edition considering it has gotten enough recognition? But can you all imagine, "Ultraviolence" (10th Anniversary Edition). What a concept. The perfect opportunity to finally release "Flipside" and "Is This Happiness" (and scrapped songs on streaming services). Maybe even a brand new cover with a Neil Krug never-seen-before picture, brand new vinyls variants, all the good stuff. CD1 01. Cruel World 02. Ultraviolence 03. Shades of Cool 04. Brooklyn Baby 05. West Coast 06. Sad Girl 07. Pretty When You Cry 08. Money Power Glory 09. Fucked My Way Up to the Top 10. Old Money 11. The Other Woman 12. Black Beauty 13. Guns and Roses 14. Florida Kilos 15. Is This Happiness [finally released worldwide as a bonus track + streaming services] 16. Flipside [finally released worldwide as a bonus track + streaming services] CD2 (*) 01. Say Yes to Heaven (**) 02. Fine China 03. Your Girl 04. Angels Forever 05. Pink Champagne 06. Dragonslayer 07. Cult Leader 08. Elvis [Rumored final version] 09. Lake Placid 10. Madly 11. Earthquakes [Final version] 12. Driving in Cars With Boys [2014 Version] 13. I Talk to Jesus [Dan Auerbach version] (*) — I threw the bunch of outtakes from that era in no specific order, so pardon the disjointed tracklist. I didn't know if it'd be a good idea to add the bonus songs right after the main album. It looks kind of cluttered, so I thought that maybe a second CD would be better, especially for vinyl releases and stuff. (**) — I know "Say Yes to Heaven" was released as a stand-along single, but her team considers it part of that era, since the 7" Picture Disc vinyl used a Neil Krug photo from that era + adding "Black Beauty" as a b-side. Conclusion: Fan fiction and delusional thinking aside, I don't think she'd do anything, I bet it must probably take a lot of work, but considering she most likely won't release an album in 2024, maybe the "Ultraviolence" reissue album wouldn't be a bad idea. At least she could release it as a digital-only edition on streaming services, which is what some of her peers have done for their 10th anniversary re-releases.

On that recent Jack interview, he said something about his work ethic with Lana was getting crazier and loonier with time (as in experimenting). I don't know how that would translate with Lana's desire to go for an Americana-esque simpler/less dense route. But I'm sure they'll find a middle ground. I hope she works with new people, but I get the sense that she's the type of person who low-key struggles (or simply doesn't like) working with new people and once she finds her comfort collaborators she sticks with them (i.e. Rick Nowels).

hey! This is probably one of the most interesting threads, congrats. I bet it must have taken a while to gather all the info. I know people probably know this info already, but I asked Dan Heath and he confirmed he was the one who produced "Fucked My Way Up to the Top" with Emile Haynie and not Dan Auerbach. Here's the screenshot: https://imgur.com/gallery/JaawbKW

"Something a pretentious nerdy Instagram kid in high school, who thinks they were born in a wrong generation, would write" is the best way to describe the lyrics of this song, lol. What in the actual world. But I really dig the vibe, tho. The video is super cool. I like this song way better than "Secret Life" imo, even if Lana's barely in it.

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.

What an incredible photoshoot, she looks stunning. Now, what the fuck was even this article? The person who wrote it had the chance to spend a couple of hours interviewing Lana, and decided to write a long ass essay describing mundane details about her furniture? Also, what a narcissistic journalist. "Wow, I don't know what I personally think about this Lana Del Rey persona, let me babble on about what MY perceptions full of judgement and prejudice are about her instead of letting the person who I am interviewing tell me the answer". A classic example of a writer who tells but never actually shows.

I live in Chile, and have the same feelings as you. She's a touring force in Latin America, why is she doing Lollapalooza only over here? smh. I want a proper solo tour.

what's funny to me is how unapologetically unserious these lyrics are. Imagine if this was released back on 2020/2021, people would be cancelling her, lmao.
