On March 23, 2023 a new album was made from famous pop singer, Lana Del Rey. Her album features 16 new songs such as 01. The Grants, 02. Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, 03. Sweet, 04. AW, 05. Judah Smith Interlude, 06. Candy Necklace, 07. Jon Batiste Interlude, 08. Kintsugi, 09. Fingertips, 10. Paris, Texas, 11. Grandfather Please Stand on The Shoulders of My Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing, 12. Let the Light In (fear. Father John Misty), 13. Margaret (feat. Bleachers), 14. Fishtail, 15. Peppers (feat. Tommy Genesis) and 16. Taco Truck x VB. There are many people that collaborated with her to make this album, many of which are potentially drama influences in her life. 

“This album reunites Del Rey with trusted collaborator Jack Antonoff, who is producing the record alongside Mike Hermosa, Drew Erickson, Zach Dawes, and Benji,” Consequence Sound said, “The record will feature collaborations with Jon Batiste, Bleachers, Father John Misty, Tommy Genesis and SYML.”

For better or worse, they added their touched to her songs and they must have done something right because it is clear that this is on track to become one of her most famous albums yet. This album, much like many others has an album cover that portrays something akin to sensual and provocative. 

“The provocative album artwork feels reminiscent of Born to Die-era Lana, but with the black and white aesthetics of Ultraviolence.” Consequence Sound said, “It’s very moody and highly melodramatic, which isn’t particularly surprising coming from Del Rey, but it definitely feels like a slightly different space from the cozy, homier looks of Blue Bannisters and Chemtrails over the Country Club.”

Along with her official album cover there are other special addition album covers that feature much more revealing than ever seen before. Safe to say, this album is the right combination of similar and contrasting to her other albums. This album has many emotions mixed in and shows so much variation and diversity that it stands out from the crowd.

“Entirely at its own pace, this album gets weirdly sweet, weirdly sour, weirdly beautiful, weirdly harrowing. Lana raises the curtain with ‘The Grants,’ a memorial ballad about a family (hers) who likes to sing John Denver songs (“Rocky Mountain High”), but despite the gospel choir she hired to join in, there’s a certain chill pushing against the song’s implicit warmth, as if death is near,” Washington Post said.

All of her songs have something in common that has raised controversy among her fans. There is much more whispering and more gentle sounding. It involved editing and it sounds as though she stands in front of a crowd and just sings her heart out. The pattern of these songs is classically endurable and can make you sit in a trance where you lose track of time, which can be seen as such an honor to artists. 

“Some of the lyrics on this album are so good, they almost don’t need to be sung,” according to Washington Post said, “here she is on ‘Fingertips,’ trying to take a step back from contemplating motherhood and the inevitability of death: ‘It wasn’t my idea, the cocktail of things that twists neurons inside.’”
