Lana Del Rey - "Summertime" and American Standards & Classics

[POP!]

Queen of not giving us what we want.

She announced the four to six month delay of Chemtrails and is giving us a covers album on Christmas day instead.

Here is the first track "Summertime" premiered a few minutes ago.

 

[Dark Carnival]

But of course! Summertime is SUCH a LANA song isn't it?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Is she on drugs though?

 

[Zu]

Is she on drugs though?

When ISN’T SHE?

 

[POP!]

Is she on drugs though?

Quite possibly!

To be fair, the jazz genre suits her quite well... it's just not my cup of tea AT ALL. Hopefully there is some variety in her choices on the album.

 

[Zu]

I’m not averse to the prospect of a covers album and obviously she’s going for maximum perversity by including Summertime on an album which is coming out ON CHRISTMAS

 

[Dark Carnival]

When ISN’T SHE?

IKR? Though she looks more on COKE than her usual WEED here.

 

[Zu]

List your LANA DREAM COVERS here please girls

 

[Dark Carnival]

TOXIC

 

[AGinAg (37)]

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry

 

[Dark Carnival]

Bitch Better Have My Money

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Don't Give Me Your Life by Alex Party

 

[POP!]

I'm DYING for her to cover "Lilac Wine".

 

[Zu]

Maybe she could appeal to that all important POLISH MARKET with a nice beatsy cover of this uplifting classic

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ullo John! Got A New Motor by Alexei Sayle

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The King Kong Song by ABBA

 

[Zu]

I'm DYING for her to cover "Lilac Wine".

Oh that would be fantastic

POP HER A NOTE THROUGH

 

[lolly]

Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day by Gilbert O'Sullivan

 

[POP!]

Oh that would be fantastic

POP HER A NOTE THROUGH

She might call me a fxcking bitch if I do. I'm scared!

 

[Zu]

She might call me a fxcking bitch if I do. I'm scared!

It would be an honour and a privilege if she did. Do it!

 

[Zu]

‘Day Trip To Bangor’ would be nice, given that selfish Geru hasn’t seen fit to grant us that folk album which she never promised in the first place

Slow it right down and give it the vibe of being stabbed by a very bad man whilst in the queue for a pasty

 

[Dark Carnival]

She needs to cover Orville Peck or at least work with him at some point.

 

[POP!]

Another genuine suggestion from me:

 

[Zu]

She needs to cover Orville Peck or at least work with him at some point.

Can’t say I’m too enthralled with that notion although as long as she keeps away from the dreaded ANOHNI AKA Foghorn Fanny

 

[RJN]

I hope she covers Fairytale of New York and says faggot

 

[Zu]

ME AND LITTLE ANDY PLEASE

 

[RJN]

Her cover of Doin’ Time was better than expected so I’m tentatively excited about this.

 

[Pipo]

her take on Oasis' Stop Crying Your Heart Out

 

[funky]

I am SO confused about her release schedule no idea what's going. Also, imagine sampling a song and then releasing it again as a straight up cover. Has she run out of ideas?

 

[GNL]

I'm totally here for an album of standards.

It's probably quite wise to pivot to TORCH SONGS and JAZZ NUMBERS now the youths despise her.

 

[GNL]

I say, as if her discography isn't 98% TORCH SONG already.

 

[funky]

It definitely appeals to me. I really enjoyed George Michael's Songs Of The Last Century and I'm sure it's going to be along those lines.

 

[Zu]

I’m crossing fingers for HELLO DOLLY

 

[POP!]

Makes me think she's also going to cover "Space Oddity" after she already incorporated it into "Terrance Loves You", which I would actually be QUITE INTO...

 

[Phoenix]

Good I’m so over Summertime. She doesn’t have the range for it as well and she’s covered it before.

 

[Iguana]

Well.

The most interesting thing to me is that she's using her voice in a way that she hasn't really since the Born To Die era. It's a nice cover but I can't see myself listening to a standards album from her very often

 

[POP!]

She told us this album was coming "Christmas" - let's see if she delivers

 

[Jark]

another day, another deadline, another disappointment for our @POP!

She never said WHICH Christmas.

 

[POP!]

She lied to me again.
