Lana del Rey, any fans here??

Lana live Werchter

Finally saw Lana del Rey last weekend, at Werchter Classic in Belgium. Her vocals were on top, she the high notes like it was nothing. Too bad though that the majority of the crowd came for The Boss and were acting like jerks during her performance.

I really love her music. It so cinematic, Twin Peakslike, melancholic. Shades of cool gets me everytime, the lush arrangement, the swooping vocals.

Just asking any fans here? And what's your fave song, album by her??

Hello starbuck

Fav album A light-skinned auburn-haired woman is dressed in a sheer white blouse and a red bra, and is staring forward before a blue-skied background. The words "Lana Del Rey" are placed above her while the words "Born to Die" are placed beneath her, stylized in all capital letters.

fav song National Anthem love the video too.

To be honest i don't have her other 3 albums yet but will be getting them soon.

To add love this song too

Her voice is so unique that's what drawn me to her in 2012. cool

Yep - big fan. Her music sounds like a modern day soundtrack for some film noir.

Loving the current Honeymoon album.

I can't really say I'm a "fan" because I don't know much of her music. However, her song "West Coast" is so good! I can never listen to it just once. I'm also a big Disney person, so I love her version of "Once Upon a Dream" for Maleficent.

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜

I am a fan of her music. My favorite is the Ultraviolence album, especially the sequence of the first 5 songs peaking with the ultraviolet West Coast.

Thanks for your replies,

I forgot to include my own favorite album razz

It's hard to choose a favorite album as each one has its own mood. I tend to go for Ultraviolence though. Because of the psychedelic touch it has (and more guitar sounds).

I bought Born to die on release but really started paying attention to it 2 years back. Slowly but surely her music has imbedded itself in my mind.

Also love the fact that there are demos floating around.

Also heard she's already working on a new album smile

Identity

I follow her career closely. There are some genuine works of art on my most loved collection by her, Ultraviolence , for instance, the hypnotizing "West Coast" and "The Other Woman".

Lana Del Rey does to me what David Lynch used to do with his surreal, non-linear neo-noir flicks (Mulholland Dr, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks...)

Like you said starbuk, she's cinematic and very intriguing. Ultraviolence is her finest album so far IMO.

I read some of your first thread. Liked your comments and questions but just chose not to read all the posts due to getting worn out with the depressingly commonplace misogyny that rears it's head when women artists are discussed ( see Madonna threads too). Females with power like Lana are trashed mercilessly.

I want to say people just won't let her live down her SNL debut, but at least critics are starting to come around. She even made the year end Pazz and Jop Critics Poll for "Ultrviolence".

Yeah, she did especially because she happened to come from a rich family so I guess people didn't like that.

I do have to admit her live singing has gotten WAY better as of late.

Not a fan at all, but are you saying she was on the same bill as Bruce Springsteen?

Talk about making a mistake, LOL.
