She just changed her Instagram, with an old picture of hers in blonde (also sister Chuck posted an old photo of hers on twitter)

I assume a relaunch of her first album or a compilation of old songs like Serial Killer etc.


She is also in the studio and was speaking of a new song, Music To Watch Boys To

Definitely. I can see it and I can hear it. I'm working on a new record now, and I have this one song, "Music to Watch Boys To." The title lends itself to a visual of shadows of men passing by, this girl's eyes, her face. I can definitely see things.

Back in 2012, she confirmed she brought back all the rights to the Lizzy Grant album from her old label, and confirmed it would be released that year. But that never followed through.

I hope that album does see a release. It's a great album.

I think she'd be confusing people too much if she reverted back to the blonde hair and going under her real name.
I hope Lana Del Rey is here to stay!

The Lizzy Grant album is great but definitely not commercial at all.

Is it on Youtube or anywhere? Wouldn't mind giving it a listen.

I don't find Lana's music very commercial anyway.

http://youtu.be/lXfov84ZSQw This should work. My favourites are probably Queen Of The Gas Station, Gramma and Smarty.

http://youtu.be/l95qtXAlxj0 I don't know if you've heard her demo album when she went by May Jailer. It's very different and not to everyone's taste but it's interesting to get an early insight into her music.

Since both Born To Die and Ultraviolence went to number one in the album charts I'd say it was.

We have been waiting for the re-release of the Lizzy Grant album for ages and it really is about time it appeared (not that her most committed fans don't already have it of course lol). This woman has approx 10 albums-worth of unreleased stuff knocking about on the Web - much of it better than most artists' released work! Imo she's one of the greatest songwriting talents of her generation.

Some of my favourite unreleased songs (check out youtube)

On Our Way
Paris
Damn You
Queen of Disaster

Commercially successful and commercial could mean two entirely different things...

I agree. There's no way Ultraviolence in particular could be classed as 'commercial' music. Lana clearly is not interested in writing singles that get to number 1 (given her extreme songwriting talent I have no doubt she could do so if that's what floated her boat)..

Thank you

I was pretty much going to say something similar to this

Her music isn't commercial in how Katy perry or Taylor swift is. Her songwriting style is in no shape and form to have catchy hooks and be number 1 for weeks on end and sell millions. That isn't how she or her label have marketed her.

But in her case it's still both. In fact it's like it was made to be used in adverts.

She looks very not-striking blonde. Its funny how a hair colour can completely change how someone looks. She doesn't look BAD, just completely different to how she looks with dark hair.

I guess its like Zooey Deschanel with a fringe and without a fringe. Like two different people.

Looks like she is indeed back. The next album would seem to be shaping up nicely and is entitled Honeymoon:
