Blake Lee, Lana Del Rey's guitarist and music director, spoke about his first time meeting Lana in an interview for the release of his debut album

Recommended Posts

Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!

 

Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition. 

He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.

 

He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band. 

 

Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with. 

He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do) 

 

Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "

says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, 

Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing.

i wish it was as easy as lana just making an account here and giving us what we want. 

it sucks that it’s not that easy because it wasn’t just her who worked on the stuff and they would have to be paid/compensated :trisha:

the way this year would’ve been perfect for her to drop a B-Side version of UV. (10yr anniversary) and we could’ve been feeding off of that until LASSO comes next year.
