September saw the publication of her poetry collection, Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass. Tomorrow, Del Rey will hit the road back home to Los Angeles, preparing to spend Christmas Eve “with my sister and brother and just two girlfriends.” After the holiday, it will transpire she fractured her arm while spinning on her “beautiful skates” through the “twilight of the desert”: that’s why she’s wearing a sling in MOJO’s cover photograph.Įver since she studied philosophy at New York’s Fordham University in the late 2000s, there’s been a question lurking in Del Rey’s mind: what if something happened to make the world stop? “So when it did,” she says, “I was kind of shocked.” The pandemic has inevitably hampered her movements – festivals cancelled, studio time with producer Jack Antonoff truncated – but it hasn’t slowed down her creative jumps (or her willingness to crash into social media). We had a sweet little night singing all the old Disney and holiday songs – not what I expected after a long car ride, but everyone was in a good mood.” It’s pretty idyllic: Northern California, pretty cold, 40 degrees and a little fireplace. “I’m at his parents’ farm, so we’re in, like, the guest house. “I told my boyfriend I was going to go out and sit in the car because I hate it when people listen to me talk,” she says.
IT’S MIDNIGHT IN MODESTO and Lana Del Rey has swung into the backyard, pulled up in her fast car. “Fame can put you on the peripheries,” she told Victoria Segal, “ where the vultures can pick at you.”
But while serenity seemed almost in reach, some wounds still burned and grievances rankled. Her album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club, had opened a sunnier chapter in her controversial roman-à-clef, and folk legend Joan Baez had advocated her acceptance in the pantheon. This song hits somewhere in the middle and by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today.In 2021, MOJO had an exclusive audience with the Springsteen-approved laureate of L.A. “If you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier. “I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now,” she explained ahead of the latter’s release. Last year, Del Rey released two albums – March’s Chemtrails Over The Country Club and October’s Blue Banisters. “What I’ve come to understand is that if you follow what you’re interested in you’ll end up being the most creative in that field, even if you get a nine-to-five after you got the Decade award.” “I’ve been very lucky to follow my muse since I was 18,” she added. Accepting the trophy at the LA event, the musician said she was “super grateful” for the award and reflected on her start, saying her managers had picked her “out of the bar scenes, lounge singer scenes that I was singing in for about eight years.” In December, Lana Del Rey was named Artist Of The Decade at Variety’s Hitmakers awards ceremony. The next episode of Euphoria will air on Sunday, January 23 at 9pm ET. Euphoria is known for its impactful use of music in its scenes, elevating visual moments with a variety of songs, including well-known classics, under-the-radar cuts, and tracks written specifically for the show. The song’s title is unknown at the time of writing, while it is also unclear at present if the track will feature in the end credits or if it will play a bigger part in the episode.
