has lana EVER done this heavy of sampling? its kind of weird how much shes sampling other artists but she picked such beautiful songs so i honestly done care

I’m assuming it will be her most sample-heavy record to date, and I completely agree!

 

I understand why some people aren’t a fan of a ton of samples in general, but I don’t find it too different than a producer presenting Lana with a chord progression/instrumental and her assigning lyrics and a melody to it. I actually think it’s neat that she found a soundscape that resonated with her so heavily. 
 

Also, something interesting I thought about is that it’s cool seeing her incorporate more modern tracks into her work. She’s always integrated older pop culture references into her music, so it’s refreshing seeing her draw from music more present-oriented!

@Kintsugi said that the samples aren't as obvious as we might think. So she's probably reworked them a lot and/or their presence on the tracks is subtle.

I'm pretty sure there's tons of samples in Born To Die (album).

Edit: you can see some of them here https://www.whosampled.com/Lana-Del-Rey/

Why the hell hasn’t anyone prepared me for the fact the interludes are 8 fucking minutes long…..that’s grotesque.  I’m definitely gonna be deleting those from the album.

I for one am excited to hear a pastor scream at me for 4 minutes. 

[Fingertips 72,034]

I haven't listened to any of the sampled tracks yet, if @NikoGo says Fishtails is going to slay I'm so excited

It could double up as my alarm clock actually

Im actually really excited for the long interludes, it seems like they will make the album feel more like an intentional experience and journey

better than Clay begging lana to put the beat he made on BB oop

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,348]

Hey guys 👋,  haven't really payed attention since page 600, we can't be that far n-

 

 

900+ PAGES?!?!

 

I like the title "Fishtails" the most....wait, I was getting mermaid, glistening scales vibes at first, but now it reminds me of fishHEADS, like some grubby British fish market from the industrial revolution era with fish 🐟 heads in a bucket and meat clevers....eesh. Let's hope it's about mermaid tails

Will Lana make homophobia an aesthetic with this pastor interlude?

Agreed, although I already know that I'm changing the position of the Jon Batiste interlude to either: 1. Between Fingertips and Paris, Texas

or 2. Between Let the Light in and Margaret

 

I hate the Interlude - Song - Interlude structure so much that I don't care if I mess up the flow by changing it
