No they just expected Chappell roan type of music for whatever reason

THIS SONG IS JUST SO CRISP AND CRYSTAL CLEAR!!! THIS SONG FEELS LIKE A WARM HUG!!!

 

This whole time when I was listening to this song I had a big smile on my face because it somehow made me feel so jolly and giddy but at the same time there was this wavering nostalgia around which can make you a bit melancholic.

 

This whole time I listened to the song, I pictured an image of LA or a Californian town where the sun is setting but in a way how you're facing the sunset and the sea with your back but you, yourself, are facing towards the road, seeing the highway and the houses and the rocky mountains in the golden light of the sunset - these are the new roads you're going to head and discover.

 

I think that the song told me that it's okay to move on AND miss those old times which were confusing and overwhelming. And I embrace it.

 

There are few main positive things I noticed when I listened to the song: the strings were so huge and clear, I'm so glad that they didn't sound muted, Drew did a great job with it. The piano in this song felt very Elton John-esque, as someone who listened to his ballads for years, I kind of recognized some of the piano play parts as very his. The orchestra really reminded me of Disney movies, especially those of the 1990s, it also sounded different from her other songs. It made the song feel very Christmassy or like very winter-y, which would've been a perfect for a January release in my opinion.

 

I didn't really instantly notice the melody similarities between Brooklyn Baby and Miley's Wrecking Ball but I do understand people's perspectives where they come from. Still, I think the song is as original as it is, the similarities aren't that noticeable.

 

None of Lana's other songs reminded me of Henry Come On to be honest. I think it's very Lana-esque and lyrically it really reminds me of her past three albums but I wouldn't tell that sonically it reminds me of a certain track. Maybe some of the pedal steel guitar or some elements reminded me of Margaret's production in that "when you know you know" part.

 

But the strings, which were very Disney-esque did remind me of stems from Love. While it was really different from her other orchestral music uses, I instantly recognized some of the violin twists from Love stems, at some point I thought they were sampled:

 

Overall, it's an amazing song with a beautiful production and great lyrics. Such a wonderful track - it's definitely my third favorite lead single right now, only behind West Coast and Video Games.

 

told ya. ❤️

im sorry but the music after chemtrails just all sounds the same, mostly boring, to me and i do dislike it 

 

just like Henry, its a another slow whispery ballad with minimal production im tired!! ocean blvd did have some nice songs (like Let the light in) but give me something grand, new, sonically different and huge again!!  

[Crimson and Clover]

Very nice country infused sound, reminds me of the Nashville sound with a nice mix of the traditional pop sound from Ocean Blvd  it sounds very similar to the newest Mitski album (Heaven comes to mind) that Drew also has worked on. I’m sure TRPWS will be a bit more diverse in its sound to separate itself, I’m excited to see what’s next

I think Henry is far from boring. This might become one of my favourite Lana songs (gag), but im sad you feel that way. Hopefully there’s tracks for everyone on Right Person

some of yall are lowkey crazy.. i think there’s a lot of people here who just think all ballads sound the same. because what do you mean you’re comparing henry to something like video games or old money lol

 

there’s a lot more that makes those songs unique. not just bpm girl 

 

and some of y’all lowkey miss the point on purpose girl 

[audreysdance]

this is anything but minimal production...

[Francesco Carrozzini]

I love the ending tbh

are you listening to the same song? minimal production? like yeah, it’s soft, but it builds. you’ve got the plucky guitar, that cinematic string section creeping in and then it's center stage, you've got harp, and even that little sand-shaker thing. it’s textural, it's layered, it's giving emotional swell!! production isn’t just about being loud or having a beat drop, it’s about arrangement, atmosphere, movement, and Henry has the range imo.

[wipeout]

Loove the production on this. The way she sings 
 

And it’s not because of you

that I turned out so dangerous 

Is fantastic. Excited to see how the track flows with the rest of the album 

[Cherry Blossom]

i’m so excited to listen to this with headphones

[Dark Angel]

i waited until morning to listen to it, so i'm going to listen to it now, i have no idea what to really expect, but i am sure i will really like it <3

I don't fully agree with this, but as somebody who also does not like ballads, I sorta understand. I like the lyrics, but it's not necessarily the type of song I would listen to endlessly. But I think that this is the type of music that Lana's gonna stick to, focusing more on her lyrics and trying to compell people as opposed to having hit song. I don't think the production was low, and it's good that she's writing for herself and her own happiness. Then again, given I don't like slow ballads, so this doesn't seem like the type of album I'm going to be as into. I like Hineymoon for the reason that the lyrics are true, but she incorporates more variety in the chorus' and verses.

yes, minimal production compared to -for example the mass layered Ultraviolence… like its not hard to understand why many people are put off by YET AGAIN such a soft whispery ballad with minimal production. her last three albums sonically sound very similar.

 

some fans (like me) just miss the time every album was vastly different sonically, like born to die (dark pop) to ultraviolence (psychedelic rock) to honeymoon (grand and cinematic, orchestral) etc etc etc

okay so, first off, i think it sounds like summertime sadness, but a more happier, lighter version of summertime sadness, it actually reminded me a lot of this particular demo

 

 

i think it's very nice, pretty bittersweet, so it almost made me want to cry, just thinking about things, and life... it certainly isn't one of her all-time greatest songs, but it's very solid and one i will enjoy for years to come, just like most of her other songs <3

it’s just so safe like c’mon her last three albums sound VERY similar sonically including the production, compared to her previous (early) work when every album sounded very different, new, exciting and fresh … i don’t get why some fans get angry when you point that out when it’s very valid criticism

minimal production? i’m sorry but you didn’t listen to the same song that i did.

 

and she literally gave us a&w (which was a totally new sound), fishtail, taco truck x vb and peppers in her last album, but you guys just love to say the same old damn thing every time she releases a new song

I agree with u on chemtrails being minimal but I think ocean blvd has a very unique production compared to what she’s done in the past

girl some soft drums, piano, guitar, a shaker and two violins are indeed minimal production 

 

A&W did have a totally new sound which is great, but it’s only half the song! only standout together with Taco from the album tbh

some fans (like me ) know that this is what shes been doing from the start. some fans (like me) love seeing her be vulnerable and raw in her writing.

 

before born to die she was doing the exact same thing shes doing now, shes an expert at it. her lyricism is gorgeous. 

 

i feel like people who say shit like this don't really like lana del rey. they just love the nostalgia that comes with her music they remember listening to. be open to change because this lana is not changing
