![]() It’s not hard to notice that her newer albums are quite different from her previous work, more personal and maybe less impactful, and I thought that it may be a time for us to part ways, but here I am, growing to love a lot of songs from BB and some from COTCC. She was truly the most influential artist of 2010s, Born To Die is an iconic album which beats records to this day, she definitely left a mark in popular music history. I think of NFR (which I absolutely love rn) as an end of a decade of Lana. But also at that time I joined Lana group on fb and finally started being active in fandom, which renewed my love for her. ![]() I gave it a try but didn’t like it at all, it reminded me too much of ballads from LFL which I disliked. I was so out of loop that I found out she released a new album (NFR in 2019) from a Tumblr gifset, lol. I also stopped around time LFL came out, I started listening to different artists and to her more occasionally. she is an evil woman but i will never forget the first time i listened to ‘off to the races’ and was like wow i genuinely had no idea music could sound like thisīy a long time I only listened to her and knew only basic info about her as a person, I have never read interviews or anything. Literally it cannot be overstated how much of an impact lana del rey’s born to die had on the pop culture landscape when it was released like something in the atmosphere shifted permanently. For me it can be perfectly summed up with this one Tumblr post: She’s a part of me and my childhood, and the only artist I regularly listen to and whose whole discography I know (ok, maybe besides Sirens, I do love her early stuff but I never really cared for this one). I don’t even remember when I started listenining to her, it’s just something I always did? My first ever liked YouTube video is Young and Beautiful, I wrote about her in my notebook from 5th grade when we were supposed to write about our favourite singer, I remember sitting in my room at night as a pre-teen and listening to her unreleased songs. I have very slightly less confidence in her artistic vision now due to her two most recent albums though. Like even with me being more obsessed in 2012-2014, I feel like I’ve been at a constant level of Lana fan status this whole decade where I just will never not be a fan unless she does something truly awful in character. That being said, I don’t feel like I’ve ever stopped being a fan or my fan card has ever decreased in any way. So I was super disappointed that her most recent albums weren’t clicking, and ironically, it made me post here more because I’ve been going back and forth between being disappointed and angry and trying to convince myself I like them lol. And it sucks, because everything she’s put out and all her unreleased music has always just clicked with me. I like COTCC more now than release, but Blue Banisters might be my least favorite release of hers ever. ![]() I got annoyed and probably my least happy I’ve ever been with her in 2020 with her Instagram controversies, meeting with fans with the jewel face mask during the pandemic when there were no vaccines, her filming herself while driving on what looked like a curvy mountain road, her repeatedly delaying albums, giving fake album release dates and titles, and false promises, and just her arrogant attitude.Īnd then I was really disappointed in both COTCC and BB. It’s my #2 favorite album of all time, and the NFR/Bartender/HIAB is one of my favorite music videos. When NFR finally came out, it reinvigorated my love for her. I was excited for and obsessed with LFL when it came out, I don’t like it much now.Īgain, I didn’t really follow her between eras, but I did listen to MAC, VB, and DT when they came out. I remember getting slightly less interested in 2015 with Honeymoon, not because I didn’t love the album or her, I think I was just distracted with other things. My interest was at its peak in 2012-2014 (through end of UV era) since I was a lonely, depressed, closeted teen with nothing better to do than to stan her and Britney online, and Lana was so unique and different compared to pop music at the time. She instantly drew me in and made me an obsessed fan back in 2012 when I was 13-14.
