This def sounds like it was recorded in 2021. I mean this in the most neutral way possible but you can hear that she was plus-size when she sang this. It’s fierce

I think it’s a conscious decision to change the tone of her voice for different songs, I don’t think the year makes much of a difference, I strongly suspect she still has the vocal clarity and agility (think about Blue Skies) to sing how she did in BTD and Ultraviolence (e.g shades of cool). But she is also like over a decade older, and probably just wants to adapt it to suit her age. 
Can’t be doing that baby voice when you’re almost 40. (You deffo can, but it does not have the same effect).

Totally. 

someone said in here once (I tended to disagree but now I’m like ehh maybe they’re right) that her falsetto is a little weaker and it could be age + vape-related. It’s complete speculation. I don’t know her and I’m not a doctor.

 

Someone else in this thread said that they prefer her singing in her lower register and I tend to agree - I am a huge fan of when she gets down into a lower range. I melt 🫠

 

regardless I think she sounds great still, and I’m gonna stream everything she makes

I'm 33 and can make myself sound identifiably 16 lol

[dexter 2,612]

wow this is so good 

is the producer Mike Dean or someone else? 

 

I think this was recorded at the same time as all about Ethel (I have no proof to that claim just a gut feeling)

I love the lower, thick register too. The opening lines of Radio. Oceans of melting honey.

Abel, Mike Dean, Metro Boomin and DeHeala produced the song.

And Genius notes Florence+TM on backing vocals in a song with Travis

That is Florence, confirmed by Albels team 

[littleredpartydress 49,929]

ok come on vocals..

 

at first I was like erm is this it but I like it

[paradisetropico 8,028]

it feels like i am bathing in her vocals. it’s HAUNTING. 

kinda reminds me of the lullaby she did at the Met Gala - it’s rare tbh we hear her sing like this with these beautiful synths 

[jaesana 4,612]

Now we need the tour song opener…. back to the top 

[honeymoon is alive 24,287]

abel just announced his 2025 tour, start the prayers for them to perform this song live

[HeadBitch 7,318]

Lmao, 00:00 until 03:18 gave cute-mix-of-melodies-intro for a Lana verse  like, his vocals blended with the instrumental a bit too much or something

[Mediumfrypls 12]

Her voice is so out of this world, I just wanted more

[Pink Flamingo 17,210]

Lana singing the second verse with the those beats would’ve killed me 

[vicdelrey 1,078]

she sounds like a siren, like an angel from the sky 

[Mer 64,362]

“The Abyss (feat. More Lana Del Rey)” when, Abel???

[blueskiesforever 710]

Didn’t like it much at first but now I’m 

[GeminiLanaFan 50,025]

I remember when he first started teasing The Abyss months ago and I loved this song already… it’s the one I preferred out of all the snippets or singles. But i was so tired this morning I didn’t even recognize that it was the same song. I was too excited for Lana’s part  Way to go, Abel, have Lana feature on your best song
