I've only been a stan since 2017. Has she had other eras similar to this with little to no promotion? I know that she opted out of doing promo for UV, but it was bound to be successful coming off of the hype of BTD. And with Honeymoon she did a lot of intimate signings and stuff. I'm just so annoyed by this lacklustre rollout.

I feel like it’s honestly pretty similar but there’s usually just a bit of more online presence with more posts/articles/interviews/ etc

 

and usually a lot more singles to build hype too - which I get not wanting to release 5 singles before an 11 track album but I feel like we should have got at least LMLYLAW/COCC and white dress and another song before, just because the length between now and the COCC single was soooo long

 

or it should have been released in late January/early February

What if she didn’t flop on that Annie Mac interview...would they have done a better roll out?

 

It’s so weird. It’s not like the pandemic thwarted their plans either

Ben and Ed actually suck. I get that Lana probably doesn't want to do traditional promo (radio interviews, etc.) but there are still other ways to promote an album. Like they could've put up a billboard or two at the very least. I feel like the general public and casual listeners aren't even aware that she's releasing an album.

Honestly probably. I think that controversy just put her off completely as It was the first time she’s really spoke publicly since QFTC and it was just...a disaster. So I think she was probably just over it 

[honeybadger 40,620]

the rollout feels somewhat fitting for the album tbh. quiet and subtle and only really there for those who it's meant for, for those who need it. 

 

but also i wish we had more interviews and photos and everything because its so good i need everyone to know right now  

[honeybadger 40,620]

also was the annie mac interview really even a disaster outside of this website and probably twitter? or do i just not remember that time at all, likely the latter

kind of? it wasn't as big as qftc but it started to gain traction on twitter that very same day. it was until she cleared herself up and then all the comments stopped. tbh i found the interview confusing but it made me really mad when people said like lizzy get back on your meds or something like that which is just so wrong. 

[Churchome Rep 3,383]

Ever since QFTC, the tide has been against her in the US. Annie Mac interview did nothing to fight back the Lana Del Reycist memes. But also, COCC is the opposite style of the music that’s making her popular amongst that 14-21 demo (Queen of Disaster, Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight etc)

4 star review from a French magazine called Telerama, I typed it out into Google translate from a picture lmao:
 

 

Graceful melancholy, art of quotation, intelligent arrangements ... The intriguing American honors the legacy of her models Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks.
 

There was a before and after Norman Fucking Rockwell, in 2019. The pop diva with evanescent vocals, revealed by Video Games, perfection of frozen pop song, finally emerged from this cocoon of little purring and the force of romanticism by which we struggled to to be touched. Lana Del Rey, contrary to what was predicted, did not slowly evaporate. An intriguing personality, marrying in a disconcerting way the height of manufactured glamor with texts and a determined girl's point of view, she has always invoked references of tastes whose sincerity can no longer be questioned.
 

If Chemtrails Over the Country Club, by continuing its aesthetic line, benefits from a repeated listening interest thanks to its predecessor, it does not take long to become self-sufficient. Lana Del Rey even beautifully crosses a new milestone in her conquest of a status of major artist and author, worthy of the models - women, as feminine and sensitive as they are strong and sharp - that she claims: Joan Baez, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell.

"Lana Del Rey, between nostalgia for a bygone era and modern writing."

This definitive takeoff is revealed in the middle of the album, with Not All Who Wander Are Lost, followed by Yosemite, where the artifices (arrangements, production) remain behind to let the singer finally advance without a net in the skin of a great folk woman carried by her words, her emotions, her interpretation. Her voice, with the affirmed fragility, is familiar with these artists of Laurel Canyon whose heritage she honors. While maintaining her Tarantino-esque art of overplaying the quote and a passionate nostalgia for a bygone era - the Hollywood of dreams and the rock scene, free and emancipated, of yesteryear, she stages, with experience helping, her graceful melancholy of modern woman, both fierce and frightened.

"Are these my good years or do I have none?" she wonders in Breaking Up Slowly, in the middle of a magical sequence of tracks that lead, behind the celebratory Dance Till We Die, to the perfect conclusion: a delicate cover of Joni Mitchell's For Free, supported by Weyes Blood, which is self-evident. Afterwards, all that remains is to listen to the entire album again, with a new ear, transporting the first titles by this beautiful and restless journey to which we are invited. - Hugo Cassavetti

 

 

He highlighted the entire second half of the album.
