In Lust for Life, Del Rey has traded her “Born to Die” era for romanticism and yearning for simpler days. The name Lana Del Rey is synonymous with macabre and dream pop. If that interests you, I highly suggest you check it out!!!! Lust For Life sound like an album that Berry Gordy would play if he owned a modern nightclub. While A$SAP and Playboi put a hip-hop twist on Lana’s classic sound on “Summer Bummer” and “Groupie Love” that can best be described as lazy hip-hop songs with a vintage aftertaste. Lana and Sean Ono Lennon have a dreamy Beatles-y song, “Tommorow Never Came”. Lana also has several impressive and exciting features the likes of: A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Stevie Nicks, Sean Ono Lennon, and The Weekend on this album. Once again I assure you, don’t worry, this is not a political protest album, the songs are still just as fun and dreamy as her previous albums! “God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It” is about the recent women’s marches, “When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing” is about Lana’s fear for America, and “Heroin” is about the opioid crisis in our country.
Instead of singing about her unhealthy relationships, Lana offers meaningful lyrics about the problems facing our country. I know that you lifetime Lana lovers are scared that she is moving away from her classic haunting sound, but fear not!! This album still offers Lana’s usual old Hollywood chill-inducing vocals but this time they are laid on top of borderline deep house beats.
This album seems to be a sort of rebirth for Lana where she moves away from the glacial love ballads dedicated to terrible boyfriends and moves into a cheerier state of mind. Your favorite sad girl is back and breaking her tortured-pout-aesthetic to proudly smile on the cover of Lust For Life.
