Lana Del Rey Covers Grazia Magazine

[leaked_version 10,499]

January 2016 it is then!

 

Interesting how she thought she went too far in writing Ultraviolence...I wonder if she means the production or the lyrics or (probably) just putting FMWUTTT on the album. I hope she is still proud of it but either way it's a really important record to me and it looks like it at least inspired her to create, whereas after Paradise she was all about retirement and shit.

Or Black Friday. OMG get those first week sales, Lana!!!!!

 

I actually don't think that she went too far with the lyrics, especially not with FMWUTTT. I mean.besides that line there is nothing that screams too personal for me.

[Bae 565]

So excited. Interscope will obviously put it for later than August.

I wonder if we'll get to hear songs from the new album during this tour

[Rem 2,392]

Ultraneverhappen is dead and buried.

 

There's been almost no support for the album since june because she's moved on and working on another album already.

 

Also we can expect a new single soon during the tour perhaps.

[BlueJeans 2,608]

I think she meant "I went too far with FMYUTT cause people began asking "is it true??" etc,. And I should have said no and moved on"

Not that she doesn't like the album anymore...

+ also when she was asked if she was actually in a physically violent relationship because of UV's lyrics.

 

Anyway, was the interview fully translated somewhere? I did not have the patience to read the Google translation, it's too messy

New Album: Ultraviolence Hawaiian metal Edition (Lizzy's back bitch).

The female Kurt Cocaine   

I guess that's what she always dreamed to be

Part 2 (also I edited my previous post)
 
 

You seem to like evoking the 50s imagery in your songs: the golden age of recording studios, ladies singing late at night with their big band…
Yeah, I love it. I love nightlife, the mood that comes from it. That’s why I wanted to meet Mark Ronson: I played him ten songs I just composed for this next album. Not so much that he added his usual signature, soul and funk, but rather it explores a sound close to the golden age of jazz. I wasn’t even born in the 50s but I feel like I was there. And when I still was living in New York, I was looking for this dream, maybe some other girls had the same, to live as a singer in a jazz club where I could sing some standards, but my own compositions too. I had a very ‘romantic’ vision of what a singer’s life should be. I daydreamed about tours in Europe, just like Chet Baker did, for example.
 
You like drama, right? You find it attracting?
I don’t. I came in [the music business] without any drama in me. But immediately, things started to get heavier.
 
Isn’t it strange to be nostalgic of an era you never lived?
Yes, yes it is and it might be the reason why I never really had a lot of friends -only those who feel, just as me, connected to the past and the future at the same time. And we are not many out there. I’m firend with James Franco… He’s one of the very few people I feel like really linked to the past, the actors of the past, the California of the 60s, and the New York of the 70s.
 
You grew up in a small town near the Adirondacks. Do you miss the places of your childhood?
Yes… The house is full of memories. It’s hard for me to come back there… I did two weeks ago, I was coming from New York, for the first time in four years. My room hasn’t changed. There’s the same poster as ever pinned on the wall, but everything seemed much smaller to me…
 
You did a cover of ‘The Other Woman’, which was already famous for Nina Simone’s interpretation. The song is about a love triangle. But your version isn’t very clear: we don’t know which point of view, which ‘other woman’ you finally are in the song. So, I’m asking you: who are you? Are you the wife, the mistress, or even the husband himself?
I always wanted to cover this song. I’ve been constantly listening to it for years. It’s interesting to see an ambiguity in the lyrics… (she starts humming a bit of it) I think I’ve always been ‘the other woman’ in a sense, well at least I always felt this way. I don’t necessarily wanna be at the edge of everything, but it’s a fact, I’m a kind of outsider. I’m always the one who stands outside of the circle. Even in my private life, I often feel like overwhelmed by what happens around me. That said, I already played the part of the normal girlfriend, the more ‘legitimate’ one…
 
Do you feel like you are the spectator of your own life?
More and more. With the Internet, now, when you are with someone else, it’s very different. People do not know you only from what you chose to tell them, they know you from what they’ve heard, seen or read on the Web. This is undeniable, especially when I meet someone for the first time.
 
Even so, are you loyal?
I want to be and I think I am in my heart. If I find someone I love, I will probably love them for ever. I am a very faithful person, emotionnaly, I offer all my trust. But I’m always careful. Because I always see like red flags around everyone new I tend to meet. Finally, I think I like people with a constant temper the best. I don’t want any more surprises in life.

