Dealer, Black Bathing Suit and Thunder being the most streamed non-singles as they should be 

[Let the Light In 18,865]

Ayone has an idea why the last song is called Sweet Carolina not Sweet Caroline? So that it is not confused with the Neil Diamond song or is it Caroline+Lana?

[5Rick 2,925]

The numbers are quite good! And the album is also doing good worldwide

fine china perhaps 

 

'Fine China' is indeed superior.

Am I the only one here who prefers 'Beautiful' over 'Violets for Roses'?

4 stars from Rolling Stone!

 

Lana Del Rey Goes Deeper Than Ever on ‘Blue Banisters’

Her second album of the year is dense and abstract, turning inward and finding solace in sisterhood
