I completely agree, she's more and more eloquent and less and less apologetic. And no worries

Art Deco most definitely. Salvatore cause it's my fav. Religion because it saves lives. And HBTB because this song fuckin rocks and yall can turn your locations on

Oh my God. Then I'm praying hard. If I have time I'll ask her ;_;

I hope too because I'm camping but I checked candids from last time and they were took after the live, isn't it the purpose of Maida Vale? I don't know english radio well

but her bangs are grown back! I think it's the light cuz they def seem black in the others

asahjkhjaksh is she naked She looks so youthful and plump her cheeks are as pink as her lips

That would be so cool if anyone would do a translation! These pics are slaying my existence.

CD boxset, vinyl boxset, and I'm getting one signed, so I suppose it's a digipack and not a jewel case? I never got anything signed! Edit: lmao sorry I forgot I already answered but my question is legit regarding the cd signed

Done How did you lived the incomprehension facing your album Ultraviolence last year? I inherited from my father's philosophical side: if things aren't too bad, then they go well. I feel privileged to be able to continue making what I adore. I don't care about critics of my records but they change the way people are going to listen to my music, so as well receive favourable echoes... Did you then needed this lightness in your life, this nonchalance? In a way, it was an antidote to what happened in my life. I needed to make an album that sounds exactly like what I had in head. It was the only way to preserve my vision. I always needed this kind of simplicity. I felt a real nonchalance in regards to the way the music was going to be received and at the same time I was totally obsessed by my craft, my songs. It is the best possible state of mind when you're making an album. Around you, were there too many people to give their opinion, their advice? There is constantly a lot of people and they all emit many opinions about my current album. It's not because I despise them all but... When it comes to produce, in particular the voice, I feel comfortable only if I remain faithful to what I hear in me. I did not recorded Ultraviolence in reaction to anybody or anything: it's just the record I wanted to write, and the way I wanted it to sound like. Do you worry, in the name of expectations, in front of the blank page? I feel very distant from these expectations, doubtless because the reaction from people to my music remains fundamentally different from mine. I just felt overwhelmed at a moment when everywhere everyone said that my music was only extreme sadness, even harmful. The best remedy was to close shutters and to continue to work. You then thought of escaping? Yes, that can be the real temptation, in several possible manners... My brain and my imagination tend to turn at top speed, my escapes are thus rather physical - to move out for example. I feel the need to live something different, neurologically or physically... I always found ways to escape. And without resorting to imaginary friends; I have never had some. Can you sometimes just slam the door? It is always possible to run away. The big problem, is that everywhere where I go, I leave with my own self. Thus it is complicated for me to escape as I would wish it. The two places were I succeed it are at the beach and while driving. For a long time, my own music was my most beautiful source of escape... When it became more concrete over the years, it became my reality, what I tried to escape. Nevertheless, I have a visceral relation to music, it is one of the most intimate and most natural things for me. In terms of pleasure, I place it on the same level as sex. Why does music took such a place in your life? Because I was intended to make some. I contented with making what I was supposed to make and that totally invaded my life. It is what arrives when we are on the right track. Until a few years ago, I considered certain musicians as an enormous inspiration. I felt a lot of love for them, but in a healthy way! I recently lost a little of this connection. You sing a bit of a text from David Bowie on the album. Was he always in your pantheon? Sometimes, when you sing and improvise, sentences appear from nowhere... I hope that he won't mind. But I am convinced that his words appeared for a reason, thus I never changed this line. He's such an exciting soul. He comes of an extraordinary period, with all this music, the art, the energy of the time. (We tell her about a photo gathering, in 1973, Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed) I would have adored living in this era, with incredible friends! To what extent did your relationship to the craft of singing evolved since your beginnings? Since a decade, I completely dived, with delight, into this craft. I remember with tenderness my first steps, even if it's very far... But recently, I less cared about structures, compositions, I let things create themselves, naturally. To be honest, this musical freedom is exciting, I feel blessed. It's as if you escaped from structures which until then defined you and that you evolved in another psychic dimension, that you pushed back the limits of your soul thanks to the words and to the melodies... Are you technically very involved? In terms of sounds, arrangement, production, it's fundamental for me to be very precise. On an album, the part dedicated to the mixing and to the mastering takes an enormous deal of time. With my producer and my engineer, I am totally involved in this work. With me, long after I stopped composing songs, the production evolves constantly, until the last minute. I am thus very fastidious on this aspect too, which takes me a lot of time. I however felt more fluid, more eloquent with the "language of the music" when I was younger... I have already said many things in my records and I had many experiences these last two years which eventually ended up parasiting the transmissions, the translations between the muse and me. What did you change in your working methods for Honeymoon? Not much, I contented this time with not looking for a second producer to disrupt the sound of the album as it had begun. Last year, I made everything with Rick Nowels before taking this album to Dan Auerbach. This time, I stayed in studio with Rick and we finished everything together. He is at the same time my partner and a dear friend. Did a word, an idea defined the aesthetics of this new album? The song Honeymoon defined the tone, with Music to Watch Boys to. I adore the idea of "honeymoon", it's the peak of a romantic relation... It's even supposed to be the most beautiful moment of the life of a woman... I probably tried to make my life more beautiful than it was. All the feelings, all the concerns which I feel, all the questions I ask myself about the future influence the words, of course, but also the melodies... Other than that, I did not feel outside influences for this album, if it is not for jazz and trap music, that marked the production of both songs. Do you remember your first guitar? My uncle Tim had lent me his, I did not kept it, it stayed at his home. Where does your nostalgia comes from? I'm thinking all the time, I'm rather contemplative, my passion for beautiful movies doubtless explains why my aesthetics can be thought of as nostalgia... I also am very romantic: the combination of all this is maybe called nostalgia. I prefer to think that I just have very good tastes! Will I one day compose my own soundtrack? Who knows, it's maybe written in my future... What would you like to change in you? I would want to live without concern, without fear. This interview is so amazing, I really love her answers here

