Now it finds a real home on Blue Banisters. This song has the same cinematic tone of material from Born to Die or Ultraviolence (the record it was originally intended for.) Clearly too ahead of its time to fit the more commercial tone of past albums. Blue Banisters also includes unreleased songs written and recorded as far back as 2013. If you were looking forward to more of Lana’s older style, never fear. The song, which features Alex Turner collaborator Miles Kane, is raw.
Here Del Rey shows just how far she can push her powerhouse vocals.
‘Dealer’ is another revealing song that has captured fans’ attention. This is the type of experimentation we have not heard from Del Rey since Honeymoon in 2015. ‘Black Bathing Suit’ is sonically ambitious. “The only thing that still fits me is this black bathing suit,” she sings. She also discusses gaining weight in lockdown and worrying about being yesterday’s news. What is more, ‘Black Bathing Suit’ certainly cements Blue Bannisters as belonging in 2021. A cowboy western crossed with an underground club mix, this is a much talked about track amongst fans. Del Rey continues to look outward and inward. While she remains incredibly steadfast with her style and story, Lana is experimenting soundwise. With Blue Bannisters, we are hearing and seeing Lana Del Rey at her best vocally, sonically, and creatively. Lana Del Rey on the cover of Lust For Life Lana hits a high note With Blue Bannisters‘ cover, we continue to witness Lana’s slow yet surprising progression from highly edited portraits to a living breathing human being. There are moments on Blue Bannisters echoing the shock felt when Lana first appeared smiling brightly on the cover art of 2017’s Lust for Life. Which casts light on the fact that, despite Lana’s fame, we as fans really know very little about who she is. Bit by bit, her recent albums reveal the side she has been hiding. As with Chemtrails Over The Country Club earlier this year, Blue Bannisters breaks Del Rey’s mysterious facade. Lana, it seems, has finally caught up to the present. Instead of musing about old Hollywood or melancholy memories of toxic love, Lana Del Rey now sings the sorrows and joys of the here and now. There is something very different about Blue Banisters.
