This not a hate comment towards you guys but you really should do research before you listen to Lana del Rey because her music is very personal so it will be very hard to comprehend if you don’t know nothing about her so I’m gonna try to explain her to you guys in the easiest way I can. Lana’s sound is very melancholic, James Bond, Americana, and old school. She has done many genres Pop,hip pop, rock, rap, country, jazz she is classified as alternative but recently she announced that she is fully doing country and has been working on a new album coming out this September for four years in between those 4 years she has come out with 3 albums. Her sound can be very boring it can make you fall asleep if she’s not your type of music so I understand how you guys may get bored with this album since you guys aren’t fans at all but they’re popular for a reason because a lot of artist have said and mentioned Lana as she changed pop in the 2010s when she came out with her debut album “Born to die” a lot of people wanted to write like her because it was such tragic topics but written beautifully so she has influenced A LOT of artist in the industry. Lana is also a poet. Also Lana writes a lot about love,heart break and death because her life wasn’t the most healthy childhood , her mom was VERY abusive towards and cause of that Lana became an Addict, Alcoholic and smoker at the young age of 14 ( she celebrated 20 years of being sober really recently) she also loves her father a lot even tho she has mentioned in her music that she wished her father did more to protect her against her mothers anger ( they also call him the first nepo daddy since he makes music and is famous because of Lana). This is just like a tiny bit of how traumatic her childhood was, so Lana writes a lot about her own experience in her music dealing with drugs, alcohol,abusive relationships and just overall horrible experiences that she had been through and a lot of woman or even men relate to them. She also has very uplifting music in her album like in “Lust For Life” made in 2017 her last 3 songs heroin, change and get free are like a trilogy of tragedy with drugs then changing your ways and then getting free and living your own life being clean. She has made 9 albums so far Born to die (2012), Born to die-the paradise edition(2013), Ultraviolence (2014), Honeymoon (2015), Lust for life (2017), Norman fucking Rockwell (2019), Chemtrails over the country club (2021), Blue Banisters (2021) and Did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean Blvd (2023) and a upcoming country album named “Lasso” coming out this September 2024. The album that you guys reacted to is one of her most popular ones because it talks about a lot of things that woman go through. Cruel world opens the album by telling what this album will be mainly about. The meaning behind this song is is her being with this famous guy who has a lot of conflicts having a bunch of woman and drugs and when she was younger she liked it because he was crazy for her but now she realizes that it’s not something she wants. Ultraviolence is about her own personal experience with an abusive controlling relationship the guy she talks about in this song is a cult leader who she met in New York and she let him do things to get hit her abuse her and much more that’s why in the song she js crazy for him but at the end she leaves him. Shades of cool is a song about an unfixable man that she wants to understand and fix but she can’t . Brooklyn baby is a love song about her boyfriend at the time but also poking fun at hipsters from Brooklyn but also she named the song Brooklyn baby because she was supposed to collab with this huge rock Artist but when she arrived to New York to make the song he passed away the same day. West coast is a melancholic love song about woman torn between love and ambition, and as a dedication to the West Coast of the United States. Sad girl,Lana has said that she wrote the song because she’s “still sometimes a sad girl,” since she’s trying to fight things that are out of her control. “Sad Girl” is primarily about her doing things that she wants over things she should. Pretty when you cry a heartbreaking declaration of how someone’s love can make them stronger, despite all the pain they endure. The song expresses the bittersweet beauty in leaving behind someone who can no longer offer the expected affection and loyalty. The lyrics also reflect on the natural beauty in sadness, as the narrator expresses that she feels "pretty when I cry." Money powers glory is a sarcastic response song she said “I learned that whatever I did elicited an opposite response, so I’m sure ‘Money Power Glory’ will actually resonate with people as being what I really do want. I already know what’s coming, so it’s okay to explore irony and bitterness". Fucked my way up to the top isn’t about her fucking her way up to the music industry to success its kinda mocking making fun of the men and many articles that were saying she’s an industry plan or that she fucked her way up to the top she is just saying fuck you to them . Old money for Lana was a nostalgic song for her old Hollywood it’s actually her oldest song she says cause she had been working on it for 5 years. The other woman is a cover song which fits the albums theme and one of her best covers besides “doin time” in 2019. Black beauty describes the various dark moods of Lana’s lover, and the helplessness she feels at being unable to change him. While she tries to conform to his many shades of black, she can’t help but feel scared and shadowed herself. Guns and roses is a song of her just reflecting on her last lovers that’s why she has lyrics of him taking his bike to Detroit he loves heavy metal it’s a song just remembering her past lovers that’s why she repeats a lot of the lyrics. Florida kilos is a song inspired by a documentary that she saw that spoke an about cocaine traffickers in Miami. She also said “ I attract those who use illegal methods to get what they want. When I was a kid I thought I had the right to have whatever I wanted at any cost. I like the idea of getting to the top with your method, [whether] it is legal or illegal.” I do feel like yall gave her a lot of shit but I can see why because you guys really don’t know anything about her and you guys didn’t really get the album so I see how you guys don’t like the album but hopefully you guys can see if differently later on if yall re listen to the album since I gave yall small history of her and the meanings of each song. She also didn’t glorify abusive relationships in ultraviolence she stated it many times before. But I do feel like you guys do need to give her another chance by listening to born to die since it’s her debut album and it’s more pop and hip hop influenced or maybe lust for life since it has collabs with The Weeknd, play boy carti and asap rocky. And maybe you guys will see why she is really famous and has a huge fan base and a big influence in the music industry. She also reference blue a lot since it’s consider a sad color. Also when making this album her record wasn’t sure if they would allow Lana to release this album since they weren’t sure if it was perfect so they asked one of the biggest producers in the music industry who has worked with Adele and they made him listen to the album and he said the whole album was pure perfection so with that they let her release it. Also she did spend time in Spain when her mom sent her there to stay cause of “issues” Lana had so she can understand Spanish and speak it a little bit. Btw her music is the type that you have to pay attention to the lyrics like actually pay attention to the lyrics they are the biggest part of her music. Also I feel like your guys comments In this video were very childish and insulting towards Lana. So maybe next time do research or at least look up the meaning of the song before listening to it so you get an idea of what this song will be about. Also my bad if my grammar and punctuation wasn’t good at all or even there KZfaq crashed on me writing this comment 2 times 💀

