Putin 0 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Lana is literally on the same lyrical level as Gaga. She stuffs her work with her own repetitious cliches. I like her, I think shes cool, but its kind of obnoxious the way pop stans are limited enough to think so highly of her and her lyricism especially. I cringe everytime I see some basic rant about how poetic and hauntingly beautiful her music is. I agree. I like LanaĆāĀ“s music more sonically than lyrically. It was just my reaction to that awful comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklistedd 599 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Repetition in artistry breeds image and iconic status. Ā That comment was in response to a user belittling Gagas lyricism in comparison to Lana's. Im not anti-repetition and im anything but anti-Lana. But regardless, she isn't our generations calling of Fiona Apple or PJ Harvey or Tori Amos or any number of other alternative and against the grain female singer/songwriters. Shes on the same level as Lady Gaga and Rihanna and Madonna and what ever other "pop tart" you can think of. She just comes in alternative packaging. And im not saying theres anything wrong with that, I just roll my eyes when people start getting condescending about Lana in regards to Gaga as if shes in this league lightyears beyond creatively.

Lana is genuine, her music is in a mold of its own crafted by herself and an expert team of well selected lesser-known producers. Her music is alternative because it doesn't sound like much else, particularly her unique BTD sound, and because it clearly isn't pop. She doesn't chart that well and her music isn't comparable to anything on the radio. Lana is Lana and there aren't many people like her sonically or lyrically. Her lyrics are fantastic, and the only way she is comparable to Gaga is through their songwriting talent. As Gaga says, pop will never be low brow. Pop music is not always easy to write, and alternative music isn't either. Gaga and Lana excel in their respective genres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Im sorry I just completely disagree with your point of view on Lana Del Rey. I like her aesthetically and I think shes a cool alternative version of a very commercial mainstream artist with her minimal look and noir sound which compared to other stars upon her release was refreshing. But shes really not as unique and "new" as you're giving her credit for. Its a thin porous line so im not down to fully delve into a debate about pop vs. alternative because it is arguable, but imo shes certainly not groundbreaking or against the grain enough to really be alternative. Shes just a cool alternative version of a pop star imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Draco 2,531 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I prefer Music to Watch Boys to. Honeymoon is nice, but seems weak after we had MTWBT. Ā This exactly. I will take what I can get though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkmytears 2,332 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 But she still hit #1 and gained the critical praise that Born To Die lacked. It sold quite well for an album that was supported with little to no promotion and had absolutely no support from any sort of Top 40 hit.
