With
the creation of her Lana Del Rey persona, singer/songwriter Lizzy Grant
stitched together the iconography of a fading American dream with
soaring but melancholic pop songwriting, becoming an icon unto herself
in the process. Her distinctive approach blurred sadness and longing
just as it did past and present, drawing on the influence of classic
American pop while integrating modernized touches like trap beats and
millennial cultural references. With sixth album Norman Fucking
Rockwell!, Lana Del Rey expands her vision with the most daring and
vulnerable work of her catalog. One of the first noticeable shifts is
how subtle the album's sound is. Where 2017's Lust for Life had its
share of huge drums and booming dynamics, many songs here are free of
drums completely and tend towards far more solitary atmospheres. A
strong classic rock influence comes through on many songs, with the
softly building pianos and acoustic guitars on tracks like "Mariners
Apartment Complex" or the apocalyptic "The Greatest" sounding like the
best of '70s FM radio reworked around Grant's smoldering, exhausted
vocals. Even though Stevie Nicks' witchy mystique has long been a
reference point for LDR, this particular brand of classic rock -- silky
guitar solos, compressed drum fills, and lingering, mournful outros --
is unlike anything she's attempted before. The most exciting aspects of
Norman Fucking Rockwell! come in these unexpected moments. A faithful
reading of Sublime's "Doin' Time" contorts to fit Grant's moody
approach, becoming an extension of her own expression rather than a
goofy, ironic cover. Where huge pop hooks met eerie melodrama on
previous albums, here both extremities of that formula have grown more
understated and direct. "Venice Bitch" is the best example of this. The
nine-minute song begins with gentle strings and soft, hopeful melodies
but winds into a long, meditative stretch where synth textures and
hypnotic repeating vocals bleed into walls of noisy guitars. While much
of her older material reveled in its own inconsolable sadness and
detached numbness, the lush sonics and intimate narratives of Norman
Fucking Rockwell! draw out hope from beneath desolate scenes. The
patient flow, risky songwriting choices, and mature character of the
album make it the most majestic chapter of Lana Del Rey's continuing
saga of love and disillusionment under the California Sun. SHIPPING TO USA ONLY