They just don’t get it, typical guys 💀 “Cause your just a man, it’s just what you do” - LDR

the ignorance in this video is crazyyyy

Lana is deep, not just "funny pop songs". Just don't try to force yourself to like Lana's music

men will never get lana, especially this album. are we shocked

I understand that everyone has different music taste but my god this reaction was so tough to watch.

Sucks ya don't get the lyrics typical guys just hearing the beats

they won’t be able to handle NFR

I’m only 10 minutes in and I thought omg finally men who can grasp the concept of the song ultraviolence and understand it then I’m reading the comments now I’m scared to keep watching 😭💀

You just don’t get it

i appreciate that y’all are honest but since y’all had trouble comprehending this album and her lyrics y’all probably will struggle with her other albums. don’t force urselves to listen to her. it’s cool

Lana is know for her poetic like songs and her word plays and i don’t see y’all paying attention to the lyrucs that much. i feel like born to die would fit y’all’s taste the best since imo it’s her album that’s really upbeat

Lana is definitely not for you and that's okay. If you don't care about the lyrics and the story the song is trying to convey I recommend not listening to Lana anymore.

Please do us a favour and don't react to her in future, you won't be able to comprehend her style and art.

The disrespect

"You don't get it you just don't get it you've already forgotten even though i just said it" "Cz you're just a man it's just what you do" "You act like a kid even though you stand 6'2" " You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you" "Your poetry's bad and you blame the news"

I got too scared by the comments and left before they started. Lol😅

It’s one thing to glorify harsh subject matter. It’s another to speak on it personally on a creative/tasteful level. She does the latter. Let’s not misconstrued things.

