Actually the three singles-that, "Venice Bitch," and "Mariner's Apartment Complex"-I just kind of put them out because they were my most personal and I liked them the most. I was trying to get clarity on a lot of my own stuff by putting it out. Also on a deeper level for me, having reference to family of origin and lineage, karmic lineage, and confusion that gets passed down through generational passages.
Throw in couple of phrases that are significant to my group of friends, and then just put it out online and let it live.īut I put a couple of words in there in the last lines about collusion and confusion, and evolution, and perhaps a subtle nod to a bit of the women's movement. I jam-pack a lot of Easter eggs, one-liners that only I know what they mean. I actually tried to do all my interviews before I released it, so that I wouldn't talk about it, because it's just one of those songs that is really personal to me for a lot of different reasons and that's often how my music is. LDR: If you read in between the lines so that you're listening carefully, you can tell there's a lot jam-packed into that song. Where was your head at when you were writing it? HB: Your latest single, "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it" seems very prescient of the time we're in. There's not really any big bangers on it, it's just day-in-the-life mood music, which is some of my favorite stuff to drive to and listen to. One thing I like about it is it has a really organic, I don't want to say an acoustic feel, but it has a kind of old L.A.-a little bit of, I don't want to say rock, but some of those rock undertones on the last songs on the record. If we hadn't sat down, I don't know if I would have planned to make an entire 13-track record. It sort of came about because I met Jack Antonoff last year up at the Clive Davis party before the Grammys and he said that we should get in the studio, and I told him I only had a few songs that I had already written. I finished it for the most part at the beginning of January, and I think it's a little bit different from maybe the last two records in the way that I just don't really have a plan for it. Is there anything you can tease about it, or how it might be different from Lust for Life ? HB: In addition to being involved with Gucci you also have an album coming out soon. It was definitely a trip, and when I met Alessandro to talk about this concept of "Hollyweird" and he wanted these two people to be doing all these regular everyday things, but with their diamonds on and their Gucci jumpsuits on, I thought it was cute, for sure. It was kind of funny, because all these places that I would normally go to by myself, or with friends just to hang out, we were closing down and putting ostriches in and tigers. Alessandro wanted to shoot at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, so we shutdown that big cemetery, which is really famous here, and we had a grocery store that we were filming in the next day, and then we went to the valley and shot in an old laundromat there. last year, and we got to shut down all the big locations. Harper’s BAZAAR: Your Gucci Guilty campaign with Jared Leto looks awesome. Here, the singer opens up about her latest Gucci project, her evolution since Born to Die, and how she hopes the Grammys will do women right. So, yes, I am living the secret life of an Instagram baddie quietly in L.A., so I've got the best of both worlds going on over here.” I'm just not posting any of it like I said I would. “I am drinking so much wheat grass, wearing so much neon, going to so many spin classes that it's ridiculous. “Mission accomplished,” she tells with a laugh. So far, she’s already teased the Jack Antonoff-assisted project with three singles reflecting her signature cool, dark imprint: “Venice Bitch,” “Mariners Apartment Complex,” and “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it.”įor those wondering, Lana has been sticking to her resolution. The follow-up to 2017’s Lust for Life is a “mood album” and “there aren’t any big bangers on it,” she tells, but perhaps we’ll leave the latter for her fans to decide.
One thing Del Rey might actually be doing low-key is her upcoming album, Norman Fucking Rockwell, due this year.
