I am slightly disappointed by the amount of piano ballads we’re getting/we’ve gotten again. Like, we’ve now had COCC, BB, all stripped down and mostly piano driven and Ocean Blvd was supposed to usher in a new sound supposedly, but to me this record just feels like a continuation of the previous eras since NFR, with the exception of a few tracks. I really wish Lana could just ditch Jack behind because he’s already given us his magnum opus w Lana and that was NFR, someone send him back to Taylor’s studio please.
It’s hard defending the claims Lana’s music puts people to sleep when half of her discography consists of dragged out piano ballads.
