[bluechemtrails]

still good after about twenty listens. listen to it with your heart

''Zach Dawes introduced us because he thought we would have a great creative spark'', Batiste said in a recent interview with NME.

 

Imagine thinking Lana would have a creative spark with a Colbert sidekick who makes corny boomer music for people who think Macklemore is better than Kendrick Lamar.

Other than Barrie, her father, and Emile, no collaborator has been able to make her shine on an album not her own

Not hold on why is this song growing on me I - 

[jimmyjimmycocoapuff]

"this was a song" - ajayii

ok so at the beginning i kind of hated this one, but as the song progressed, it got a tad better. just a bit.

the piano ballads on ocean blvd were honestly better constructed, and ik most of you want her to stop with the ballads, but i dont mind them.

this one however didn't have much of a melody, it was very flowly and ethereal, i guess? it kind of transported me. my feelings are mixed, but i give it a 3/5.

This is sublime. Jon sounds gorgeous as well. She is so above and beyond whatever box or category you want her to satisfy.

So far I like his parts more than hers ?? haven't really made up my mind about it yet. I had actually no idea what his voice sounded like, as in candy Necklace you can hardly hear him. I thought he was just a piano artist ??

[spencertaureanmartin]

Why is this actually a good song??

they ate it up

[Dark Angel]

personally, i don't really care for it, it feels... disjointed, also, i hate how muffled lana's vocals are here, especially in comparison to the instrumental and jon's vocals, it may have worked better on heroin or get free, but here, it stands out too much, but not in a good way

 

i'm happy for everybody who enjoys it though!

The song is MEH. Another quickly put together piano track with an not-so-interesting melody,  average vocals and unsurprising, safe arrangements. 

 

Another addition to Lana's ever-expanding piano ballad pile that I never touch.  

[bluechemtrails]

regarding the 'muffled voice': I think it's less muffled like in Margaret, but it gives her voice again warmth and vulnerability, so it fits good actually

[Rivers]

Colbert side kick? The guy is as New Orleanian as it gets.

1.)Jon is extremely talented. His piano style is entirely original.

2.)The lil Wayne song is a far cry from any type boomerism.

3.)the Macklemore - Lamar claim you made is just something you made up in your head which has no semblance to reality, or the general populous' tastes and beliefs

 

 

[Embach]

I love this song, it reminds me of a ballad from the 1980s

I agree, Jon's vocals were crystal clear but Lana's sounded like there was a carpet between her mouth and the microphone. And that's kind of the only thing that bothers me from her current music, especially when she works with Drew Ericson or Zach Dawes, her vocals are like that.

Lana Del Rey has a "beast" songwriting process, says Jon Batiste (The A.V. Club)

  Quote

“It wasn’t something that we planned,” Batiste continued. “She was finishing her record (Tunnel) and I was starting my record. She came into the studio and then all of a sudden we started making a bunch of stuff. It was happening in real-time.”

Oh please. That song is Lana on autopilot. It's more of a background noise than a song. Repetitive and boring. 

 

 

[Americen Whore]

I wonder if this is the last song we’ll get this year or the unreleased album
