Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey talks about her own life experiences in the masterpieces of her recently released album, ‘Blue Banisters’.
Before Lana Del Rey deactivated her Instagram account, she thoughtfully let her fans know that she will be dropping her seventh studio album, ‘Blue Banisters’ very soon and it will tell her story and nothing more. It is extremely clear and to the point for the artist as most, all her creations are encrypted with powerful messages. The new 15-track album is a much improvement from her last one ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’ released earlier this year. The album features her signature soothing yet powerful vocal performance bringing out the luminous essence of her pleasant self-deprecating and witty lyrics. The songs feature a supple instrumental flow that brings out the true brilliance of her creative artistry.
The album has perfectly captured Lana Del Rey’s rawest emotions in both its resonance and lyrics. The songs are much more mature than her previous works and present her as a more thoughtful songwriter than before. She has taken the help of several producers in the album but her own musical approaches and methods are highly prominent. The songs feature the essence of her musical creations from each era and form a brilliant acoustic ambiance effortlessly. Released on Friday, October 22nd, the album has gathered mostly positive responses from both the audience and critics.
The album opens with the captivating number, ‘Text Book’ depicting her troubled relationship with her father and her break up with Live PD star Sean Larkin. It has all the flavors of a classic Del Rey song being highly sincere and emotional. She has fully utilized her exemplary vocal strength and presented a powerful vocal performance making the song penetrative. With every change in the tempo, her majestic voice adjusts accordingly without a fail. This song is a complete opposite and far better than her last album’s opening track, ‘White Dress’ featuring disappointing whisper-singing.
The instrumentation in the album deserves a round of applause. It makes her voice shine even more as she delivers heartfelt lyrical storytelling. Lana Del Rey is seen in a conflict over settling down and starting her own family while she cannot deny that she is one of the greatest contemporary musicians. She acknowledges how fame complicates relationships in the songs. The most promising songs of the album are ‘Nectar of the Gods’, ‘Cherry Blossom’, ‘Living Legend’, and more. The album, ‘Blue Banisters’ is currently available on all major streaming platforms. Stay updated about her through her social media.
