God forgive anyone who underestimates the Honeymoon!
 
"24" and "DLMBM" seems to be a highlight against the background of some new popular releases
 
 

This was tough. I took some time to go back and reflect. Here’s what I came to with:
 
1. Ultraviolence
2. Honeymoon
3. Born to Die / Paradise*
4. NFR!
5. Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd
6. Chemtrails over the Country Club
7. Lust for Life
8. Blue Banisters
 

The shift in titles from one full sentence to a single word is symbolic of her creative shift. From the production of tracks like A&W and Taco Truck x VB to simpler, folksy, country songs. 
 
Now we know why her last tour was around the Bible Belt and why she was spending so much time in Tennessee. 

Assuming she doesn’t go full out country (I bet it’s more of a hybrid genre album, that mixes in ballads, Americana, folk and maybe even a few covers), this really isn’t a huge shift for her. 
 
Creatively, it allows her to focus in. Ocean Blvd was all over the place, not in a bad way, but here are can channel her voice into a more specific direction.
 
When I think of recent records like Chemtrails and Banisters, she was starting to go in this direction. Several of those songs had a folksy, bluesy feel. Ocean Blvd didn’t necessarily expand upon that much, but some of the tracks had folksy moments. 
 
Basically, if she goes “country,” but with songs that feel like White Dress, Violets for Roses or Paris, Texas, I can totally live with that. I find a hard time believing she’s going to take a hardcore turn into some deep country $hit. 

Beer. It always made me gag. I tried tons of different kinds. I can tolerate a few stouts, but ask me to finish a regular beer and I’ll die trying lol

Here’s the thing, as much as some of us sometimes want her to be more mainstream or feel that she is more mainstream than she gets credit for - at the end of the day, she’s herself. She’ll do and sing whatever the F she wants. 
 
People respect that. It’s as if she’s gaining mainstream popularity, precisely for the fact that she’s not mainstream. She doesn’t follow the “norms” and expectations. She can write a record like Ocean Boulevard, fill it with the dreamy, laidback vocals of The Grants and Paris, Texas, but still hit you with an A&W or Peppers when you least expect it. 
 
From what I’ve seen over the past year or so, and arguably the past few years if you include Chemtrails and Banisters, she’s in a different era. She’s not going to give anyone a Coachella-esque setlist, not even Coachella. 
 
She’s not going to be forever young and the pacing has slowed down. The h@ting on the setlists is growing old. The board seemed to almost unanimously loathe her setlist from last year. She adds 3-4 new songs and it’s still “bad.” Yet we all keep coming back and the critical reviews from her performance last night seem to be almost universally positive. 
 
It is possible for two things to be true at the same time. We can accept that the playlist is slower paced, her vocals are more subdued, the performance may drag in comparison to other popular artists. But, speaking of art, it is also true that her elegance and beauty are as strong as ever. 
 
The problem with celebrities is everyone has an idealized, sometimes unrealistic expectation. We can try to mold a perfect Lana performance in our head, but at the end of the day, she’s going to do whatever tf she wants. 
 
Is her setlist decision based on comfort? Familiarity? The new era she’s in? It’s irrelevant to me. I’m just thankful that she’s out here giving us art on a regular basis. 2024 has certainly been an active year for her. Things are going to continue to get crazy, for a long, long time. Even if it’s not always in the exact way that some of her fans want. 
 
I’d argue that part of her charm is that she does what she wants. Not what others want her to do or what others think she should be doing.

Glastonbury wasn’t perfect either. It’s definitely up there as a great set by her. The opening of Cola is lacking energy, for example. Sure, her rendition of UV was one of the best things she’s ever performed live, but even in that set we saw some low energy bits and vocals that were “lacking.”
 
She was in a different era then, which was my point about the pacing and choosing tracks. Some artists only do what their fans want. Others only do what they want. On the spectrum, Lana does care about her fans, but she’s more of a “I’ll do whatever I want” and I’ve always loved that about her. 
 
Some artists sound perfectly polished and flawless live. That’s not her. She’s always been a bit nervous and timid. I don’t knock her for it. Others go 20-30 years and their live performances don’t feel as great as the original records, they lack energy, etc.
 
We do realize that Lana is one of those artists who’s never released a live album, right? Even officially disseminated live recordings are fairly rare and are usually put out by the station, TV show or organization. There’s a reason for that. 
 
Why do we have to compare her to other artists? Why should we compare her to anyone? She’s extremely unique and doesn’t follow most pop culture rules.
 
Again, I’m conceding that Coachella 2024 I wasn’t her best performance. I even gave a review earlier and said I was relatively unimpressed, but that it wasn’t bad. 
 
When we try to compare ourselves or those who we love/admire to others, that’s where things start to go wrong.

People change, it’s sad but it happens. She’s changed for the better too.

Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone. 

I completely agree. lanas voice is especially unique and there is nobody you can actually compare her too!

I feel like we are being way too harsh on her for her vocals. She literally sang cherry & aw and didn’t playback like in forever, was ready to serve vocals in pwyc but the mic didn’t let her etc. I noticed her mood went downhill super quickly after she noticed her mic was screwed up and she also tried to incorporate all of her high notes by either singing them in a Lower note, letting a background singer take over, or singing less belty more breathy. I can easily tell this was the most effort she put in forever but was bummed super easily by tech issues.

i honestly think every lana stan should experience btd live
