Having this feeling that Ocean Boulevard will be Lana's Hejira. Or maybe her Dead Petz (had Dead Petz been critically acclaimed like it should've been). But whatever it is, it's gonna be OUT THERE, and I need some out of left field work from Lana. I love her "return to roots" music from the last two albums, but I need a shock. I've been going back to LFL so much recently because I need a sharp turn like that album or NFR were.

^This. Has there been any new info from the past day or two that's been rumoured or leaked?

Thanks! I'm in the middle of organizing my unreleased songs. I have an "outtakes" album for BTD of about 30 tracks, and two albums with original album name ideas like The Revenge of Lana Del Rey and The World is Ours (about 60 tracks between the two). I'm just trying to find any random songs from this time period that I can slip in

Do you think this song was from the BTD sessions or more connected to AKA?

I’ve been loving this record a lot lately. It’s got a mix of everything to love about Lana, and listening to it five years down the line feels like coming home, oddly. It makes life feel rosier in its hue 

I love Sean on the song but I like the demo’s bridge more. It’s so heartbreaking and hopeless,  and it’s completely lost in the “now I’m singing with Sean” version 

One of the best songs to come out of the era

Gorgeous post.
 
Lust For Life is aging like fine wine. The trap beats never feel dated and the journey from the first half bleeding into the second half (with its sadder but still hopeful tone) perfectly captures the transitions Lana probably lived and felt. Is it cohesive? Well maybe not specially when compared to the masterpiece in cohesion that was Honeymoon; does it matter that much to me? Not at all. Lana managed to bottle up the state of the world during that era and deliver her ruminations about it in a way that felt both nostalgic for previous moments in history where social and cultural change were busting at the seams (late 60s for instance) AND ominous for what was about to come - listening to Change now, knowing what was going to happen from 2019 forward, is absolutely haunting. 
 
LFL will never top NFR, Chemtrails, HM and UV for me but it’s a goddamn great album that is much richer and more textured than what I initially thought upon its release. Its vision, for someone like me - about to turn 30 years old in a couple months - is now crystal clear.
 
Get Free EATS.
