music news Lana Del Rey confirms album shift: I stopped because I didn't recognize myself.

[NOW]

 

 

Quote

Lana Del Rey has grown up with stories that have become our stories because, in a sense, she's shaped them for us. By putting herself at the heart of her own experiences, she found the inspiration to turn them into harmony, becoming the voice of a generation. She's aiming to do it again with Lasso, her new album born from the time she spent between Mississippi and Arkansas, although, as we speak, it's still in the making and might even end up with a different name.

 

"It had too much 'American storytelling flair'. I put it on hold because I didn't recognize myself in it. Originally, me and the label were excited because the energy of the music of the album was meant to reflect my new life. Now, I'm not so sure, but I'm usually pretty good with my own timing. I might turn it into something more 'Southern gothic,' like it was meant to be from the start, and less country."

Not at all surprising. 

 

She should retool it into a Bobbie Gentry type record. I think that makes a lot more sense for Lana.

She doesn't say that she scrapped it, just that she wishes she could turn this into a different direction. Maybe she can't anymore cause she has to meet the deadline?

[Truth Teller]

Description is exciting and I generally believe in her. Just have it ready soon

I think she said in the fashion awards dinner last week that she's keeping the country songs she did complete but it's not going to be an overall country record.

 

Just imagine the Neil Krug photoshoot set in the Southern Gothic region where she lives now...whew

[UnusualBoy]

I wouldn't have minded if it was a country album but this new direction may be better

[Spicy Pisces]

"The Lasso Monster" come through
