Well look at how Gaga has shocked a lot of people of late with her jazz and Broadway-esque singing and it's really working for her. I believe a more jazzy sound was what Lady Gaga was doing around the bars of New York before fame. There's so much unreleased Lana stuff which could be collated into studio albums but alas, I can't see this happening.

Like others here have said, no one can predict the future. But I sure hope she will stay in the business and keep making music for a long time to come. She has talent! Gaga has talent, too (her Julie Andrews tribute during the Oscars recently is proof enough of that)... Lorde has talent, lots of people have talent. I suspect Gaga will be remembered more than Lana due to her flamboyancy. But Lana has a unique style, and it's something I'll listen to for a long, long time.

Lana has done something I can't recall any female singer has ever done, and I have been listening to music since the early 1960s.
What female artist in history has written so much and sung so much?
Aretha has songs written for her.
Petula Clark sang other peoples songs.
Mama Cass-sang others
Janis Joplin- sang others (Me and Bobby McGee was written by Kris Kristofferson).
others have burnt out or died or have one or two albums, but then go years of nothing.
Anyone who knew of her older songs then and now, it is clear they are her words, her ideas, her thoughts and while others may change a word, tidy up a lyric, I would say 90% is hers.
Much like Leonard Cohen, Lana is a poet first, a writer, a visual artist.
Much like Brian Wilson, the recording studio is more important than putting on a show. Old school. Singing direct to audience. One doesn't need bells and whistles.
The legendary artists of all time didn't do anything but stand at the microphone and sing.
Edith Piaf, Sinatra, Orbison, the Beatles(who also didn't do very many shows), Brian Wilson, Elton basically at the piano.
Speaking of Elton, Elton only does the music, Bernie the words. Lana does words and music.
I think like Elton, like Brian Wilson, if Lana wants to, she can be around for 60 years and her music will live on.
I don't think it is an exaggeration to think that when the time comes, Lana will be in the Hall of Fame.
(If only she could get to induct Lou Reed).
And Lana is doing it her own way. She is not playing the normal game. What are there about 300 different songs already, most unreleased, something a Bruce Springsteen or the Grateful Dead did,
all these rarieties. (We are lucky to have them on youtube). And not a bad one in the bunch.
She already has 3 Top 10 albums. (check the chart records, one can count the relatively few female singers on the US album charts that have had 3 Top 10 albums, and Honeymoon will be the 4th.
And without a real hit single either nor looking for any radio airplay (and not needing it)..
I am looking forward to Honeymoon, and anything else released. Do wish the Brian Wilson duet had happened, that would have been a good grammy entry next year, but others will come.
If this was 1967-8-9, Lana would have had 10 number one songs on stations like WABC, New York and KHJ California.
As said above, the Hall of Fame in a couple of decades, the Songwriting Hall of fame, etc.
And it wouldn't surprise me if there will be an Oscar for producing a short film. (An Oscar is an Oscar, no matter what category).

THANKS!
Also, sorry, I didn't post it here, but if you looked at my introduction thread I actually said this was recorded 5 months ago and since then I've become a HUGE Lana Del Rey fan. When I made this video, I HATED her. Just her presence annoyed me. But since then, I have noticed that she's an amazing singer and her art is beautiful.
Although her live performances are still sooo shitty lol sorry
Well aren't you a rude bitch, honey! Calm your tits, maybe you'd feel better

I can't wait to hear Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Nina's version is perfection and I can imagine she will use it as her muse.
Please give us news Lana. Even a random picture of a booklet photo or something you have planned.

I'm hoping that since she's decided to do something new every album or whatever that she goes back to having some hip hop tones again. Far fetched dream but I loved born to die. Maybe she'll have a unreleased Florida Kilos feel for the next album... or maybe she'd even do a soft and slow album like bloozy(bluesy). I dont know. I'm just excited period. I cant get enough.
I'm okay with her subject matter. In fact I love it, because it's soo storytelling like. You guys cant just expect her to change how she writes that's kinda set in stone really.
I LOVE the title Music To Watch Boys To..... because that's what I wanna do while listening to it. lol
I say the more music the better. Gotta stay relevant.
