Album of September : Lana Del Rey’s Norman F**king Rockwell
Do I love Lana Del Rey? Yes… YES I DO! She is living art, and I love that her songs are all about the same ol’ heartbreaks but reinterpreted and re-visualized in every record. For Lana, hearts have broken the same no matter what era, place, or genre of music. I find that tragically beautiful, which is 100% LANA. In Norman F**king Rockwell, Del Rey envisions ordinary life as vividly as the legendary painter.
“The Next Best American Record,” “”Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – but I Have It,” and “Fuck It, I Love You” have Lana singing to the shame and loveliness of giving into someone out of deluded euphoria. It is not just about the “honeymoon phase” of love; relationships are also about the tethering a person can have to the illusion they have themselves and their partner. If Lana Del Rey is anything, she is illusive and fantastical. Her voice feels like the moon; waning light through the night sky to show you love can be a toxic dream but we can’t stop dreaming of it. ISN’T THAT SOMETHING?

From “Doin Time” to “Happiness Is A Butterfly,” Lana Del Rey proves she is an artiste. This album’s music blossoms like a vision board and furthers Lana as a story-teller. You can’t help transport yourself to “California,” and see the struggles to love, dream, and feel truly alive under its sunny palm trees and amongst beautiful people. Yet, most importantly, Norman F**king Rockwell solidifies that Lana Del Rey is an aesthetic. Her cultish following stems from her ability to feel like a culture: brimming social commentary, art, hopes for the people, and wisdom on love.
