That's got to be the most terrifying thing in the world, and there are lots of people who manage to go through a career and not have that happen.Ībsolutely. There's something to be said for that when you live the kind of life you live: I read that you've had people break into your house. So for me, it was sort of like another commitment to finding that place where I can be creative. My songs really do come to me when I'm, like, in nature, and usually by myself, at least the beginning of them. kind of doing whatever it takes to find that quiet place, no matter how far you have to drive. My intention with that song was literally finding one quiet physical place to spread out on and just be, without anyone looking at me - especially on a beach, when I'm in a bathing suit. There's so many layers to this song for me: This idea of "dripping peaches" kind of reminded me of a Dali painting, and I'd have to sort of sing it to make it make sense. And so it's about finding that place where you can just be quiet. Gosh, call it luxury problems, but it's about passing every beach from Santa Monica until you get to Ventura - 13 beaches. The song "13 Beaches" seems to capture some of that - tell me a little about the inception of this song. There's a lot of energy that floats around you as a famous person I've seen videos you've posted where you're walking through an airport and there's flashbulbs going off everywhere. I said, "That was bad, my voice was breaking." And she's like, "I like that it was breaking. I got on the microphone and I had, like, red-light fever because she was watching me. She wanted me to go in and do something at the end, like a little tag.
I remember so many different things about that session. When you first met her in the studio, what was going through your mind?
She gave me a little golden diamond H, cause she always joked about how when I got older, I would live in the H and she would live in the W of the Hollywood sign - turn it into a little A-frame house. She wanted to take the second verse and step into it. What's that like?įunny enough, I had wanted her to open the song - 'cause, you know, she's Stevie. I know you're really involved in mastering and and mixing your music, and so you have your hands on her raw vocals. I want to talk about Stevie Nicks, who sings on "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems." There's such a great interplay between your two voices: You open the song and when she comes in, you can really hear the saltiness in her voice in a different way. That song features The Weeknd, but you've got some other really wonderful cameos on the album: A$AP Rocky, Sean Lennon, Playboi Carti.

We spoke about her latest album, Lust for Life, and its contributions from Stevie Nicks and T he Weeknd. Lana Del Rey came in to World Cafe the day after playing a show in Philadelphia. Maybe it's because there's an ethereal quality to the way Lana performs, and a vintage glam about her look that can make her seem like more of a beautiful apparition than a real person. Jokes aside, I think many people share that impression in a way. She wrote back, "Wait, what? I thought Lana was a hologram." That show remains one of our favorite concert memories and so I was excited to tell my sister I would have the chance to interview Lana for World Cafe. I'm certain we weren't the only sister pair in the crowd. Lana Del Rey looks back on lyrics from her younger years and talks about the #MeToo movement.Ī few years ago, I took my sister to see Lana Del Rey perform on her Endless Summer tour.
