Platinum Greenwich

This was an interview VG did with Lana around the time she performed in Bergen, so it's from yesterday I believe. 
 
Lana has captured the world with her music, but she points out that not everything in her life is picture perfect. 
 
After her performance in Bergen she received the high score 5 from VG, and the singer told us that she highly values Norwegian fans.
 
"I value being here more than ever now. When I see how the audience sings along, it makes me feel like they accept me for who I am. I feel like they understand me." 
When asked why there are still sad girls and bad men in her songs, Lana laughs, and answers: "I am still a sad girl, I still date bad men." 
 
On the "I wish I was dead" hysteria
 
But feeling understood is not always the case for the artist outside of the stage area. In an interview with the guardian published this week, the singer voiced a death wish, which got quoted by media all over the world, including VG.
 
But to VG Lana says that the whole situation was blown out of proportions. 
 
"I did not actually say that I thought an early death was a glamorous way to go. I just said that like many other people I admire and take inspiration from those who have passed at an early age," referring to her heroes, Jimi Hendrix and Amy Winehouse, who both died young. (Did he mix up Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison when he googled 27 club...?)
 
The artist admits to having said that she sometimes wishes she was dead, but that it was taken the wrong way. 
 
"Like many people who go through a lot I sometimes wish for my life to end. Sometimes feel like that, and sometimes I don't."
 
Lana Del Rey elaborates that every day is different, and that she is not an unhappy person.
"Sometimes I just feel like it becomes too much."
 
Talking about Ultraviolence
 
"To me this album is more relaxed, free and sexy. I didn't feel the need to document as much of my life story as I did in Born to Die. This album goes deeper into important moments from my life." Lana Del Rey adds that the album is like her own little personal jewel. 
 
The artist struggle when she's trying to explain why so many young girls love her music. 
 
"I guess they to a certain degree can relate to what I say or how I say things."
 
Interviewer: "But one of your songs from the new album is called "Fucked My Way to the Top". What do you want to convey to those who listen to this song?"
 
"I don't censor myself," she says, and adds that all of the songs on the album means something to her and often tells a tale about things she's been trough. 
 
She admits that sharing her deep and personal songs from the stage has been nerve wracking. But Del Rey says it has become easier with time. Now she sees that the audience is happy to be at her concerts. And that is why she sees the importance in taking "selfies" with her fans during concerts, giving out hugs and pecks on the cheek. 
 
"It's a part of the experience. For them I am the show, but to me they are the show. So I take part in it."

"pretty baby" sup k how you doin

I hate how this would slot right fuckin' in with like 90% of what we might infer from her discography.

Flipside fits UV so much more than Is This Happiness.

MethUserlah inspires the same horror and disgust in me as Bradley Soileau does for so many other people it seems
 
Why can't she bring back Rocky

*17 (Radio Mix of West Coast )

Someone send me Flipside? <3
 
i know this the wrong thread but sh

I'm pretty fuckin' sure Guns and Roses is my favorite off the album, tbh. Fuck y'all.

i wanna walk down the highway at midnight listening to "cruel world", lounge in a cabaret club that has "sad girl" playin in the background, eat fries in a 24/7 diner whilst listening to "pretty when you cry", then ride the subway downtown with "guns and roses" playin in the background, and then find + get powerfucked by a handsome stranger to "florida kilos" sigh

it's not leaking, y'all. calm your mammaries lmfao

it's not leaking, y'all. calm your mammaries lmfao

"men are my passion" lmao
 
I understand what she means but I don't say these things out loud
 
why is she so easy to make fun of?

Gaga is not transgender, though. Not to our knowledge, anyway. Of course, "looking like a man" is relative, but c'mon. It's not necessarily negative.

I really want to be mad about the slut-shaming FWMUTTT lyrics -- but honestly, it's a diss. Lana isn't making a general statement, she's just debasing a person she hates.

I am throughly amused omg. You were expecting..better?
On one hand, yeah it's boring and old hat to call out someone as a whore (not that female singers don't do it all the time) butI don't know, we all heard So Legit right? That wasn't even or tasteful either. The song is called Fucked My Way Up to The Top...Like anyway you spin this, the song wasn't gonna tick any empowerment checkboxes. It sucks that Lana isn't more engaged in that particular aspect of her work, but we all accept that its very personal, and as we know she just doesn't give a shit about feminism. You should not be looking for Kathleen Hanna teas from the new LDR record. Maybe she'll change her tune one day, She wouldn't be the first to do so.
 
 
Tbh it sounds really great, Sonically, lyrically.

Hopefully the album leaks tonight… if it doesn't I will go ultraviolent for real    

there is no doubt that slut shaming was not her intention, but it's important that she gets called out on this shit - mainly so women in general stop calling other fucking women whores? where do you think that comes from? what kind of message do you think that perpetuates? if i call someone the N word but i'm not, you know, really meaning to use that word in the context of its history, does this somehow mean it's cool? no. for someone like lana, who has dramatized herself as a stripper, alluded to several sexual obsessions, has lyrics like "i was an angel looking to get fucked hard" and preaches this idea of ultimate freedom for women, you think she would be a little more wise and have a little more understanding about the history of that word and what kind of message it sends. it reminds me of childish brats in high school calling other girls whores and sluts. it was "harmless" name calling but it got a pretty strong idea across. and women's sexuality is still a HUGE issue, so like.... why so many people here seem to want to excuse this is kinda beyond me. i get that you love lana, i do, too, but that doesn't mean you should turn a blind eye to bullshit.
