lana del rey - blue banisters

blue banisters is the eighth studio album released by one of my favorite artists lana del rey. it is nothing short of an incredible album, and in my opinion, it really deserves more love and appreciation within the music industry.

sonically, this album provides listeners with a folk-y pop/jazz treatment, with the overall composition of the tracks focusing on piano and lana's vocals.

lyrically, the album covers personal issues regarding lana and her family, including postpartum depression, daddy issues, heartbreak, and more.

how i would rank the songs (none of these songs are bad in any way, this is just how i would personally play the songs in order with bias:)

violets for roses

living legend

thunder

wildflower wildfire

blue banisters

cherry blossom

nectar of the gods

interlude - the trio

again, this album is absolutely perfect, i have no qualms about it whatsoever. i would and do recommend listening to it, you're missing out if you don't. lana is a most definitely talented ass musical witch (cheeky little AHS reference) and no one can convince me otherwise .