That's ok I'm halfway done anyway

I'm doing it rn!

I've found some HM promo completely by chance while going to find her a florist to give her blue hydrangeas for tomorrow!!!! It's a giant screen so I couldn't take good photos but I'm so motherfucking hyped I can't even swallow I'm DYING of stress!!! I'm so glad she's doing promo!! Btw I went to Rough Trade again to see if they're starting to prepare things up but nah. I looked on the events poster and Lana is NOT listed. So I'm thinking it's a last minute move from her just out of promo and love for the fans. Fml. I adore her.

I don't mind doing it but tbh from tomorrow on I will basically d i e of stress so I'd suggest someone else doing it, but if no one wants to I'll do it

I just saw a scan with a quote saying "en terme de plaisir je place la musique à égalité avec le sexe" which roughly translates by "in terms of pleasure I'm putting music on the same level as sex" and I'm absolutely fucking dying over there I've neve heard her talk about sexuality this blunty

Oh ok thank you. Well it opens at 8am and I live just near so as I probably won't even be able to sleep I'll go as soon as it's opened. Shit I'm pissing myself. I'm so stressed. I stupidly watched meetings videos all evening and now my own love is eating me alive I can't even write her a letter.

Apparently, the show Later... With Jools Holland will have a new series soon. And apparently, there is a small chance she could be on this week or next, because it's BBC and they normally link people from Radio 1 to Jools. So maybe it's not necessarily to get really hyped but that would be so cool, especially since last time it didn't ended up that well cause she was still at the beginning, and now that her incredible reclaimed album is almost out, and that she's been extremely sneaky these past days, there's a lot of stuff that makes it not totally impossible.

Wait I read on tumblr that people are camping in London??? But I don't get if it's people that didn't got their wristbands, or if she's going to be somewhere else?...

I hope no filters too but it's Lana let's be real it will prolly have one, can't wait to be proved wrong though

Is there any way to block the words "china" and "palace" when put together so they can be considered as spam and not posted smh. I will only believe what they post when Lana herself shows up at my door to confirm it Lol you posted one second before me. Great minds think alike

This is one of the best outfits Lana ever wore this video is going to be iconic and perhaps her best one, big production is back and I'm both ready and not fucking ready also she looks extremely hot and I'm desperately gay bye

Can Lana stop doing nothing for months and then dropping a billion things in 20mins because my heart cannot take it fml

No it's a radio! Damn I was so hyped lmao sorry

AAJSKLJKLDJFLKJDFLK SHE LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD ON THE NEW PICS OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA MEET HER WHILE SHE'S THIS PRETTY I WANT CANDIDS

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas to everyone stanning for Salvatore cause it's the best but why this hate for God Knows I Tried? It's godly and an absolute treasure of emotion, I know for a fact that it's what I'll hear when I'll enter the gates of heaven

I'm very glad I'm not the only one to think of that!!! And yeah, I was afraid to be this bold, but I absolutely agree and it makes complete sense. I feel like Lana is more and more losing her chill regarding her innuendos, but that may be a figment of my thirsty imagination. I didn't knew that, thank you so much for all your phenomenal work, early shows section is extremely impressive
