>it's the year 2019 and Lana del Rey is purported as an artist you have to 'get'



Exactly. It shouldn't be hard, but damn if yall don't stumble over some imaginary problems with this perfectly fine album.



Obviously stemming from you being intimidated by a strong woman.

Why are you so invested in the patriarchy? Because you feel threatened.

I can see this bizarrely controversial thread is still going strong.

lana del rey has always finessed this weird feeling of everything she does musically being enclosed within quotation marks but this is the first time I really feel like the chords and melodies completely enforce that sense. "venice bitch" is awful for that reason. how can anyone listen to the chord progression lining "You're in the yard, I light the fire / And as the summer fades away / Nothing gold can stay" and feel like "yeah this is genuine" idk idk


Can you elaborate on this @robertsona because I have no idea what you’re getting at here. Are you accusing her of plagiarism?

honestly even though I blanched at your response initially plagiarism isn't so far off from what I'm claiming lol. my sort of controversial maybe sort of dumb take here is that when she took on jack antonoff (sorry!! sorry I know I talk about him a lot) as a songwriter he really turned her into a classic california singer-songwriter ballady type but just like...I dont know every progression he writes and the way he links them together is so corny and throwback-y whereas at least there used to be SOME juice in songs like "west coast" and "shades of cool" and "off to the races" and "video games". it's like someone fed jackson browne through twenty five instagram [don't like associating lana del rey with instagram cuz wow how cliche but] filters. it feels so callback-y but not as good as the stuff it calls back to. just sucks. this is one of the few times where I feel like I can call chord progressions etc. IN AND OF THEMSELVES corny callback-y etc. not usually my game sincerely



i'm at work i'll have to think more about this
