But during LFL era Lana worked with so many producers besides Rick & Co. For example, with Emile Haynie, it's impossible that they only worked on Love. They were also seen a lot during Spring 2016, so I feel like they worked on 1-2 songs more than Love.
 
I made a list:
 
POSSIBLE SESSIONS WITH EACH PRODUCER AND COLLABORATOR WHO WORKED FOR LUST FOR LIFE

• PRODUCERS •

Rick Nowels & Co. (Kieron Menzies, Dean Reid) sessions (that's basically confirmed because they made like the biggest amount of songs together)

Emile Haynie sessions

Benny Blanco sessions

Max Martin sessions

Mighty Mike sessions (works with Rick Nowels, although his production contribution appears on three songs - 13 Beaches, Heroin and TNBAR)

Tim Larcombe sessions

Boi-1da sessions

Metro Boomin sessions

Justin Parker sessions

Fred Again sessions
 
(the weird thing what I noticed while I looked up the producers' production/writing discography was that she worked with two.....Ed Sheeran's producers - Benny Blanco and Fred Again )

• COLLABORATORS •

The Weeknd sessions

ASAP Rocky sessions (could be with Bo-1da because they work together)

Stevie Nicks sessions

Sean Ono Lennon sessions
 

Poor Emile, tho. I wonder if he's aware of how does Lana feel about his job on 'Born to Die' and the thing she's said about it . I remember a few years ago, on an interview with Courtney she low-key dragged him, and said he basically ruined the original 'Blue Jeans' with his production. But at least they're on good terms, so perhaps he doesn't care.
 
The thing is, whether she like it or not, Emile's touch is what made the songs as timeless as they are. People started to mimic Lana's sound from that era, especifically. But I get it, we all want to sound edgy talking down about versions of ourselves from the past. We grow up, she's in a diferent place now.
 
I'm pretty sure if she could, she'd re-record that album the way she wanted to sound like now. And as much as I'm a hardcore Emile stan, it'd be interesting to hear a Jack Antonoff/Drew Erickson (& co) updated take on 'Born to Die', as in Taylor's re-recordings, maybe with Emile on board, as he basically crafted that whole sound 

I think that Lana is just cringing when she looks back at the Born To Die era (like when she mocked her Million Dollar Man performance in Banisters release's livestream). I don't really think she hates Emile's production that much.
 
Although what I have noticed that in BTD era performances (like Born To Die's performance in BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and Radio's performance at The Scala Club), her band used the demo versions of those songs.

Puppy Love is a really good song, all those references to the 50s omg.

i may get crucified for this but Chemtrails is one of my fav lana albums

I'm listening to Born To Die and I'm just emotional rn. I think it's UV turning 9 doing me in right now. I just can't believe it's been THAT long. I literally grew up listening to her music and still use it daily. Thinking about at these albums and eras, and listening to the music itself, makes me feel so fucking nostalgic and it's so overwhelming tbh. Personally and as a fan. 
 
She's had such an amazing career and released some of the greatest pieces of music in our generation. She really did the thing and I'm so proud of her. She has such strength and resilience it's unbelievable not to mention her immense talent. It's just in her DNA and it's been so so so beautiful to witness her grow and change through the years. I really hope I can thank her in person one day for that impact she's had on me through music. 

the way the demo version can make me cry just from its sound
100% agree
