Personally, I think that this album feels more vital and fresh not because of what resides inside of it – although there are statements to be made to that point – but rather due to the circumstances surrounding it. For Lana Del Rey, Lust For Life seems to be that moment.ĭel Rey’s music has seen very few shifts over the years, so there’s no denying that this record’s appeal comes from something other than a Weeknd feature. That’s the odd thing about music, and especially Elizabeth Grant’s stubbornly antiquated style: you never know how, when, or why it will all come together and suddenly make sense – it just does. I’d offer some insight into why this makes sense, but it doesn’t. Aside from the obvious fact that her approach has been extremely successful, Lana still finds herself inexplicably fading away – a product of Honeymoon’s relative flatness and diminishing overall returns on a sound that hasn’t changed since she first broke through with 2011’s ‘Video Games.’ On an album where it would have been sensible to expect some sort of observable departure, Lust For Life ends up bringing us even more of the absolute same stuff…and somehow it ends up being her best record to date. Basically, she's one of the best 1960s pop stars to be born in 1985, now playing the part of hipster fodder at age thirty two.

She wants us to imagine flower-haired children running barefoot through the grass, protesters brandishing acoustic guitars while passing a joint around, and pin-up models helping an entire gender break free from repression.
Review Summary: It's better than I ever even knewĭel Rey’s vintage look and feel has always seemed like a gimmick.
