Violets Bent Backwards Audio-Book Official Discussion ThreadĬhemtrails over the Country Club Official Discussion Hub Violets Bent Backwards Physical-Book Official Discussion Thread More than a mere retro stylist, Lana embraces nostalgic all-American imagery only to corrupt it through subversive-sometimes profane-anti-love songs, while elevating pop-cultural detritus into high art: On 2019’s Norman F*****g Rockwell!-an epic masterwork that scales the heights of Elton John’s early-'70s classics-she makes room for a cover of Sublime’s ’90s stoner-funk anthem “Doin’ Time,” giving it a sultry trip-hop makeover that affirms the mystery of Lana Del Rey continues to be written.Norman Fucking Rockwell Discussion Thread
Since then, Lana has always kept listeners guessing: Informed equally by classic-rock mythology and modern hip-hop attitude, she can casually name-drop Lou Reed in a dream-pop serenade (2014’s “Brooklyn Baby”) as effortlessly she communes with R&B futurist The Weeknd (2017’s “Lust for Life”). Not only did the song prove it was possible to cultivate genuine mystique in the age of oversharing, but it also carved out a space for languid, Twin Peaks-worthy art-pop amid a Top 40 normally reserved for jacked-up pop anthems. At a time when social media was giving people the power to curate their identities and present idealized versions of themselves online, the struggling singer-songwriter once known as Lizzy Grant (born in New York in 1985) reinvented herself as Lana Del Rey for her epochal 2011 single “Video Games.” The wistful orchestral ballad (and an accompanying Super 8-style video that heralded the ubiquity of soft-focus Instagram filters) introduced a femme fatale who delighted in breaking hearts and the internet alike, knowingly using coquettish sex-kitten cliches as a means to probe male behavior and, by extension, the American id itself. Though she’s got the name and look of a ’60s-era Hollywood star, Lana Del Rey could only have emerged in the internet era.
