You can’t go from Arcadia to the interlude and go back to « slow-building ballads » again: what would be the point of the interlude then? 

Well, considering that the only thing that's blue during this era are our balls... not even the banisters in the cover are...

If BBS is anything like LFL, then we have three options.

1) it's a political song.

2) it has a trap beat.

3) it features The Weeknd, Stevie Nicks, Sean Lennon, A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti all together + recorded through a sheet of paper for texture on the vocals 

 

The only thing that gives me pause is that I'm not really expecting LFL-inspired trap elements from Erickson and Dawes who co-wrote the song. Trip hop, jazz, rock or even electronica (or perhaps a mixture of all these)? Definitely.

i don't think she's dropping the "lana del rey" name, considering the fact that almost all of the people in her life call her that, i think she feels more like that's her name than lizzy/elizabeth

 

i think they meant the "end of lana del rey" more figuratively

 

Tea bestie. It's kinda like how when she orders coffee from Starbucks, you can see 'Lana' scribbled on the cup. Same with her birthday cakes, they all say 'Lana'. If anything I thought it would've made more sense for her to go by Elizabeth Grant for the publication of her poetry since it's not tied with her musical career or Interscope, but she still kept Lana

maybe it's more like "freak" or "art deco"? they have trap beats/influence, yet they're more lush & regal

Whatever it is, I bet it's a great song! her tracks #5 are always amazing

Freak is probably Lana's sexiest song. I'm not sure what BBS is about, but if it's in the same vein as Freak...  My goodness!!!

freak like me is seriously one of her best demos... if it's anything like that... we're in for a SERVE

Haha true! And I agree with you. You can't put an interlude that leads to...nowhere. It's a build-up. 

 

@Surf Noir may be right though. If it does have trap elements it may be closer to something like Freak or Art Deco than Summer Bummer.

I can't make up my mind on this, but do y'all 

think Text Book works as an opening track? 

 

 

 

 

No. We're so used to have some magnificent intros always opening the albums.  But maybe it'll probably make more sense as the opener once we have the album in full.  I hope.

it's the end of lana del rey because she will change her name back to sparkle jump rope queen

[Fart Deco 12,722]

BBS will be HBTB emo sister

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

So basically Arcadia is her last single ever released with Interscope? No wonder why she paired it with Video Games (her first single with Interscope) and wrote a sentimental caption on her insta post. I think that if Lana chooses to go to an indie label (or even start her own label), it would be good. She clearly has more music to get off her chest and this way she'll have even more artistic freedom that Interscope might not have allowed her to do (remember how she fought for UV until they caved?)

doesn't lana technically own a record label called "coney island hot dogs"? maybe i'm right about her return to surf noir
