Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

but Lana Del Ray and Kill Kill EP are from 2009-2010 and it still was Lizzy Grant tho

I quit I'm lost

[luminom 3,287]

i think 2011 was the year that she finally established herself as lana del rey

idk tho

So as there isn't any evidence for May Jailer

No, that's not what I'm saying. She almost certainly recorded Sirens under the name May Jailer. And it's a reasonable assumption she may have recorded QN & FTE intending them to be May Jailer recordings. But there's no evidence she ever performed as May Jailer. Gig posters and event calendar listings for her earliest shows list her as Lizzy, Lizzie, or Lizzi Grant, even though she was probably playing a lot of May Jailer material and listed those shows on her MySpace page, myspace.com/mayjailer, which was redirected to by lizzygrant.com, lizziegrant.com, lizzigrant.com, and mayjailer.com...

 

Girl was never consistent.

 

but Lana Del Ray and Kill Kill EP are from 2009-2010 and it still was Lizzy Grant tho

Kill Kill was released in 2008 under Lizzy Grant. Lana Del Ray was released in 2010 as Lana Del Ray. The "AKA Lizzy Grant" is not actually part of the title.

 

So, does that make "Kill Kill", "Yayo", & "Gramma" Lizzy Grant songs or Lana Del Ray?

 

i think 2011 was the year that she finally established herself as lana del rey

She started billing herself as Lana Del Rey at least as early as her Mexicali Live show in August 2009.

 

Edit: And she was already toying around with a variant, Lana Rey Del Mar, at least as early as November 2008.

Has anyone ever called Lana "Lizzy" or "Elizabeth" in public? Does she react to it in the same fashion that she does Lana?

[thatsomason 1,202]

Do we have the instrumental for American? I could've sworn I saw it

[May 13,318]

where does the name Lana Rey Del Mar come from? it's listed as one of her previous names on Wikipedia and they say she performed under that name, do we have any proof?

I think a lot of people who know her from way back still call her Lizzy.

The Lana Rey Del Mar name was mentioned in two articles in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, published near her hometown of Lake Placid. However, there are no performances she is known to have performed under that name.

She also had a Lana Rey Del Mar MySpace too, which you can see at the end her friends list from this archived page. Unfortunately, there are no archived pages for that profile.

I don't know if anyone knows, but does anyone know what Lana's recording deal/contract says... After, watching this video I am concerned about how her record company is treating her with everything. I know she has free creativity but is she earning her money instead of a lot of it unfairly going to the record label?? I want to know because my dream is to do something in an art and maybe pursue the singer-songwriter thing, but if going into debt is a consequence and being fucked for life because of my dream I may just do something else....

wow, that was interesting to watch. fairly recent vid too. i knew alot of this already, but didn't think it was that severe.

have heard of alot of artists pissed right off at their labels. I think if you're selling well, then you are fine..

is there more than 1 version of Paris?

No

[graham4anything 2,859]

that video shows why NOT doing promo much is actually dollar for dollar advantageous

One can make more profit from low key than from mega.

Sure, the record company can buy you a few number one singles, but an artist is so into debt from publicity and videos the companies pay for that 100 million becomes bankrupt for the artist.

 

Whereas a self-made hand held video

 

and Lana getting into actually producing her record and keeping hanger-ons away

 

Record companies have been legendary in their stealing from the 1950s black artists doo-wop groups to the present.

 

Normally, touring and merchandise artists make their money,

and as Lana writes almost all of her material (except for covers) songwriters do very well and the streaming companies have to pay royalties (though not so big, they add up quickly).

 

Lana having her dad who knows the biz is actually a good thing with this.

Dude, stop talking trash. Lana has a joint venture deal with Polydor / Interscope records. These labels share costs and risks and outcome. Her budget is set before the release. She does not have to pay for anything since she ain't on a 360 deal anyway.

 

Only 360 artists have that risk. Katy Perry for instance (aka Queen of Pop and the lady who has ended Gaga's career) is also not on a 360, because she is clever unlike Gaga who has a 360 deal with Interscope records.

Katy also topped Forbes this year. There are different contracts you can sign as an artist.

Just wondering what is your source or how do you know that she isn't on a 360 deal?

I believe you cause I found that thread a few moments ago. There's even a link probably to that video but it's dead now.
