Several years later she learned how to sing with emotion rather than being overwhelmed by emotion for example in Talk Of The Town. Her singing becomes more and more emotional in Motherless Child to the point that her singing is almost overcome with it. She did an early demo recording with Bethlehem Records where she recorded 4 tracks including Motherless Child. If people don't understand what I mean I can point to an example with the singer Julie London. I don't hear that same over-intensity in Ultraviolence her next album and no one could actually be a performer if they were to get up on stage night after night and directly relive some trauma. There are a number of places in those two early albums where Lana seems to be singing directly about some fear or anxiety she has with little separation from the art. If you are too openly feeling what you are singing about, the mask starts to slip and you are faced with direct expression (a sad person looking sad and saying they are sad is direct expression). in a much older thread on Lana ( The new Lana Del Rey album, "Honeymoon," is brilliant, and I don't care who it offends ) made a very perceptive comment about the necessity of an artistic persona.

She also discusses forthcoming single White Dress, which recalls being “only 19”, working as a waitress, listening to the White Stripes and Kings Of Leon. So let’s see how these things come out – I’m not going to have steel pedal guitar on every single thing, but it is easy for me to write.” Maybe the way Video Games got remastered, they’re pop - but there’s something Americana about it for sure. “I went back and listened to Ride and Video Games and thought, you know, they’re kind of country. “With a little Marty Robbins and Johnny Paycheck. She describes her tastes as “stark and blue, somewhat outlaw”: Hank Williams, Bobbie Gentry, Patsy Cline, Wynette.

She says she has worked with country singer Nikki Lane on “a cover album of country songs” and one of “other folk songs”. In the extensive MOJO interview, Del Rey also talks at length about her past, her haters, and her love of country.

The album closes with a cover of Joni Mitchell’s 1970 gem, For Free, a song that Del Rey confesses means “everything” to her. “ Norman…’s just cool, it’s easy to cheer for that.”įor Chemtrails Over The Country Club, though, she “had to turn back inward”, she explains, for an album that reveals, says Segal, “a more vulnerable Del Rey: lighter on the LA menace, more innocently emotional.” “I knew they were going to like Norman because there’s kind of nothing not to like about it,” Del Rey tells MOJO’s Victoria Segal.
