Ambitious and Vulnerable- Her Most Personal Album Yet
âThe Grantsâ begins with a short, lovely acapella introduction before the addition of instrumentation and a change in the melody turns into the main theme. Itâs a gorgeous, touching, melancholy in spirit but musically uplifting song about remembering relatives here and gone. The title song which follows is an extension thematically of âThe Grantsâ and is simply wonderful. The next song I am really impressed with is âA & Wâ, one of my favorite Lana songs of all time. It delves into the underbelly of Americana by painting a dark picture of prostitution as it now stands. What I love about it is the schizophrenic juxtaposition between the first and second parts of the song- absolutely brilliant! Though she works with a few producers on this album I could sense this was the first cowritten with my favorite, Jack Antonoff.The first of two interludes follows- âJudah Smith Interludeâ, an apparent âmusique concreteâ featuring a preacher and what seem to be giggling women- strange but it works in the context of the album. Another beautiful song is the keyboard based âCandy Necklacesâ featuring Jon Batiste adding subtle vocals. Following is the last of the interludes which also features Batiste and sounds like the band, he and Lana jamming a bit, off the cuff and is also well placed on the album. âKintsugiâ is a pretty ballad, piano driven. Lyrically itâs about how a broken heart can let light in if you let it. I love Lanaâs singing throughout- sometimes almost a whisper, sometimes a croon. Sheâs quite delicate on this track. My next favorite track is âParis, Texasâ with one of the most enchanting vocal melodies in her repertoire. The following âGrandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders of My Father While Heâs Deep-Sea Fishingâ is an interesting song but for me one of the few weak tracks as is âLet The Light Inâ- a MOR light tune I can imagine will be used in commercials one day. In the old days of vinyl at 16 tracks and about 70 minutes long this would have been a double album so I can live with it. The last three songs are some of my all-time favorites- the sultry, luxurious, dreamy âFishtailâ, the funky âPeppersâ and âTaco Truck x VBâ. When I saw VB I thought it couldnât be âVenice B**châ from âNFRâ but to my delight it was that fantastic loop that the first part segues into and closes this deeply personal musical journey.

Lana Del Rey is Amazing!
Not her top three, but still good... It's Lana. Some awesome tracks. The song she does with Jack Antonoff is a beautiful story. Google it. The song will make more sense.

An Introspective Sonic Experience, Slightly Overindulgent at Times
From an audiophile and lyrical critique standpoint, this album succeeds in creating a lush, immersive atmosphere, punctuated by moments of raw vulnerability. The production values are high, with an emphasis on vocal prominence and minimalist, yet elegant instrumentation that enhances the storytelling.However, while the album is conceptually cohesive, some tracks tend to linger longer than necessary, diluting the emotional impact of the stronger pieces. This makes it feel slightly overindulgent for listeners seeking a tighter narrative or more dynamic pacing.Despite these minor critiques, it remains a powerful addition to the artistâs catalog, best enjoyed in a solitary setting where the subtleties can truly sink in.
