The fans of Lana Del Rey they are in their lucky day. The artist has just released his ninth studio album, Did you know there is a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. After having to postpone the premiere for several weeks, it finally saw the light of day. It’s a very complete album that wanders through various genres.
In this work he collects sounds ranging from soul to pop, including indie and even trap. The theme continues to be sad and dark where the ballads that characterize it so much predominate. These cases are perfectly observed in Sweet and grandpa, please stand on my dad’s shoulders while he’s deep sea fishing.
It’s an atypical box in the current industry, it doesn’t follow the trends or stereotypes that prevail today, in fact, it’s an ode to the classic, it’s a timeless record that takes us to ballads of 80 years. Lana Del Rey She’s always been a disruptive artist with the system, she doesn’t care about stereotypes or release schedules set by the system or the music industry. This is observed in addition to the music in the strategies it follows, which go against the grain of what is usual. We see it for example in the very long titles of their titles or in the publication of excessive singles.
There are also songs like Fishtail which, despite continuing the same sound line, incorporates modern sounds such as synthetic trap percussion. We also see the same thing in the next song of the album peppers. In this song, the artist takes his time to pay homage to Angelina Jolie in the lyrics of the song.
The new album was co-produced by Lana Del Rey next to Mike Hermosa, Jack Antonoff, Drew Erickson, Zach Dawes and Benji, and includes contributions from Jon Batiste, Tiers, Father John Misty, Judah Smith, Tommy Genesis and SYML.
The main themes addressed in the album are fame, family and love, recurring elements in his music.
