Lust For Life Album Review

Lust for Life

Lana Del Rey

★★★★★

Lana Del Rey is possibly my favourite singer and I love all 4 Studio Albums in which she has produced! Now it is time for a live reaction to Album 5 - Lust ForLifee.

I have waited months for this album and the lead up with 5 strong singles had me go into excitement overload. I am just going to give my take on the album and talk about how I feel.

Love - A powerful song with strong vocals. Lana lets us realise the effects of the new age on the young and how powerful music, media and current problems are.

Lust for Life - Firstly, the song should have been given more praise at its initial release! I love the blend of Lana and The Weeknds voices and harmonies are perfect. A great title track.

13 Beaches - I like this one too, the high notes on the chorus are to die for! A song about not dealing with a man who won't give her attention. Also loved the start of this song. 

Cherry - Harmonies are beautiful! Another song with such powerful lyrics! A song about breaking down and her life is falling to pieces when she is with her man. Okay, I wasn't prepared when this high note just popped out of nowhere. 

White Mustang - This has a nice vibe to it and once again those snippets of her voice going higher makes me so happy. Another gorgeous song.

Summer Bummer - This is an amazing Collaboration and I love the beat! I also am in love with Lana's book up to the chorus. I  really enjoy the rap mix in this song. It fits so well. 

Groupie Love - Out of the 5 singles released, this has to be my favourite! Again I am loving the hook, especially how each line leads to that higher note. Also, the last chorus when A$AP Rocky joins is perfection. I also love the lyrics to the song. 

In my feelings - She's singing fast at sections and she's doing it so well. This is also another song where we hear her strong high vocals but I also feel like this is showing a raw side to Lana's voice at particular sections. 

Coachella - Woodstock on my mind - This was such an under appreciated song! The lyrics are powerful and her vocals are on point. I love the beat of this song and honestly one of my favourites.

God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women in It. - This song is sending a very powerful message about recent events and just living in the USA. "Take me for what I am" Also the gun shots in the chorus are powerful. The harmonies towards the end of the song are gorgeous. And when she's singing behind the final chorus it fits so well. 

When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing - This is actually giving me throw backs to the born to die Album. I can't deal with the high notes... they are so bloody gorgeous. 

Beautiful People Beautiful Problems (Feat Stevie Nicks) - The combination of these 2 voices is genius! Lanas Harmonies on the hook on Stevies Verse is gorgeous! This song reminds us everyone has problems and we all just need to try and push through them. 

Tomorrow Never Came (Feat Sean Ono Lennon) - I definitely love the vibe to this song. Her vocals are really pretty. I also am loving Sean's verse. His voice is unique just like Lana. This song feels very old school. Omg Lana just came in with the Harmonies over Sean..... this is gorgeous. The bridge before the final chorus... it's brilliant. This could be one of my favourites of the record! 

Heroin - She seems very raw and vulnerable. It basically describes how heroin cures the pain of heartbreak, at the end, it then swaps to medication where I'm guessing she's gone to rehab. Powerful.

 Change - This has actually made me very emotional, it's beautiful. This high bit in the chorus is giving me feels. She's describing all the changes happening around the world and how it can make you scared but they will hopefully be for the better. 

Get Free - A Powerful way to end the Album! I'm loving the beat again. I'm loving the chorus on this one. It's all about being your own person by "coming out of the black, into the blue". Possibly my favourite off the record. This did not disappoint. 

As I am writing this, I have just finished listening to the album for the first time. That was amazing. Possibly one of the best albums of the year so far and out of all my favourite artists, I felt like Lana finally gave me a record that I was needing. I was not disappointed as there was not one record that I disliked. It was a powerful album and it was just beautiful. I loved all the collaborations on this and honestly, she has outdone herself. I've woken up to see she's #1 in 50 countries... the UK pissing me off as Now 97 is #1 and Lana is #2! 

My vinyl doesn't arrive until September so Spotify will just have to deal with me constantly playing songs over and over again. 

A great album Lana and thank you for blessing my ears... again!
