Honestly, can’t wait to spend 2020 listening to Lana get down to some beat poetry.
The singer, who dropped her most recent LPViolet Bent Backwards Over the GrassReleasing a poetry collection, however, seems to be causing quite a bit of bother for Ms Del Rey. In an Instagram video, the “Video Games” chanteuse said that given her book of verse was being hand bound, it was taking a hot minute. So, in the meantime, she had decided to record and release a spoken word album instead.
“I knew I wanted the album to be around a dollar because I just love the idea that thoughts are meant to be shared and that they were priceless in some way,” she said in a message to fans. “And there was a second part that I had been thinking of before releasing it, which was that I wanted half of what the spoken word album was going for to benefit Native American organizations around the country, whether it was for preserving their rights or trying to help keep their land intact.
“This was a while ago, and it kind of informed the next album that I’d been working on. And I just really wanted to sort of pay homage to the country that I love so much by doing my own reparation, I guess I would say, my own reparative act,” she added. “I know it’s a bit of an unusual choice and I have no reasoning for it other than it just feels right to me.
Speaking about what the album would sound like, Lana admits that it’s not “particularly polished”. It’s “a bit more gritty, she says, describing it as a “freestyle poetry”. The singer also shared that the record would be released on 4 January. By the sounds of it, this album isn’t replacing the poetry collection . It also isn’t the new album of music that she is working on, either. Speaking toWhite Hot ForeverBy the sounds of it, then, 2020 is just going to continue Lana’s current streak of greatness. Keep it coming.
