The 50 Best Lana Del Rey Songs (Rolling Stone)

Del Rey's “gangster Nancy Sinatra” artistic approach was striking, and her music set her apart even further, a mix of torch ballads, trip-hop, and classic ...

On “National Anthem,” Del Rey sings from the perspective of the “other woman” winning the battle in a love triangle, and standing strong in her power as the victor. In the “A” section of the rock ballad, the surf guitar is driving and tense, as Lana broodingly whispers about abandoning her lover for her career, tempted by the West Coast’s glitzy siren call. Accompanied by sparse, muted piano, the Lana here is somber as she laments the confusion of being “a modern-day woman,” only pushing up into the wavering fringes of her voice when she unstably sings of being a “goddamn sociopath” in the chorus. “Gods and Monsters” is Del Rey’s commentary on her experience entering the “garden of evil” of Los Angeles after the release (and success) of her debut Born to Die. “It’s a love story for the new age/For the sixth page/We’re on a quick, sick rampage,” Del Rey sings in the track’s bridge. In a song that unpacks the Lake Placid native’s struggles with addiction as a teenager in New York, she zeroes in on images like Pabst Blue Ribbon beers on ice and her friend’s “Bambi eyes” to create a critique of American girlhood. [“Love.”](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hear-lana-del-reys-anthemic-new-single-love-124695/) In the dreamy ballad, she delivers a straightforward message about the sacred innocence of being young and in love. The palpable desperation in Del Rey’s voice on “Fuck It I Love You” makes it one of the most powerful tracks on Norman Fucking Rockwell!. Del Rey has a well-earned reputation of playing the melancholic lover in her songs, but she flips the script in “Black Beauty,” an ode to a partner whose inner darkness stops him from seeing joy in the world around him. “Elvis is my daddy/Marilyn is my lover/Jesus is my bestest friend” may as well be a parody of early Del Rey lyrics, especially in such close proximity to both a Walt Whitman poem title and the phrase “drop it like it’s hot.” But that brashness helped make “Body Electric” a Paradise standout and a longtime fan favorite in Del Rey’s catalog. Backed by a soft drum beat, “How to Disappear” is about male archetypes who and come in and out of Del Rey’s life, telling her lies, doing as they please, and trying to “forget the things they fear” through addiction and violence. One of Del Rey’s most heartfelt songs, “Blue Banisters” reflects on the love of female friendship and how it has remained a constant in her life as men have come and gone.

Lana Del Rey Provokes But Does Not Explain on Did you know that ... (Consequence)

The singer-songwriter is poised to release her ninth studio album this coming Friday, March 24th. It's been eleven years since Lana Del Rey introduced herself ...

For listeners who can find humor amid the melodrama, there are plenty of classic Lana Del Rey moments to be enjoyed here. There will never be another album like the masterwork that is [Norman Fucking Rockwell!](https://consequence.net/2019/09/album-review-lana-del-rey-norman-rockwell/), and that’s what makes her 2019 album so very special, but …Ocean Blvd puts Del Rey at least in the neighborhood. Del Rey seems aware of this, too — the final track on the record is called “Taco Truck x VB,” and the “VB” does in fact stand for “Venice Bitch,” the NFR! “Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing” could exist in the same universe as “Mariner’s Apartment Complex;” the music box waltz “Paris, Texas” doesn’t feel too far away from “How to disappear” or “Fuck it I love you.” Lana Del Rey’s music exists in the liminal spaces, which is why it doesn’t feel consequential what she, as our narrator, thinks about a Hollywood megachurch leader. Lana Del Rey felt a bit like a character then, and that’s even more true now.

'Born to Die': The Lana Del Rey song inspired by “true love lost” (Far Out Magazine)

Lana Del Rey's album 'Born to Die' cemented her as an American music icon, and the orchestral eponymous track about "true love lost" is one of her best.

The song appeared on the album of the same name, released in January 2012. Talking to The Sun, she further elucidated: “I consider the record a homage to true love lost and a tribute to living life on the wild side. She weaves themes of passion with sadness as she sings, “Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry/ Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough,” creating a dichotomy between two opposing emotions. Talking to The Telegraph, the singer explained: “I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I used to drink a lot. With dramatic strings opening the track, the song segues into a hip-hop-inspired beat that welcomes Del Rey’s rich voice.

