Do you think lana played a persona/character throughout the born to die era? since yesterday, i started to think that she may did… ? Question mark

 

edit: i thought that way just bc reading off the comments from 2011/12 interviews… but her lyrics are too real life to be much of a persona/shtick (except loli and off to the races which are the only ones i doubt abt its origin story off the album)

I don't think she played a character but to be honest, the whole Born To Die album is a satire of the American Dream. Some of the serious songs are obviously based on her real life when she was a teenager and her Lizzy days but the album as a whole feels like a satire of the American Dream, pop culture and female stereotypes - kind of almost like Marina's Electra Heart which is also probanly the reason these two albums were always compared to each other then.

Are you talking about the lyrics or the way she behaved then? I was talking abt the latter : )

I was talking about the era in general (lyrics, photoshoots and music videos). But about her behaviour, I don't think that she played a character, like in interviews or live shows. It was her first time being in the public eye, in the centre of the media, so she was just very shy and her behaviour may have looked like awkward. She has said before that she never needed a character or persona for herself when she could've had.

I admire the way she always keeps an eye on her overall work of art. There are so many ways to step in the wrong direction, but Lana seems to know exactly where she wants to go. She always has the big picture in mind.

I don’t think Lana performs that many songs off Ocean Blvd because many of them are so painfully personal and self revealing. They can be difficult to sing every other night, maybe they’ll be performed later when she has some distance to them.

The producer of "Strangelove" said this on his 10-year-old Soundcloud link to the song:

 

@/itsjoshiebitch: thank you! I don't actually have access to another version of this; iirc, she created this on the spot with us and then later it seems that other version was made. :-)

 

Not sure what that means for the demo. Makes it sound like it's actually a later version?

 

He also said that he lost the stems to the song in a server crash.

Reached out to Robert Logan and got some more info.

 

The 4:00 version of the song is the first version of the song, created on the spot with Logan. He told me he knows the other version (3:47) of the song exists but had no part in it and didn't know if it was fanmade or done by another producer.

I say this in the gentlest and most caring possible way but Lana is looking the best she has since 2014 for me personally. She’s otherworldly beautiful. I do not understand how can someone be this beautiful to the point that I feel like I’m sleeping within a simulation. I just saw an interview and was nearly brought to tears. I kissed this girl it’s insane. I love her so fucking much

[rocknrollgroupie 4,199]

Ugh since last year when i saw Lana live for the first time ive been dying to see her again. I feel like hearing Withou You live would heal me fr. Praying there will be more dates announced

Lana is one of the most popular artists listened during sex

https://consequence.net/2024/06/deftones-popular-during-sex/

Quote

Deftones are No. 1 when it comes to metal acts, and No. 3 overall, behind The Weeknd (No. 1) and Kanye West (No. 2). In fact, Deftones are the only metal or hard rock act in the Top 10 overall acts, appearing alongside such other artists as Drake, Lana Del Rey, and Kendrick Lamar.

I read today that Lana, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are the only women to have sold over 1 million albums in the US this year. It's crazy to think she reached this level of commercial success.

I don't even know where to put this (mod please mod if this is the wrong place?), but I came across this article on my FB feed this morning: https://blog.ziphealth.co/music-during-sex/

 

 

This is just the Lana related stuff, but it was honestly quite interesting

Does anyone miss when she would perform cola? I understand why she retired it but I just want to know if anyone misses it.

Yes, she should change the Harvey part to Lucy's In The Sky With Diamonds. It would be The Beatles reference and she loves them, idk how it would make sense in the context but it would be a Lana song overall

[Lasso 10,003]

She could sing anything instead of H*rvey, but I think she doesn't do it anymore because of principles and not just because of that one lyric.

I still miss it though  it's her hottest song

Oh, I’m not going on about any cancelling or etc- I just think her team needs to tighten up in her collaborations.Especially when there was rumours before some of the news was released- the industry does talk so somebody could alert her surely?

I don’t even know these people did all of this sh!t  until I came to this forum/thread. Thanks… I guess. You just ruined my perception of these artists . The GP doesn’t know or simply does not care about this. I mean Carti has a top 12 song on Apple Music US as we speak. Didn’t he also sub headline Coachella and headlined a bunch of festivals recently? He’s booked and making hits. It’s not big enough news for the GP to be aware of it, to know of it, or to care of it.
 

And If I don’t even know it, I doubt “her team/L4na” knows  . You expect “her team” or L4na to background check every single person she works with? . That’s not realistic. If L4na was working with Br!tney’s dad or endorsed the IDF in her new song, now that would be problematic currently.

Yes I’d expect them to know- it’s not unknown knowledge and if you know someone I’d certainly Google them- takes 10 seconds of your time.

Background checks should be the standard of all decent management
