Lana Del Rey Is A Huge Fan Of Billie Fucking Eilish

As soon as we fall asleep, we don't know exactly where we go, although chances are that Lana Del Rey listens to Billie Eilish's music any time if she dozes off. In a new interview with The New York Times, Lana revealed that she is an enormous fan of Eilish and that her fascination with the VMA for Best New Artist-winning singer came near instantly. Lana also discussed a little about working with Jack Antonoff for her forthcoming album Norman Fucking Rockwell and the urgency of recording "Looking For America" soon after successive shootings earlier this month.


Once asked about the state of mainstream pop now, Lana already knew exactly what to mention about who she was a fan of. "I love Billie Eilish, and I feel like I've Been waiting for this time in pop-music culture," she mentioned. "I can tell if a women pop singer, for instance, has a generosity of spirit or a playful fire in her heart. With Billie, she's prodigious. I need to hear one line of one melody and I just know." She also discussed briefly about feeling good about influencing a new generation of artists because of how much she loves her own music.


Lana also delved into what it seemed like working with Antonoff on her new album. "I was at a party and I met him and I didn't even really hope to go down to the studio, because it was winter and I was chilling," she mentioned. Yet then we wrote a song in about 40 minutes – 'Love Song' – and I was like, 'You are so good, would you mind recording me live, to no track, singing this song that I've journaled called 'Hope Is A Dangerous Thing?'" And I really admired how he captured my voice without instruments. I thought, fuck it, let's make an album."


Towards the end of the conversation, she discussed briefly about "Looking For America." "Every right now and then, like for instance with the Amazon burning, people wake up and they're like, wow, this isn't just a passing phase," she mentioned. "There's something exceedingly wrong. I like to stay on the periphery, however as soon as you have successive shootings like that – should I mention that's any it is about time to mention something? It definitely was for me."


Lana's sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell drops on August 30 and yes it features the previously released singles "Mariners Apartment Complex," "Venice Bitch," "Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have – Nevertheless I Have It," her cover of Sublime's "Doin Time," "Fuck It, I Love You," and "The Greatest." She's heading out on a tour in support of the LP in September.
