I swear I found time
to sit down and listen to Lana Del Rey’s new album and write a proper review of
it.
I swear a review was
actually written, and a proper one, too, mentioning song titles and lyrical
matter and Lana’s vocal performances, but then something happened, someone
attacked me and the world blacked out.
I swear I reread my
piece and realised to my utter confusion that I wrote the same review I did
last year when she released Ultraviolence.
Word for word.
This is last year’s review then, and the new one, sadly, had to be discarded. Sadly – because it
took effort and inspiration akin to those displayed by Lana Del Rey on Honeymoon. But just to say something, I’d like to quote an anonymous
reader reviewing/anticipating this new album months before its release:
‘Looking forward to
the one about a bad boy, and the one where she puts on a red dress’.
P.S. One song is called "High By The Beach".
