Paradise sessions started as sessions for second album then she merged it with BTD outtakes (after BTD she planned to release an addition with outtakes from it), and then she throw away BTD outtakes (most of them since I suspect Ride is a 2010-2011 song) and it became like EP, it’s all we know
Why it ended up being an extended thing to BTD we don’t know

Songs for this project started as songs for the next album as insider once said and Lana herself called it a separate thing in some 2012 interviews so you can say that especially that Young & Beautiful and I Don’t Wanna Go fit the album so well I’ve always considered them kind of part of it

An album and one of her best too.

Lana tell us about your upcoming album release
Lana:

It’s real the deluxe change part was confirmed by one magazine that posted Cry Baby tracklist earlier they just confused on wiki 99 Cent Store with Alphabet Boy and Zzzz with Pacify Her accidentally , those track lengths are still for AB and PH
 
Also haven’t seen anyone posted about these bits of info, but this is what was shared once in Discord:
– The original list of KOL files was missing a bunch of stuff and it was confirmed that Dollhouse has at least 3 demos, with only one being leaked
– The confusion around recording dates for Haunted, Pity Party and Cake, they have been confirmed April 27th, 2014, Haunted and Cake were being worked on until August 2014 and Pity Party until September 2014
– I Scream Cry Baby demo was recorded on 
March 8th, 2015
– K-12 has CJ Baran outtakes

Waiting for this…

i don't see enough people praising the writing in Rocking Horse here, imo her best written song
 
also leak King of the arcade, i've always been so curious about that song

bye, then!  

It’s crazy to think that Lana used to be synonymous with beautiful visuals and creating “worlds” within albums and now she’s basically known for long nonsensical titles and picsart album covers. 

i don't really care what her political views are, what she believes in private is not at all my knowledge and not my business, i love her music, and that's what is important to me

It's bizarre to me that anyone's invested in Lana's relationships

in light of finding out that UV could have been a double album, that makes this quote really interesting.
 
We've been assuming that the double album would have been songs that had been recorded in the same session as the album, but this makes it seem like we're wrong. It also helps make sense why Freak Like Me sounds very UV, it most likely started out for the second album.
 
I'm really interested if the confirmed 2014 songs
(California
Crazy For You
Honeymoon
Freak
Soft Ice Cream (Salvatore)
24 Hours
Swan Song
Blackest Day
Pink Flamingos (Music To Watch Boys To)
Dark City 
Dead To Me
I Can Fly (rework of original 2013 demo))
 
have the same kind of UV-esque demos. We Know Dark City and California have a more UV vibe

Larry Jackson speaks about getting Lana Del Rey on SNL & signing her to Interscope! 
 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7F3Xomh64jZibxbLuOhXuw?si=ca2f46102e8c4f75
 
Larry speaks about A&R and how amazing Lana Del Rey is! he helped sign her to Interscope and get her the SNL deal. calls her initially as "ah Lizzy" 
Larry and his pal John Ehmann were fired from SONY Music. John Ehmann said Larry should listen to a demo called "Diet Mtn Dew" by an artist named Lana, who Sony just passed on.  
Larry loved it! 
says he met Lana 2 months after he himself moved to Los Angeles. she came in looking like she had walked off the set of the BTD album cover! Lol. he was enthralled by her. 
Says the night before she signed w/Interscope, she got a deal from SONY UK for 2 times as much money, and she said No! and signed the next day with Interscope !!!! (our queen) 
Larrys says lana means so much to him and Interscope. He says at that point he was willing to help her do anything to help her artistic vision come to life (especially understanding that 2 times amount Sony offered was a big deal to a artist trying to make ends meet) 
He says she told him she wanted to be "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and he was sold! Ed/Ben/Lana signed officially and INterescope helped them make BTD with Emile Haynie and Justin Parker. 
BTD cost only $183,000. 
says he got an idea to write a letter to Jimmy Iovine to send to Lorne Michael of SNL about getting Lana on. 
Discussed how being an A&R is about believing in the vision when no one else does. Says the Brian Williams article was very hurtful to him and to lana (bc at the time Brian Williams was a respected journalist - which is funny now because he got fired and lost journalistic integrity for fabricating a story about jumping out of a plane in the Iraq war in 2003 _ LOL did "did anyone else die for you") 
 
Larry talks a bit more about how she and Chief Keef at such important musical figures who have shaped music and provided a breath of fresh air to a time of stagnant music. 
 
Larry says he felt extremely motivated after SNL and so did Lana. 
 

I think it was touched on like once in the past a very long time ago
 
I mentioned it in a thread 2 months ago so this is so cool to know that it hasn't been a forgotten fact... though a little misleading because though she wasn't signed with Sony, she had a deal with them and had a lot of sessions under them (late 2010-mid 2011), I believe this was just for her to work more and bring new music into them to potentially sign her but they weren't feeling anything she was doing. Then Video Games blew up and Sony probably wanted to sign her then but she was like nah and went to Interscope
 
There was a guy at Sony who was in love with Lana (thought she was hot) and opened up closed studios just for her to record free stuff  queen shit...

Better be for the giver! (Or subway)
 
I wanted one for Good Luck Babe but that ship has sailed and I’d prefer a new song released 

omg she's wearing a t-shirt that says "american whore" on it in her most recent interview (with nardwuar)
