    "Blue Banisters" é a prova maior que Lana Del Rey é uma das melhores compositoras de nossa época. Aqui ela soa crua, descuidada e emotiva da melhor maneira. Se arriscando em vocais nunca antes vistos em seus álbuns anteriores e sem medo de se mostrar vulnerável. Destaques para Dealer, if You Lie Down With Me, Thunder e Living Legend.

'blue banisters' however stands out among her other projects that also possess this charm, projecting a wider diversity in sonics and vocals through the addition of intriguing elements. despite this, lana holds her ground as a melodic maestro and songwriting supreme throughout the entire one hour experience. the inclusion of recordings dating back as far as 2014, understates her consistency and legacy as one of the finer storytellers of the last decade.

    similar to her 7th project 'chemtrails over the country club,' released seven months prior, del rey takes charge and goes deeper with driving her songwriting towards an introspective, positive outlook longing for simplicity and community - swapping out her trademark 2012 hollywood glamour and gloom for john deere tractors, target parking lots and lockdown zoom calls all while feeling liberated and empowered by the company of her 'sisters,' demonstrating her ability to truly turn something blue into something beautiful.

    though the record's length and the complexities of some elements may be jarring at first, listeners will quickly come to appreciate how this album encapsulates a supercut through the years of her musical career, her life and where it culminates now all brought to fruition by some of her most personal and intricate writing.

    Eu amo a Lana, mas Blue Banisters é um álbum feito com sobras das piores músicas descartadas de outros albuns e que não tem salvação nem pelos instrumentais, que são preguiçosos e repetitivos, é o pior álbum da carreira..

    Her most personal album yet. She mixes in all of the best parts of her past albums.

    A set of drifting piano ballads that allow her rich and profane lyrics to hit home. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    While the days of Born to Die have long since passed, Lana Del Rey is still seeking paradise, closer now than ever as she turns her search inward, seemingly recognizing that paradise is ultimately found within the best of oneself. Still, if there is indeed a physical Arcadia to be revealed, it has not emerged in its entirety on Blue Banisters. That said, its intoxicating hints are enough to keep seekers thirsty.
