Our Take

Ah, Lana Del Rey, the queen of vintage glamour and melancholic tunes. Her latest offering, "Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass," is a departure from her usual dreamy pop sound, as she explores spoken word poetry over haunting melodies.

The album opens with the title track, a mesmerising piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Lana's sultry voice weaves through imagery of twisted flowers and broken dreams, drawing the listener into her dark and mysterious world.

Tracks like "Grenade" and "Quiet Waiter-Blue Forever" showcase Lana's poetic prowess, with vivid storytelling and emotive delivery. Each word is carefully crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, like a faded photograph tucked away in an old shoebox.

However, some may find the lack of traditional song structures and hooks a bit jarring, as Lana's ethereal musings may not be for everyone. But for those willing to take the plunge into her twisted fairy tale, "Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass" offers a captivating journey through the shadows of her mind.

In conclusion, Lana Del Rey's latest effort is a daring departure from her usual sound, showcasing her versatility as an artist. While not everyone may be on board with her spoken word experiment, those who appreciate her poetic lyricism and brooding aesthetic will find much to love in this hauntingly beautiful album. So, put on your vintage sunglasses, dim the lights, and let Lana's hypnotic words carry you away to a world where violet bends backwards over the grass.
