We’ve found the general consensus of Honeymoon is that it initially appears boring, but similarly to Lust For Life it was definitely a grower, and we now consider it her dreamiest, most hypnotic album to date. Standout tracks: Religion, Blackest Day, Freak Side note: Gods And Monsters is back on Spotify! 2. However, it’s been almost seven years since Paradise was released, and we’re still here waiting for our sugar daddy to arrive. Paradise will always be special, our heart can’t help but skip a beat as soon as the instrumental for Ride begins.
We also can’t talk about Paradise without mentioning the trippy masterpiece that is Tropico, a short film starring Lana Del Rey as Eve and Shaun Ross as Adam. It’s sexier and and more scandalous, while still maintaining its classy composure. Although they are obviously sisters albums, the growth between Born To Die and Paradise is so prominent. Paradise really plays into a gloomy glamorous pop aesthetic with its organic instrumentals and clear, angelic melodies.
Lana re-released Born To Die as the Paradise Edition, which included nine extra tracks (including Burning Desire, a bonus iTunes track), but for this ranking we’re counting it as an individual album, as it certainly stands well on its own.
Nevertheless, it was refreshing to witness Lana ‘come out of the black and into the blue’ and Lust For Life appropriately reflects shifts within her and all of us as we’ve grown together. However there are also there are a few tracks that could have possibly been left out.
#BURNING DESIRE LANA DEL REY ALBUM FREE#
The album consists of what we would consider to be some of Lana’s all time best tracks – Love, Heroin,13 Beaches, Get Free etc. It’s a little overwhelming, as there is sense of pulling in different directions, what with all the collaborations, and it was definitely a grower. Her most mature and hopeful album yet, Lust For Life is a clear departure from her previous sound and is considerably less indulgent than its counter parts. Standout tracks: 13 Beaches, Heroin, Cherry Though it might not have aged as well as her other records, and feels very reflective of its time, it’s still a gorgeous album that we love to revisit every now and then. It really epitomises the sad-core aesthetic associated with those early Tumblr days we stuff to the back of our minds. Even now, when we listen to singles Video Games or Born To Die, there’s an intense sense of nostalgia. Theres something incredibly special about this era – it introduced a specific style the mainstream had never seen before, paving the way for the next generation of alternative pop girls like Billie Eilish and Halsey, and was very different from anything else the late 2000s and early 2010s had to offer. Standout tracks: Off To The Races, National Anthem, Dark Paradiseīorn To Die kickstarted Lana’s career and is possibly one of the greatest major-label debut albums of the century. Remember that music taste is subjective, so don’t hate us Lana stans, these are only opinions…. In anticipation of Norman Fucking Rockwell, we’ve ranked Lana’s albums from worst to best, including what we believe are her stand out tracks. She’s even teased a collaboration with Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus for the soundtrack to Charlie’s Angels. In the lead up to Norman Fucking Rockwell, she’s bestowed upon us Mariners Apartment Complex, Venice Bitch, Hope Is a Dangerous Thing, and a gorgeous cover of Sublime’s Doin’ Time.
Lana hasn’t left us high and dry, though. From our calculations, we’re guessing that means it will be out in late August or early September, so our fingers are crossed. Last month, while performing at a music festival in Spain, Lana told the crowd, “It’s coming out in two months”. It feels like forever since we were gifted with Lana’s last album Lust For Life, and we’ve all been patiently waiting (some more patiently than others) for the release of her upcoming sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell.ĭespite keeping very shtum, Lana has finally blessed us with some information. We don’t casually like Lana Del Rey’s music, we’re obsessed with it.