Her level of musical intellect is too high for yall to understand and that’s okay 🙏

Did you even try to understand the lyrics? 🤨

these guys brains are the size of an atom

Tbh if you all give ultraviolence a 4/10 I would suggest not listening to her discography. Because she’s just truly not for you, and that’s fine. But I’ll bet you all will continue to make these reaction videos on her just for the views lol kind of pathetic

When she says “he hit me and it felt like a kiss,” I don’t think she’s glorifying the abuse. Abusive relationships are complex and the reason people stay in them isn’t because they’re stupid or something, it’s usually because the self-esteem of the person who is getting abused is usually really low and they feel as if the fact that the abuser is putting energy into abusing, actually staying, or showing such intense emotion for them is because they’re valuable of SOMETHING instead of nothing. I think it’s more of a perspective of “at least he cares.” Another reason is people who attract abusers have usually had childhood trauma and it influences the way they view “love.” For example, if someone was physically abused as a child, they’re more likely to find comfort in getting physically abused in relationships if they’re not properly healed. Lana’s lyrics are deeply complex and you could stir up a whole essay on each line.

well, i guess straight men can’t understand lana’s music, keep listening to basic songs guys

Damn, I really was hoping these dudes understood substance, nuance, and lyrical authenticity. I guess you can't force people who live on the surface to go deep diving. Deuces.

18:44 "maybe its not for me" spot on

lana del rey isn’t for everyone

Haven’t even watched the video yet. But I’m sure there’s going to be some kind of misogyny or manipulated her point…

The heavy reverb is intentional for this album

you pulled up the lyrics, just for you to ignore EVERYTHING? wow.

i fear they won’t fathom NFR😭

Take your time with each album. Don't feel like you have to rush these reactions out. The longer it sits with you and the more you listen, the more you'll hear and you'll always find things you missed before, things start to click and things start making more sense, in the music, and in life in general 🤯😅 I think her music can be really exhausting and draining if you try taking it all in too quickly. I've had the pleasure of discovering her back in 2012, the first song that i ever heard by her was Gods and Monsters .. and i had just moved to Long Beach Cali from Pennsylvania and it was just a very therapeutic journey, to say the least. Honeymoon was my first vinyl purchase. NFR may be my favorite album of all time. Every album has eventually taken top tier status over most projects I've heard, for one reason or another. Her music's just different, in an appreciated way, and I'm really excited to hear your opinions on each body of work .. the Paradise EP is excellence as well, and that should include the short film, Tropico, which includes 3 songs, Body Electric, Gods and Monsters and Bel Air. I sing the body electric, a poem by Walt Whitman, Gods and Monsters opening line of "LA, LA. LA, LA In a land of Gods and monsters, i was an Angel" singing of Los Angeles and her time there at the time. And Bel Air, imagine being at Hell's gate, and then rushing to your idea of what Heaven would be like, hearing kids laughing and finally ending that EP in that Heavenly state .. before moving into the next body of work, which was this one that you just reacted to ! What a journey .. what a journey, indeed. ✌️

You people are even not praising her vocals. Snubbed completely..

I love Lana .... You're being honest so, Iiked the reaction just because of that. So I would like to know what you think about Born to Die, other albums not sure if your are going to like them.

And guess what, DaBabys name is not DaBaby.. Entertainers change their name all the time.

You guys should react to her album "Lust for life" it has some influence in hiphop in it which i think you guys might like

THIS REVIEW IS A JOKE. JUST DELETE THIS ACCOUNT LMAO

Brooklyn Baby is boring? Get some taste. I imagine what kind of trash you'll listen

Guy on the right mentioned Paris texas and i love that band!!!! Whats really ironic is that lana has a song called paris, Texas. In return they made a song called lana del rey. Im proud to admit my great taste and say i love both songs. I dont want to send yall hate or anything but alot of comments made were pretty ignorant and biased. I still enjoyed the video bc i love lana and hearing what people think about what shes doing with music, but this couldve been a little more tasteful. Anyways, goodluck guys :) keep growing and being real.

Literature arts in music form is not for everyone so i get it. Just stick listening to basic songs

I'm a huge lana fan and I really love the honesty to be honest. I like to see other people's perspectives on music, everyone is entitled to their own opinion . I just wished you guys really tried to understand her lyrics. I would lowkey love if you guys reacted to her "Born To Die" album, I would love to see your reactions and opinions on that!

