It's a rip of whatever was uploaded on Tumblr, so I can't really confirm what source it's from. :sweat:

Oh okay. I was just wondering because although I ABSOLUTLEY LOVEDDD it, it sounded a little rough in the chorus, so I wondered if this wasn't totally HQ.

The file name is "01 Ride.mp3", so no :P

What would it say if were iTunes quality? Sorry I really don't know :sweat:

Well, this successfully rinsed the awful taste of Die Young right outta my mouth.

How could you think Ride is any less generic than Die Young? It's just beige adult contemporary sounding drollness.

It, in a way, reminds me of Johnny Cash. I could see him singing this

This is literally my only issue with Lana Del Rey. I think shes okay, her songs are pleasant. But so many of her fans mistake her music for something intellectual or important because its sounds slow and she injects this faux-vintage pout into everything she does.

Nothing Lana does should be compared to Johnny Cash. Nothing.

So what songs do we have from The Paradise Edition? I have Ride, Blue Velvet and Burning Desire.

But then I also have Backfire, Fake Diamond, Damn You, Boarding School, and Velet Crowbar.

I'm confused. :sweat: Someone please explain.

Well, I suppose it depends on how you define generic (because this is, indeed, a style that's been done before), but there's not really anybody that sounds like Lana Del Rey right now, certainly on the pop music scene. Just a cursory glance at the AC and HAC charts reveals that. Hers is a much richer, more cinematic scope than really any of her contemporaries are attempting. Now, her music is sort of a facsimile; it utilizes well-known signifiers to elicit very specific responses--so in that sense it's very "generic."
