The gorgeous, noodly, endless coda to “Venice Bitch,” a three-minute pop song that slowly mutates to three times that length and peaks with Del Rey softly chanting, “Crimson and clover, honey / Over and over, honey / Over and over, honey / Over and over, honey.” The way a 14-track, hour-plus-long album packed with languid piano ballads ends with a lengthy, languid piano ballad called “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have-but I Have It” that nonetheless drops like a bomb, the intimacy enormously painful, the hope and the danger both serenely palpable. But it’s only one of roughly 10 billion highlights.Ĭheck out The Ringer’s look back at the best and most notable of 2019
#LANA DEL REY ALBUM 2019 RELEASE DATE FULL#
Del Rey’s narcotized and shrewd cover is, indeed, your best shot at hearing anything from her fifth and best album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, on the radio, given that you can’t even say the album’s full title on the radio or in the paper of record. “I love her so bad, but she treats me like shit.” Sublime’s Bradley Nowell was a little too cute to actually sing the word shit in the original, perhaps assuming, rightly, that the song would get a ton of radio play. “Me and my girl, we got this relationship,” sings Del Rey. “I’d like to hold her head underwater.” No pronouns or gender roles or murder fantasies were reversed in the course of reclaiming “Doin’ Time,” one of roughly 10 billion alternative-rock songs from the ’90s in which a dude complains bitterly about a lady. “The tension it’s getting hotter,” sings Lana Del Rey, belting it out just a little now, a blithe soprano swoop both ethereal and lethal.
