    We've heard Lizzy Grant and Lana Del Rey sing before, but this is the first time we hear Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. Lana has reached a point in her career where she doesn't need to make up stories to sing her songs, her reality is interesting enough, the proof of that is "Fingertips".

It's a cohesive album, with deep lyrics and exactly pleasant melodies, starting with a gospel style, through experimental pop and ending in trap. It's an experimental album, one that could go very well or very wrong, and Lana reinvents herself by releasing one of the best acts of her career.… Expand

    Sem dúvida um dos melhores álbuns da Lana, superou meus álbuns favoritos como o Ultraviolence e se tornou meu queridinho.
    Um álbum repleto de ritmos diferentes, com um lado pessoal da Lana onde em algumas músicas podemos sentir como se fosse uma carta aberta, já em outras músicas sentimos a emoção de uma Love Song.

    Such a great album only coming from the greatest songwriting of this century. The encapsulation of Lana Del Rey’s eras into this album was definitely what made it such a strong contender in her discography. It literally takes the listener on a journey that feels like a tunnel and they find the light towards the end.

    Terrific experience of an album, it's incredible how she created such a cohesive album summing up her entire career, I really think it's the album that reflects on her as a person and artist the most.

    This album is pure genius. It's a Masterpiece.
    There's so much detail to each song and the vocals are so ethereal, bold and rich say the same time. It's like she poured herself out in every song.

    Just a masterpiece, every single song has something to say and know how to do it. Is just the opposite to a simple and basic album

    this album makes you travel through lana's reality, an album that talks about her life, family, her legacy and how she wants to be remembered. She immerses you in sadness through poetry and then forget about it with her last three songs and return to her reality of the moment. It's like watching a movie and you can imagine everything.

    This album is a masterpiece. Lana did that again! As good as NFR, the level of intimacy, poetry… she’s the greatest songwriter in our generation and her angelic voice just match with her lyrics to create an unique atmosphere. Again, she’s the greatest.

    Um álbum delicioso e muito sensível. As letras retratam o íntimo da cantora e as melodias conseguem acompanhar o sentimento que Lana quer passar.

    Lana Del Rey's Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd cleverly frames family dynamic and individual existentialism through a nuanced, and at times, purposefully chaotic lense. "Ocean Blvd." finds Del Rey exploring uncharted territory, whilst also fleshing out her previous works, most notably in Taco Truck x VB.

    Lana is the most versatile artist of today. The album has it all and there’s nothing much more to say than it’s absolute perfection at Lana‘s most vulnerable.

    Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is a 16-track, 78-minute album, and some of it will lose even her most ardent fans. Track eight is where it regains itself through the extended metaphor of “Kintsugi”: a Japanese term for a pottery repair technique that calls attention to the crack rather than hides it. .... [After “Margaret”] There are three more tracks, though.

    If you've not already bought into the LDR mythos, it's like joining a long-form TV show midway through its difficult fourth season. [Jun 2023, p.26]

    So while Del Rey is still the same sepia-tinted, sun-soaked American aesthete that she once was, there are real lifetime stamps all over Did you know that conjure a biographical sincerity, instigating a personal closeness.