This album is a little too heavy to start listening to her, the songs have the same vibes but they dont sound the same, i acknowledge why you would think that but thats not true. Every one of her albums have a sound of their own and based on each of yalls comments about liking drums and rythims you'll like "born to die" her debut album thats influenced by hip hop

Everyone who requested a Lana reaction forgot to warn them about the crazies 😂 … like the ones in the comments … I love Lana , but it’s cool seeing other peoples reactions !! You didn’t know her backstory which 100% helps understand her music & that’s ok ! If you continue with her albums i def recommend looking into her themes before hand & listening to the albums in order ( like first release to most recent , her music has changed a lot of the years - her earlier stuff are basically classics at this point - some that i’m sure you’ve heard all over the radio at some point :)

Im an absolute massive Lana fan and I didn't like this album first listen. I thought all the songs were slow and sounded the same. Now I love it a lot and it's one of my favorite albums of all time. I even own the cd and play it on loop in my car. I think it's just a grower

“It might not appeal to fools like you.” 😒

dont really understand the concept of rating based on the year of the album release. what rating for Beatles, Bob Dylan then? above 100 because it was released in 1966?

guys do a research before you go into someones discography or do not do it at all if you are not into slow burn music .... what is the point

The Guitar part in west coast at the end bro 😩😩

Yikes 😬

If you're reacting to someone for views obviously then you should try to focus and understand about the somg and lyrics and what all this mean.. I thinkthese guys are just dumb next time whenever you're reacting to some just to earn you at least have to study about that artist and that album..

Lana’s music has changed a lot in the past ten years musically and especially lyrically, if you don’t like ultraviolence you’d definitely like her newer music, she talks about more personal subjects now like family, and her music now is ALOT more stripped back and has way less reverb and effects, similar to mitskis most recent album

I’m a male and I really enjoy Lana del Rey

I'm shocked Ultraviolence beat out Born To Die as most popular album on Spotify. BTD has to be her most mainstream album and Norman Fucking Rockwell is the most critically acclaimed. BTD is still trending on the billboard top 200 (520 weeks/10 years). Like other people have mentioned, Ultraviolence is not the album I would normally introduce Lana, especially if the listener leans more into hip hop. Each album has its own vibe, this one in particular is considered her classic rock era and has the most reverb of all so I get it. (I can see some of the similarities with Garbage too) As far as message goes, you guys definitely didn't scracth the surface. It is easy to think that the songs simply glorify abuse when the writing isn't deeply analyze but I don't expect everyone to do that on a first listen. Those who have been listening for a long time know it is not a glorification, it is a WARNING. She has dealt with alcohol and drug abuse, mommy issues, toxic relationships so her music is going to reflect that and the feelings at the moment and time when going through it. Lana is more of a poetic songwriter which provide layers to her music but at the same time makes it harder to interpret and digest. Not to mention that Lana is not even trying to appeal to a mainstream audience (Her immediate mainstream sucess coming off her first album was a shock even to her). She did change the pop landscape and I think if you explore her first album, Born To Die, you'll see how big of an influence she is to todays pop girlies like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo even bigger names like Taylor Swift. There is also alot of sarcasm in this album which you obviously missed by not knowing much about her. 'Brooklyn Baby' and 'Money Power Glory' are sarcastic and are doubling down on the image/trope critics tried to pin her as. Even 'Fucked My Way Up to the Top' isn't really about her having sex to get to the top, it's a response to another female singer who was talking trash about her (Many fans believe its Lorde). Of course I don't expect you to know any of this. One last thing, on 'Black Beauty' Lana mentions the Spanish women because she changed her physical appearance to fit more to what the guy liked which is Spanish looking women. I think Primo missed the first few lines of the song and infer the wrong thing out of it. I'm latina too by the way and I would of had that sus look too if I didn't catch the beginning 😂

WHEN YOU SAID PRETTY WHEN YOU CRY CAN BE POWERFUL IN A LIVE PERFORMANCE, I INSTANTLY THOUGHT ABOUT HER RECENT CONCERT IN MEXICO AND SHE SANG THAT SONG, AND WHEN IT GOT CLOSER TO THE ENDING GUITAR AND VOCALS, THE ENTIRE CROWD WAS PUSHED BACK. PEOPLE ARE CLAIMING SHES A DEMON AND ALL KINDS OF CRAZY SHIT. im ngl the video is very strange, im not religious but it does give me goose bumps. Anyways she did confirm practicing witchcraft before but like, i think i like her more because of it.