Lana Del Rey - Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean ... (Evening Standard)

The structure is extremely loose and often feels indulgent, but what else do her fans want to do but indulge in their idol?

It means the structure is extremely loose, and it often feels indulgent. Another long title, and one of the stronger tunes, is Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of my Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing. Obsessives – and she has always attracted obsessives – speculated on the possible contrivance of that smokey Twin Peaks vampishness, as though we should want our pop stars to arrive on stage straight off the school bus with no thought whatsoever given to image.

Revisit Lana Del Rey's First Vogue Cover In Her 'Born To Die' Era (British Vogue)

As Lana Del Rey prepares to release, 'Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd', revisit Lana Del Ray's first British Vogue cover.

Her long hair, the colour of a fox’s tail, is set in her trademark Veronica Lake waves; on her left hand she has a tattoo of an M, for her grandmother Madeleine. She is 25, but looks younger, and the effect of the outfit – combined with her girlish best-behaviour manners and a startling, honking laugh – is teenage-babysitter cute. The china-doll veneer of her look combined with the sad, sad look in her eye, and her lyrics, which are about heartbreak – not the peppy, let’s-get-back-together-baby version which is the common currency of pop, but real heartbreak. She is wearing small pearl stud earrings and a silver chain around her neck. Last May, when she was an unknown 24-year-old living in New York, singing in clubs in the East Village, she made a video montage on her laptop to accompany “Video Games”, a bruised, melancholy love song she had recorded. Her voice was rich and slow as treacle, and she sat close to me on the sofa, holding my gaze with eyes hooded and sad beneath those showgirl lashes, weaving a web of half-told stories, making every evasion feel like a heartfelt intimacy.

Salem said Long Beach was chosen this time around as a nod to her reference of Long Beach and the Jergins Tunnel. This will be the first Long Beach album release event coordinated by Spumoni, Salem said. “Massive speculation” that Del Rey herself would attend Fingerprints’ pop-up resulted in an equally massive amount of RSVPs to the beachside event. Owner Rand Foster told the Long Beach Post that the event, which was originally supposed to be held at Junipero Beach, will now be hosted at the record shop at 420 E. Last weekend, the record store watched as a “skyrocketing” number of fans expressed interest in what was meant to be a low-key listening event. “We’re hoping the response was so strong because many of you ‘huge fan/armchair detectives; jumped to a few misguided, but well-reasoned, conclusions… That’s why we’re asking readers like you to support our independent, fact-based journalism. on March 24, 25 and 26. Although the pop-ups have also reached the maximum amount of RSVPs, Spumoni founder and CEO Paul Salem told the Post that fans can still join the standby line on each day. primarily that ‘Lana would be showing up.’” [shattered Long Beach’s rain record](https://lbpost.com/news/long-beach-shattered-rain-record-on-1st-full-day-of-spring) overnight, the location was no longer feasible.

Lana Del Rey's 10 greatest collaborations – ever! (NME.com)

With a brilliant new album due this week (March 24), let's revisit the seminal songwriter's best team-ups to date.

On an album stuffed with guest appearances – from [Stevie Nicks](https://www.nme.com/artists/stevie-nicks) to [Playboi Carti](https://www.nme.com/artists/playboi-carti) – A$AP Rocky’s contributing verse stands out. The song’s business is not of misery, but of faith: Del Rey and The line is gravely urgent, and upholds the track’s acceptance of difficult truths – extending a hand to listeners who may also need to lift their chin up and stride forth. The fruitful creative partnership between Del Rey and The Weeknd started here, with an enigmatic song of longing, hedonism and doubt. But that’s barely scratching the surface: ahead of the release of her eighth studio album, [‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd’](https://www.nme.com/reviews/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd-review-3415497) (March 24), which features collaborations with Misty, [Jon Batiste](/artists/jon-batiste) and more, this is our guide to some of the seminal artist’s most memorable team-ups. This track, then, was the sound of a new world coming into focus for Del Rey, and it would guide her music for years to come. In July 2013, the track hit Number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, making for Del Rey’s biggest international success to date – and driving her forward into a future of pop stardom that perhaps once seemed uncertain. [“I’m all for you like Janet,” they sing](https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-spot-janet-jackson-reference-in-new-taylor-swift-and-lana-del-rey-collaboration-snow-on-the-beach-3333517), nodding to the star’s 2001 hit ‘All For You’. That notion applies to this cover of the emotional centrepiece from Father John Misty’s recent [Janet Jackson](https://www.nme.com/artists/janet-jackson), whose soul-baring songwriting remains the template for contemporary songwriters. The song is a flurry of action as snares crackle, drones whirr like butterfly wings, and the vocalists uplift each other, as they bask in the feeling of a genuine, powerful bond. Del Rey’s singular cinematic aesthetic and rich, assertive vocal are artistic qualities that may also be the secret to an often overlooked side of her discography: a vast catalogue of cameos and duets.

