The Fat Angel Sings

Lana Del Rey previously said that her second album of 2021, “Blue Banisters” , would be out on July 4th, which came and went, and now she has given the album a new release date of October 22nd via Polydor/Interscope and shared its fourth single, “Arcadia.” Lana wrote and produced it with Drew Erickson, and self-directed the video, and similar to the three earlier tracks, it finds Lana sticking to her minimal, ethereal side.

Listen and watch the video below.

I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now. f you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier. They chronicle the beginning. This song hits somewhere in the middle and by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today. As much as the on going criticism has been trying, it at least has pushed me to explore my own family tree, to dig deep, and to continue to exhibit the fact that God only cares about how I move through the world.

And for all of the skepticism about feigning fragility and unreasonable explanations of not showing general accountability- I must say I’ve enjoyed moving through the world beautifully- as a woman with grace and dignity. Thank you to my friends over the last 18 years who have been an example of attraction not promotion. I’ve never felt the need to promote myself or tell my story, but if you’re interested this album does tell it- and does pretty much nothing more.
