strongly disagree. White dreess, Chemtrails (the song), Wild at Heart, Not all those who wander, Dance till we die, and dark but just a game are quite interesting lyrically. As for "thought provoking", it's a more subtle record for sure, but there's definitely food for thought. Maybe not so much in a philosophical sense but atmospheric, painting a picture.

 

i find Ultraviolence to be overrated lyrically tbh. Plenty of repetitive lyrics (sad girl, is this happiness, guns and roses), and button-pushing with no substance (money, power glory, fucked my way up...) in the second half. So, I wouldn't be attacking Chemtrails when there's UV. 

 

I agree with you which is so cool because we usually never do haha.

let's not joke about that unpunished will smith crime, please. It's horrendous, and he should have served time

 

also, no UV slander here. 😊 Still adore the record. I just don't think it's her strongest one lyrically and is a bit front-loaded

[Embach 34,032]

What are the chances she'll do a digital release only. I remember when Banisters was released and she did that one hour livestream on Instagram and she said that "my next album will be released only digitally" or something like that but as we know now, it wasn't a digital release at all. I do think that her team won't let her to do that because her vinyls sell like crazy and vinyls + other physicals would be beneficial for the label and the charts. But still I can see something random happening like this someday, whether it is with Lasso or not.

Maybe the covers / Christmas album was still happening when she said it? Cause I remember she meant to release this only digitally

Maybe but the last time she talked about that cover album was in 2020 and that Banisters livestream was in 2021.

 

Funny thing is that she's still silent about that cover album.

 

Edit: Wait, correct me if I'm wrong but maybe she talked about that cover album in 2021 as well, before deleting her Twitter. Didn't she post a photo of her standing in front of Capitol Records building and captioned something about recording the cover album?

She was talking about Ocean Blvd beacuse there were some issues with vinyl press.

You know which super old song of hers I love might actually sound good on Lasso? Aviation.

 

Anyone remember this track? I always thought it was brilliant. A country rework could sound fantastic.

I'm so desperate to know something about Lasso that I already find those fake songs made with AI interesting.

The one Lasso AI is actually good, the one called "Lasso - Extended version" or something

 

The one where it ends like

"Emmylou Harris

She's a lasso" 

 

I'm really hungry for Lasso now

Yeah, i posted that here originally. Soo good. Wouldn't mind it if Lana just made that song into her own. Would be a good little brother to Ride.

She spoke about the covers album also in Mojo in April 2021. Unfortunately, I didn't find this interview online, but an indirect mention:

Lana Del Rey has revealed that she’s recorded a cover album full of country songs. Speaking to MOJO (print edition), the singer said that in addition to the country covers album she’s got another collection of “other folk songs” waiting to be released.

Anyways Chemtrails is a flop Lasso is not but its cancelled so yes they both are flops.

Apart from what "insiders" say, what if many of the original songs have been retained? So let's say one third country covers, one third old folk and maybe only one third newly written songs?

Tbh I think that American Standards Classics and folk cover album and country cover album are 3 separate things, probably because the delulu in me wants 3 cover albums from her
