A Decade of Lana Del Rey: The Artist Talks Diarist Pop and Upholding Her Truth — Variety - December 2, 2021

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,803]

It’s surreal seeing Lana mention so many of her records in one interview! I never thought I’d hear her say which record she deems as her best, either!

 

I wonder if she has any intentions of topping NFR! for her own standards or if she’s content with the quality of work she’s generated & solely making music for the fulfillment of it (aka “playing real good for free”)

 

For me, at least, Blue Banisters almost felt like Lana delivering a breath of relief for telling her narrative without any room for further explanation. In short, it was a clarification and confessional piece chronicling her life. 
 

Now that she’s set her story straight (so to speak), I can’t help but wonder where she’s headed next. Will we get a “day in the life” view of Lana’s world like with NFR, or should we expect something different? Either way, I’m ready

“There were moments while I was making ‘Honeymoon,’ moments while mixing ‘Ultraviolence,’ then writing ‘Norman Rockwell!’ and producing my own album, ‘Blue Banisters,’ that all stand out to me,”

 

wait she produced blue banisters? i think she means co-produced with complete creative control. which..explains a lot ab some of the production choices. icon of individuality

And these are all of her best records.

not very deep article, just a lot of trivial facts that we already know

Lana calling NFR her best album when some of you like to pretend that she doesn't care for it that much

NFR is an amazing album before the fact because as she has said, what’s there to not like about it?

The cheap production and the at-times generic and uninspired lyrics come to mind

I didn’t realize diarist was even a word until now. I wouldn’t describe her music as “diarist” until NFR tbh when she started writing shit that no one understands but her and her circle of friends/family

“loved-up, ominous lyrics” is THE Lana mood to me
