Well it's definitely nice, everything she does is at least nice... but overall I'm a bit disappointed. I'll come back to it though. Only listened once.

 
I think anyone expecting anything other than variations on the established themes is always going to be sorely disappointed. It's going to be case by case - who is she working with, how good are the lyrics this time, is there an overarching theme etc etc. Bit like The Fall. Only with several million more people find the results listenable.
 
Okay the only bit of the song I've heard is in that tiktok, but that's like a PARODY of a Lana Del Rey song surely :D She's the new ENYA!
 
Last week, when she hadn't just released a new single, she was in the top 30 most listened to artists on global and US spotify. The only female artists above her were Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna

Hardly underground

Maybe it's a UK/US thing. In the UK I've not heard anyone talk about her since the Born To Die era!

I see people re-post her music on insta now and then but she seems much less talked about than 2011-2015. But that's to be expected. There was some renewed buzz around Norman and heard people rave about "Doin' Time", "The Greatest" and "Venice Bitch". Hopefully she returns to that exposure with this album. The rollout seems much more thought out this time around and she seems to have built a lot of goodwill between Blue Banisters and now.
 
I think the reason is because she doesn't have hit singles, but she does have hit albums. It's almost surprising when you look at her singles chart runs compared to her spotify streams. She's massive on streaming overall, but she's only ever had 3 top 10 singles in the UK and the last one was in 2013.
 
Or maybe I’m just younger and hipper?
Nah. Most big female artists having a new album out would be in the news of any channel here: Rihanna, Swift, Grande, Gaga, Beyoncé... LDR would never get that, she's not that mainstream.

Well those are 5 of the biggest artists in the world :D

I can’t speak for any other country, but among young people in the US, I think Lana del rey is mainstream
