But the last decade of popular music wouldn’t be the same without her. She’s often seemed like a figure out of her own time: a ’60s hippie, a jazz singer, an old-Hollywood icon. Now 34, she’s matured into a generational balladeer yet she’s become more down-to-earth, no longer defined by the tragic figures who once inhabited her songs. She’s influenced not just her peers, but the next generation of alternative-leaning pop stars: Lorde, Halsey, Billie Eilish, Banks, Sky Ferreira, Father John Misty, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and now Olivia Rodrigo - but Lana Del Rey remains utterly inimitable. Without intending to, that album became one of the main catalysts for pop’s mid-2010s shift from brash EDM to a moodier, hip-hop-inflected palette. Born to Die has stayed on the Billboard 200 albums chart for almost a full decade, the second-longest charting album by a female solo artist in history. JSYK.Through all the controversies, Lana’s artistry has endured. :vlol:ĮDIT: I should also note that I don't collect her live material, covers or "features" on songs. Missing a few songs like "Never Let Me Go" for example - and I have a duplicate of Gramma that's labelled as a demo but identical to the finished song, so.

Trash Magic AKA Miss America (original version & demo)Ĭome When You Call Me America (2 versions) National Anthem (nexus version aka demo #1 & demo #2) The demos for Trash Magic AKA Miss America and Lucky Ones are missing, and the recently leaked tracks - Come When You Call Me America too, and Never Let Me Go - I'm a horrid stan. I have a supposed demo of Gramma (entitled Blue Ribbon) but it sounds pretty much the same as the version featured on Nevada. Hundred Dollar Bill (original version & demo) National Anthem (nexus version aka demo #1 - is this () supposed demo #2 legit?)įor K (Part 2) (two demos, one of which has a longer intro)ĭriving In Cars With Boys (original version & demo) Without You, Lolita and Lucky Ones)ĭiet Mountain Dew (demo () & alternate version ()) my Lana collection is decidedly incomplete and I need to know what I'm missing.
