REVIEW: Lana Del Rey spends her ninth album taking a close look at herself, and reminds us she's in a creative class all her own.
Songs like the excellent “A&W” — named in reference to the phrase “American whore,” not the root beer — and “Fingertips” are two sides of the same life story-telling coin. Each ponder sexual development, an estranged mother and the harrowing reality of carrying trauma deep into adulthood. While “A&W” casts the spotlight on the media and her partners, “Fingertips” has her talking to a mirror, while looking to lean on her beloved father siblings Charlie and Caroline for support.
There’s an undercurrent of heartbreak beating beneath the surface, especially in the front half. . “It’s not about havin’ someone to love me anymore,” she bluntly states on “A&W.” She doesn’t go full scorched earth, instead opting to re-claim her own magic on “Sweet” or celebrating the gift of clarity: “When you know, you know/It’s time, it’s time to go,” she sings on the dazzling, subdued track.
In the midst of of her self-evaluation, Del Rey can’t help but look to her musical past, as well. Songs like the slithering “Candy Necklace” features that her 2012 debut-era coquette delivery that made it clear she was on a musical path unlike any other we were experiencing at the time.
and Riopy offer their extraordinary talents on their respective spots, giving a lounge feel as Del Rey lets her stream of consciousness reflections lead the way.