Oh WOW... Well, ni se molesten en escuchar las otras obras maestras si no quieren ser cancelados jajajaja, Lust For Life sería bueno

West coast is god tier, only gets better with each listen. The ending makes me feel powerful and high

I get the impression that you’d enjoy her album Lust for Life it has more of a hip hop flair 2 features with asap rocky 1 with the weekend 1 with playboi carti, check it out

As a gay man, i love lana and soft music sometimes, other times i wanna listen to some ratchet shit or something punk. I dont think music should be categorized by gender, you lose so many perspectives from so many great minds, only stumping yourself of personal growth

I have been a Lana fan for little over a decade and I appreciate the honesty :) UV is in my top three but I can see it being the hardest album to digest by her. Also I feel like it is stylistically niche, so it won't be for everyone. But its poetically deep and musically complex in my opinion. She touched on some rare topics in music with her own perspective which makes this album very unique. This was also the era of EDM songs while she was out there mixing psychedelic rock with pop elements. I find it very bold. I recommend NFR, LFL and Ocean Blvd., in this order. Then the rest. I'd like to point out few things: The Other Woman is a Nina Simone cover but she is a die-hard fan of Billie Holiday too, she has both their names tattooed. And Ultraviolence as a song is very vulnerable, I don't think art has to be morally ideal. She is just narrating her experience with violent past relationships and its just raw and real. I never had thought she is glamorizing toxic relationships.

It’s funny you mention The Weeknd because he actually did a feature on Money power Glory but it was never officially released. But you can find it on KZfaq . The Weeknd and Lana have collaborated numerous times over the last decade. He said that she’s the embodiment of the girls he sings about in songs. And they sound great together. Check out Lust for Life and Stargirl.

You guys should listen to her debut album ( born to die ) or honeymoon

I'm a lana fan and i get what you mean by muddy lol it took awhile for me to get used to it.

Realmente no sienten, no analizan, no les identifica ni una letra... No se trata de ser únicos y diferentes, se trata de vivir realmente lo que escucho.

Appreciate the honesty tho haha but yeah, Lana is on another level

Intro fuckin hit

Idk why youre getting so much hate but thanks for giving the album a chance. All reactions are valid reactions including yours.

Theres a difference between not looking something and trashing on something, i get, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that shes not everyones taste but to not try and understand the lyrics you literally have in screen and say she's boring and "Lana del culo" 1:01:56 bruh really? Again just being disrespectful because you dont get it aint how you do this

too hard for you guys to comprehend good music and good lyricism. too many complaints about everything

I think Lana’s lust for life album would be more up your alley fasho

In The ultraviolence track, “Jim” shes referring too is eluding to Jim Jones, the famous cult leader.. the kool aid man. Remember boys? 😉

as a lana fan (first found out about her as lizzy grant not lana throuh soundcloud and tumblr) I will say this album isn't really a sit down and listen, its one of those albums you put on when you got a long trip or trying to listen to somthing at 1AM.... try born to die if you want to check more of her the album is abit more shorter and upbeat love the reaction but yeah this album is really for the gays and girls who were on tumblr and that black and white cigarettes aesthetic sdhahahaha

Now react to Born to die by Lana del rey!

The Brooklyn baby strays pissing me off bad

the guitar solo, in my opinion, is suppose to be clashing with everything, particularly her lyrics getting drowned down by the aggressive guitar. it's suppose to feel like how you are in a toxic relationship-trying your best to talk to your partner but you'd just get ignored and drowned out.

