    I don’t care what anyone says, this album is pure GENIUS!
    It’s so strange, but weirdly covers the whole musical spectrum, it has everything in it, pop, hip hop, jazz, blues, rock, country, folk, disco, techno, it’s got it all! It really foreshadows how each of her future albums would embody a different genre of music each time. All of the ideas were already present even back then.
    Let’s not forget this was created around 2007-2008. It was shelved for 2 years by the label and wasn’t released till 2010 then shelved again. To think someone was making music like this back then is crazy. The title for this album is perfect because she actually was transforming into Lana Del Rey here, it’s enthralling to see this stage of her musical process.
    (also justice for brite lites!!!)

    fun fact: Lana referenced put me in a movie in her song high by the beach from the honeymoon album
    "Lights, camera, acción
    I'll do it on my own
    Don't need your money, money
    To get me what I want"

    she actually stopped singing higher not only because her voice matured, but because she said that if she signs like that she wouldn't stand out, so she evolved her low range and used it in her btd, paradise, uv eras, now she sings not so high, but no so low, just little glimpses of those tones here and there, and the love how chameleonic her voice is

    The imperfection of the production is what (among other things) made me fall in love with this album and the rest of her unreleased. It felt spontaneous, playful, alive and a little crazy. Everything is so over-produced these days and I appreciate some rawness, it keeps the original spark/idea of the song alive. It might be "all over the place" but I also think the messy of it is a sort of red thread which binds it together, a raw expression of the life she lived back then.

    i’ve always loved lizzys songs, i’m obsessed with “the man i love” i think at the time of writing this album she truly did live in a trailer park, and tried as much as she could to romanticize her lifestyle through words and references to 20th century America

    The chorus of Kill Kill when she says "I'm in love with a dying man" it's kind of a play with the words so you can hear "I'm in love with a diamond". And it makes more sense to the title hahaha

    Smarty is Lana! There's actually another unreleased song where she refers to herself as that. "You gotta be smart, and I'm a little smarty." I'm guessing it's a nickname one of her old boyfriends used to call her. Imo the song is actually about domestic violence. "Beat me and tell me no one will love me better than you do" and the chorus is her saying all the things her boyfriend says to her to get her to stay. Praising her face/beauty, her voice, and telling her that it's actually her choice to stay with him despite how he treats her.

    I first started to listen to Lana in 2012 so all I had heard was the Born to Die album. The first song I heard beyond that was Raise Me Up (Mississippi South). I was like, daaamn she can do this too! I loved it, and then heard Yayo and even though it is not on this album, You Can Be the Boss. Her songs all sound different, but that is the appeal. And if you didn't like this version of Brite Lights, there is a rock version you may like better. Here's the link.
