Since this DDD has taken longer than usual to come out, I won’t be doing a poll for the last DDD of 2023. Trust me, it’ll be a good artist though — one I’ve wanted to talk about for a while. Even more than Pitbull.

Thanks for watching! Captions will be available soon.

'it makes me feel like California is real' is the best description of Lana's music I've ever heard

[thsagitta]

I cannot fucking believe that Lou Reed was supposed to be on Brooklyn Baby. this is my Roman empire.

[leilac.]

As a fan who’s been here for 10 years : yes, the coquette girlies took everything that Lana was tired of, like the whole sugar daddy thing, roses, and being self destructive, and not only made it their whole personality, but reduced her to these things only. It’s quite annoying.

[poisonlocket]

being on tumblr during the peak of born to dies popularity is a generation defining experience

[Chuuzus]

i need kids today to know the importance of Lana Del Rey’s Born to die album! that era had a whole generation of tumblr kids in a chokehold

[itsdarraghbabs]

The gushing over West Coast and Ultraviolence in general is SO real

[salsamonkey]

Her newest album is easily my album of the year. Seeing her live for the first time this year was a magical experience.

[jon.callaghan]

Lana Del Rey, despite being pretty well known and popular, is still very underrated for her actual music post Born To Die. She is one of those rare artists that has fundamentally changed music, by making it moody and darker, but also more honest and liberating for people that are feeling what she's feeling, with Billie, Lorde, Taylor (from 1989 onwards) and others owing a debt to her paving the way. I also love the fact she is musically pretty diverse, she'll give anything a go and commit to her persona, while allowing her real self to blend into it with time.
Video Games is maybe, along with Vision of Love by Mariah Carey, the best debut single ever. Thanks for finally covering her, and hopefully more people will listen to her albums. My favorites are Ultraviolence, NFR and Ocean Blvd 🤗😁🎉👌🏻

[emilywhite]

The NFR era was one of my favourite rollouts I've ever gotten to experience as a fan, not just for the music itself but for the massive re-evaluation of Lana's whole career that was taking place at that time. Like Lana being one of the most impactful artists of the 2010s is an obvious statement now, but the discourse around her massively turned a corner right as the decade was ending, and NFR itself coming out and being as phenomenal as it was felt like the crowning jewel on top of all that

[maxlimit]

my favorite thing about Lana is how she made a song called Paris, Texas so Paris Texas responded by making a song called Lana Del Rey
edit: my second favorite thing is how she worked with Father, of Awful Records fame, on her most recent album

[warrenmacdonald]

Lana is a genius artist in every way. Most criticism towards her has been deeply rooted in misogyny and I don’t care what anyone says, I know this to be true. If there was a male artist making music this good consistently for so long, with such unique perspective and imagery, he would be hailed as a hero by the mainstream.

[gloriaalarcon]

BTD had me. But Ultraviolence had 14 year old me in a chokehold and still does to this day. Even though I’m still waiting for a new album that has the same sound as UV, the rest of her albums truly solidified her as a queen in my eyes. Love her sm

[vfsdm]

The ex that Lana put a billboard too is the cop boyfriend she had. When you know the backstory of their fallout I totally get her: basically during the pandemic, while they were going to couples therapy, he not only cheated on her but also got engaged (parts of the title track and A&W are about that). Other reason why she changed the album from White Hot Forever to another song Chemetrails, while changing the old song title to Tulsa Jesus Freak.

[disx]

so happy you're doing lana 😭 her discog is so interesting and gorgeous

[wiseguy]

I've been obsessed with her music since NFR released. Something about that album and the following ones, just hits me right where it hurts (In a good way, obviously). There really is no other artist like her. She does her own thing, has an aesthetic that isn't designed to appeal to younger people. She walks her own path and that's got to be admired in the modern pop world. PS. Kintsugi is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[peterpallagi]

She also has a lot of unreleased stuff as well, crazy amount. Well edited and structured quality content as always, enjoyed watching. Good job, thank you!

[gemma]

I've literally been voting for this for YEARS. Thank you!!

[whimsicalname]

Finally, Mic the Snare shall accomplish what all of my friends failed to do: turn me into a Lana del Rey fan. My time has come.

[MM-dwew]

NFR is my favourite album of all time. I was supposed to see the concert in Verona in June 2020 but… you know. I will never not be sad for this show not happening.