Every single Lana Del Rey song, ranked from worst to best (British GQ)

From "Born To Die" to "Norman Fucking Rockwell", GQ ranks every single Lana Del Rey song. All 110.

It seems like this is the melody Lana resorts to when she’s out of ideas. The label “freak” would later find more of a convincing home in Chemtrails Over the Country Club’s “Tulsa Jesus Freak”. It’s hard not to think that Lana could have done a lot more with this evocative imagery. Well, Tumblr kids probably could have told you, but really there were signs of it from early on, when Born To Die fused vintage soul, ‘80s [hip-hop](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/best-hip-hop-albums) and ’90s trip-hop with her now-signature lyrical storytelling, introducing us to damsels and rascals alike.

Lana Del Rey fait plus que jamais corps avec l'Amérique (Les Inrocks)

Sur son somptueux nouvel album “Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”, la pythie américaine Lana Del Rey sait s'entourer tout en restant ...

C’est la persona de l’american whore qu’elle choisit d’endosser, dont elle dit à la fois qu’elle “divise” – plus encore que “controversée” : c’est une fission d’ordre atomique qu’elle opère – et qu’elle est un “fantôme” : sous la production parfois spectrale, toute en échos, de ses chansons, Lana hante à la fois le chœur d’église et l’hôtel de passe. La sincérité delreyenne passe par la fiction, comme son intimisme passe par l’entourage : un regard sur la pochette donne un aperçu du générique, du désormais fidèle Jack Antonoff au compagnon d’écriture Mike Hermosa en passant par un Drew Erickson déjà présent sur Banisters et qui a entre-temps arrangé Big Time (2022), le grand album americana d’Angel Olsen. Un gospel oui, mais qui cite dans son texte un classique country (Rocky Mountain High de John Denver), comme pour rappeler que Lana embrasse l’histoire de la musique populaire américaine. Par The Grants, dédié à ses souvenirs de famille, le disque commence sur une répétition de gospel avec un magnifique faux départ, corrigé par la cheffe de chœur, ouvrant ainsi l’abîme entre perfectionnisme et fragilité. (2019) son album le plus prodigue à ce jour. D’aucun·es ne lui pardonnent pas cette place de pythie méta-musicale : ainsi Ann Powers (autrice de l’essai Good Booty) a-t-elle pointé chez elle une discutable authenticité – à l’occasion d’un clash qui fut d’une tenue intellectuelle supérieure à la moyenne des altercations médiatiques.

/ I want to be a man of love but I’m a man of lust.” She seems genuinely to be grappling with the greater existential questions, and the seeming futility of random love affairs and self-sabotage within that. I love the chaos of these careful choices that are revealed as the album plays — like a set of tarot cards, songs jarring in their diverging meanings, and yet altogether creating a vision that is revealing, in the realms of its own esoteric logic. Lana feels like an old friend, and this is an album of real love songs — vulnerable and gentle and also deliriously sweet. “I don’t care,” she sings, “I’ve already lost my mind.” And later, in ‘Candy Necklace’, more dreamlike, delirious, slightly fucked-up joy: “I feel lucky, white noise coming out of my brain.” She tells this guy, “Your mum called, I told her, you’re fucking up big time,” as she descends into a delirious, glorious, seductive dissonance, and also, I guess, a kind of cognitive dissonance, too. She sang about Jesus, and also cocaine; she loved the bad boys, and she loved herself, too.