Are you a control freak?
No, not really… OK, I totally am! (she laughs) When I have a sound or a mood in mind, even for a very simple song, sometimes I have to fight to get precisely what I wanted. But I try to chill. Otherwise I’d be doing the same things over and over again… And that’s not what I like in music.

Do you think you’re impinged by your perfectionism sometimes?
All the time. When I tour, for example… It’s painful for me to sing the same songs every night.

Did you ever want to give up, to erase all this and start afresh?
I have often thought about that, but I can’t. I’m famous.

So, the fame is like a burden for you?
It makes things more complicated than they used to be… I can’t do wathever I want, whenever I want anymore. Now even my hobbies, my other interests are planned. Apart from my private relationship with my family, everything is public. Even my phone calls: I can’t be sure they’re not listened to. You can’t even imagine what people already stole. Basically, excepting my memories and my imagination, there is nothing really private left to me! (she laughs before pausing for a moment) I am a very shy person, maybe even pathologically shy, and being famous doesn’t improve that. I like hanging out, dining in a restaurant, but it became almost impossible for me. Everyone has a phone or a camera… This is odd to say, but that’s what my daily life is made of. I’m always being photographed, even when I’m buying aspirin. Obviously I should have known better. But it is also true that when I started singing, when I was 20, the world was very different. It’s not easy to be quiet now. I never suffered from that; but I must be careful. There are many strange people out there. (she laughs again) I swim carefully in new waters.

I'm excited for the new album yet sad because of the wasted potential of Ultraviolence

 

Whatever a new album full of SOCs, MDMs and TOWs

[Godsandlana 153]

I think it's the best interview we got from the Ultraviolence era so far. We learn tons of new things and she's not prostrate in her usual statements. Also, a lot of clues about what could come next.

[ofcharsky 163]

her best ps since nylon

[ilovetati 15,299]

Jazzy rock with surrealist lyrics produced by Mark Ronson

 

This woman is really solidifying her place as a music legend with this discography of hers.

[Trash Magic 28,452]

 

 

It's painful for me to sing the same songs every night.

Switch up ya damn setlist then. Watch as the Endless Sumemr tour comprises of Blue Jeans, Video Games, National Anthem and Summertime Sadness

[ConeyIslandQueen262 1,068]

We don't have a video of this interview but somehow she appears quite happy and content to me.

Instead of listing all the negative aspects of a public life or complaining about shitty journalists again it seems like she took a little time for herself and learned that it's ok to make mistakes as long as you know how to deal with them and that it's important to move on. 

 

I'm kinda sad about her reflection of Ultraviolence. Although this era started in such a nice way, it was all messed up in the middle and then completely pushed aside in the end. I guess I have realized now that she didn't do this on purpose but simply couldn't handle it all anymore. Unfortunately, I'm also pretty afraid that this unique album will be forgotten.

 

No matter what her descriptions of her new writing style really make me sooooo excited. I'm not expecting this album to happen in August but as long as I know that she's not planning on quitting music again I'm absolutely fine.

 

And Gawwwwd dammmn these photos 

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

It's nice to hear something else apart from the usual feminism/authenticity/Auerbach stuff. I'm sad that she seems so done with Ultraviolence though, it had so much potential yet was unfulfilled.

 

Ah well, here's to new music! Hopefully it'll be about new topics instead of the same guys she sings about in pretty much every song.

[Angel Forever 146]

UV is dead

We definitely should expect it for 2016...

[Neptune-Avenue 220]

R.I.P pretty when you cry video....i was really

holding out for that one..

[DominicMars 1,764]

If she's sick of playing the same damn songs, she needs to change her setlist even slightly, seriously.

[strange weather 1,954]

If she's sick of playing the same damn songs, she needs to change her setlist even slightly, seriously.

 

it's frustrating because we know she has so many other songs she could put in her setlist. she's not limited in any sort of way when it comes to song selections. what's her deal? embrace your entire catalog, lana!

[LifeisBeautiful 152]

I really liked this article (now that it's been properly translated) and it further confirmed for me that Lana has never really wanted fame.  I can see her ending up like Kate Bush or something.
