But what else? It, like Lana, is everything and nothing. Is it about a piece of fruit? Is it about innocence? Is it about her? Is it about sex? Is it about America? Of course it’s about America. She loves a single word track that’s at once vague and hyperspecific. This is a vintage Lana title, like “Cola” or “American” from Born to Die. It’s probably what she does every time there’s a news break about Russian election tampering or the reopening of coal plants. If the world caught fire around her, you can bet that Lana would just slowly dance on a rooftop with a cigarette in her hand. “When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing” Lana loves America and Americana and beauty so much. “God Bless America - And All the Beautiful Women in It” Lana would definitely sing about either.Ĩ. Doesn’t the image of a white mustang feel so eminently American? It could be the horse, striding through the Western plains, or it could be the car, some good old American muscle. Lana would have a song just called “Love.”Īmerica is an important theme in Lana’s music (more on that later). A$AP Rocky & Playboi CartiĮvery Lana song is kind of a summer bummer, isn’t it? Success and money are important themes in Lana’s music, so icon worship and “groupie love” are very on-brand, especially on an album called Lust for Life.ġ1. But you’re crazy, girl, so we’ll accept your reframing of time into an abstract concept instead of a linear progression for the sake of making a Beatles reference on a track featuring John Lennon’s son. If you’re saying that in the past tense, Lana, then it sounds like tomorrow did come. “Bad Liar,” “Fetish,” “In My Feelings.” See? This is definitely the least Lana song title, even if Lana is all about being in her feelings.ġ4. It’s more a new edition Selena Gomez title.
This one feels almost too contemporary to be a Lana song. So we have rearranged the Lust tracks from least to most Lana, with the understanding that all of them being tied for first place would also make a lot of sense.
It’s Lana like a gloomy June morning in Los Angeles, but also Lana like a golden Southern California sunset.
It’s Lana like saying the words “lust for life” with neither lust nor life in your voice. It’s Lana like “Blue Jeans.” It’s Lana like a hand-me-down Stevie Nicks scarf. And let us tell you: It’s very on-brand for Lana. Lana Del Rey’s album Lust for Life is almost here, and so America’s spirit-wisp envoy of the 1960s with a millennial twist has released the full track list for her coming LP.
