Lana Del Rey - "Take Me Home, Country Roads"


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm not familiar with the original song at all, and my first impression of this cover is an uninspired delivery with flat melody. 
Also that recent Unchained Melody Chrismas performance is so one-note, I just can't.
Honestly I have always found almost all of her covers either just flat or terribly sung: The Other Woman and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood remain two of her worst album track, Summertime, Summer Wine, Chelsea Hotel, You Must Love Me, You'll Never Walk Alone, those Christmas songs etc.

 

Especially for those songs that demand really strong vocal, her registers just end up so generic falsetto when reaching.

But then she is heaven in Shades of Cool... so I think it's just her own songs/melodies/production work so well with her own vocal, while other people's songs just don't suit her voice.


Blue Velvet, Doin' Time, Buddy's Rendezvous, Once Upon a Time in a Dream are the only covers that exudes her unique Lana-ism. Perhaps the production helps?

idk what's going on with her but her vocal delivery has been so one-note lately. Uninspired, bored and almost sounding like a YT cover artist with 200 subs.

Me and the other women from the Baptist Church Potluck in Savannah were just blasting it at the Piggley Wiggley parking lot shakin our Tupperware.

Do we move? She's the same BBC host Lana spoke to when she dropped The Grants which references John Denver, funnily enough.
