I have a lot of conflicting feelings about Lana Del Rey. Her lyrics can be extremely repetitive but at the same time, I kind of like how consistent she is. I love her whole Priscilla Presley aesthetic.
I do wish she'd do more uptempo songs (and use her upper register more) rather than the monotone mournful wailing she's been doing lately.
I don't know; she does have some objectively bad songs, but I can't help but like them. Especially Serial Killer. One really has to be in a certain mood for them, though. They're perfect if, say, you're drunk on gin by a hotel pool in a robe while smoking cigars and brooding over ex-lovers or whatever.
Favorites are definitely Off To The Races, The Other Woman, Yayo, Serial Killer, Black Beauty, Old Money, National Anthem, Terrence Loves You, and Teenage Wasteland.