Not trying to hate on you guys bcs everyone is entitled to their own opinion and music is subjective and I actually enjoyed the video of reacting to something I like but I don’t think she’s glorifying abuse, she’s talking about her experience and that’s valid bcs music has no rules, just how some rappers talk about drugs and murder, some other artists talk about explicit sex and sexuality. I mean to each their own but just dropping my two cents:) and I actually like the heavy reverb because it’s meant to be like an experience, like your high on psychedelics or at least that’s how I see it. Anyway I love this álbum and cheers to your reaction lol

you guys should react to Kim Petras EP Slut Pop. if yall want hard beats and a good laugh i cant even imagine yalls reaction LMAO

You guys want to try her Born To Die album!

oh yall………………..i hope u come back to listen to this album after u listen to her other ones u just won’t get it until u do………………..

Hard watch

If u want beats do Born To Die

"Getting beat n u liking it the way its written you're glorifying it! 🤦" This was a good video. Shows you where her early critics came from. When you're enjoying Lana and you wonder wow her early critics how are they having such a different experience and getting all annoyed. This is helpful to see that. Teaches you people expect to listen to stories they resonate w n understand, same thing w sonics. It's not wrong to want her stories to sound different and her songs to sound more catchy. Be more like the others. I would definitely feel that way if I started listening to her today, boring stories boring music why so edgy, too different.

"The crystal had a song called "he hit and it felt like a kiss" like.... Thats messed up. Theres only a certain porcentage of people that would understand whats that about, most prople would be like: how dare you promote domestic violence" -Amy Winehouse

Fire

Think u guys would like born to die MUCH more. Idk if you reacted to that yet tho

yall have the attention span of a 3 yr old

YALL RELEASE THE NFR REACTION, PLEASEEE ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOUND FROM THIS

I never got into Lana for real.. i guess the one I used to listen like crazy was hmmm..oh I remembered, Venice Bitch. The guitars were lit. React to ANA FRANGO ELÉTRICO. She is a Brazilian artist that is getting very acclaimed internationally. Its a vibe

lana del rey com certeza não é pra pessoas básicas como vocês

yeah... all the comments are kinda too sensitive imo lol, yall have to realize people not familiar w lana's music will not understand everything about it and for not knowing her, they don't do a bad job at guessing stuff. just be respectful about telling them about it, no need to be rude yall i will say, the difference between mitski fans and lana fans sure are something... didnt see one rude/'just a man' comment on the mitski videos but lana fans are just really rude if you don't immediately understand every meaning of every song

Lana freestyled pretty when you cry and just started and came up with lyrics as she went

I view the comments as rather rude, so I’m here to say even as a Lana fan I was underwhelmed listening to this album for the first time, but now I like it. Some people don’t like her music and that’s ok, most Lana fans need to accept that. 😅 Y’all mentioned in the video that you like hiphop so suggest you to listen to another of her albums called “lust for life”. It’s not exactly hiphop but I has some nice songs featuring asap rocky, playboi carti and the weeknd. Maybe give her another chance and if not that’s also ok 🫶

i appreciate your honesty🫶🏼 tbh i feel like if you focus more on the lyrics in the future you’d get it more. I do feel like you guys would enjoy the born to die or lust for life album more (lust for life has the weekend on it and Asap rocky which i love their voices together sm). I am looking forward to seeing you guys get converted in the next listen tho haha

Dislike

As a lanastan, seeing someone laughing on her album especially ULTRAVIOLENCE is very disrespectful, all i can say is dig deeper if u r listening her!

Money, power, glory has an unreleased version ft the weeknd :D

do us all a favor and never react to lana del ray ever again

it was hard to remind my self that taste is subjective while watching this

These guys are not part of Lana's audience. I get it 😅

Just commenting to say not all Lana fans are toxic… cause these comments are brutal lol Music doesn’t hit the same for everyone and that’s okay. If y’all continue listening to her I think you’ll find some you like and some you won’t. Each album has its own vibe and sound in my opinion, but still the same Lana atmosphere. Hope the hate doesn’t discourage y’all from listening to more Lana

try like lust for life or born to die they like happy pop music kinda idk
