Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind

5/22/2017

Key Lyric: Got A Million Things I Wanna Say / Like What Is It All For? Will It Be Okay?

With flowers in her hair, Lana Del Rey is the quintessential Coachella princess and the only artist capable of name dropping it with so much assurance and confidence

Lana Del Rey's fourth major label studio album is shaping up to be the artists most eclectic set yet. The singer recently released, “Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind” that takes her back to the hip-hop roots of Born To Die. It's hard to imagine it fitting within the contextual concept of an album with a “Lust For Life” and “Love”, but we know Lana is more then capable.

The singer revealed that she wrote this song at Coachella- fittingly enough. The song focuses on the political issues surrounding the world, she spoke about this on her Instagram, saying essentially that she felt ingenious to be enjoying life when all these things are happening in our geo-political climate.

Lyrics reference Led Zepplin's eternal, “Stairway To Heaven” and she talks about giving everything away if she could just ask God one question. The main draw of the song is it's topical lyrical content, but regardless it fits into Lana Del Rey's musical canon that she continue defies in regards to her muses.

Finding Prince Charming

8/1/2016

Logo has announced it's plans to enter the world of Reality Dating after green lighting a new show called Finding Prince Charming.

It's a spin on the eternal classic ABC hit The Bachelor and it's spin off The Bachelorette. 13 lucky gays will be picked to find their Prince Charming. They will all have washboard abs, $100 haircuts, and at least one pair of Gucci loafers at home.

Logo has attempted to make mainstream programming gay before. See the Throwback Thursday on The A-List New York (read here) that was billed as “the housewives with balls”. The most successful original programming they've managed to maintain is their trademark RuPaul's Drag Race. The only reason anyone truly subscribes.

This isn't the first time there's been a gay dating show. Does anyone remember Bravo's Boy Meets Boy? It was six glorious episodes of gay and straight men trying to win the affection of their suitor. The gays for true love and the straights for $25,000. It was all perfectly innocuous if slightly off putting.

At the moment the market is flooded with dating shows. Fox has Coupled that has a nice mix of representation, compared to the white washing of The Bachelor. VH1 has Dating Naked. Yikes. TLC is airing a new show called Love At First Kiss. The contestants walk in without a word and try to see if there's chemistry. It's all very straight forward and heterosexuals being weird. And, I'm sure there's some I've missed.

It will be interesting to see what Logo does to make Finding Prince Charming stand out. Will the gays fall in love with their other housemates? I would. Is there going to be diversity? As great as pool parties and thongs are I don't need 13 men in flannel vying for a man with similar taste in fashion and a jock body.

We don't need the gay Bachelor on Logo. I want a cast that reflects the diversity of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Undoubtedly season one will feature a corporate white gay that hits the gym before he goes in to work at eight. Logo will be playing for demographics and certainly the decision to cast Lance Bass as the host plays into that.

He's everyone's favorite gay boy band member. And we were all disappointed when it wasn't Justin Timberlake instead. I've never really warmed up to him, but maybe Finding Prince Charming will be what I need to turn that around.

I'm holding out hope that we'll have a celebrity bachelor. Steve Grand would certainly play into the trademark white gay look and who doesn't love an openly gay country singer. They could always pull from past reality stars. Reichen Lehmkuhl would be perfect. He was on The A-List New York, The Amazing Race, AND he dated Lance Bass. Talk about drama.

The show is expected to air at some point this Fall with eight episodes.

March Music 2016

2/29/2016

After an eventful January and February, March seems unlikely to match the set of high profile oddball releases. I'm not even sure The Life of Pablo is even finished and the noncommercial Anti already produced a number one, repetitive Caribbean flared banger with “Work”. February saw the massive uprising in the #FreeKesha movement. You can sign that petition here.

As of the time this article was written there is no date for Fergie's as of yet untitled and long delayed second studio album. It's rumored to be called Double Dutchess and is due to be released at the end of March. Celine Dion was supposed to have a French album released this month, but after the familial tragedy that struck it remains unseen whether the star will pass on that baton.

This Is What The Truth Feels Like
Gwen Stefani
March 18th
No Doubt front woman, Gwen Stefani is about to drop the most intense break up albums on the world has ever seen when she releases third studio set This Is What The Truth Feels Like this March. Scrapping previous singles “Baby Don't Lie” and “Spark The Fire” for new heartfelt material, the album is reported to be deeply personal. Gwen is currently going through a divorce with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale who cheated on her with the nanny.

Lead single “Used To Love You” is a bombastic return to the form and the fluttery second single “Make Me Like You” assures us that the album isn't entirely built on tears. Gwen is also be touching on her budding romance with country superstar Blake Shelton, who according to Gwen is only her second boyfriend. “Make Me Like You” also marked the first live music video to ever be aired on the Grammy's with all it's colors and car crashes.

Mind of Mine
Zayn
March 25th
One Direction star, Zayn Malik's first studio set as a solo artist is set for a release near the end of this month under RCA. A flagship of rape supporting Sony music. It's lead single “Pillowtalk” already launched onto the top of the charts in multiple countries.

Your favorite blogger will not be buying this album, but I will certainly be listening. “Pillowtalk” is sexy and slinky, but this faux R&B pop star hasn't released an inescapable banger yet. I also sincerely hope that this music video he released was his idea of “artistic vision”. He looked much like a lost boy amongst the naked embrace of his female costars.

The album cover is hardly original. Zayn's claims that it has no ties to Lil Wayne seems arbitrary and unbelievable considering that the similarly covered Tha Carter III launched with over 1,000,000 copies sold in it's first week in the United States. Zayn is building his career on originality and I'm not sure I believe he's anything more then a contrived pop star with a goal to impress us with his individuality.

We shall see.

The Paris Hilton Update

Where is the album?

Much like Rihanna, Paris Hilton has been teasing us out about her still unreleased second studio album. She's been signed to Young Money Cash Money, since 2013 and yet the album has not surfaced.

We've run through the lead single “Good Time”. It had Lil Wayne as a guest feature, although by this time his star power wouldn't have helped it gained radio play. He's been losing his grip at pop radio for some time now.

“Good Time” is a rave by the numbers pop jewel with Paris cooing over a seductive electronic beat. Paris is clearly hoping to recreate the success of “Stars Are Blind”. Sometimes she forgets how polarizing she is.

Buy "Good Time"

She followed it up with the breathy “Come Alive”, a beautiful, if not hit worthy song that she released in 2014. This song was the subject of the first post on this blog. You can read about it here.

Buy "Come Alive"

That fall we were supposed to have it's follow up “High Off My Love”. It's release got continually pushed off until 2015, and even then kept getting pushed forward. The video for the song had been filmed way back in 2014. We finally get it and it drips and drenches of BDSM. It's glorious, if the Birdman feature is unnecessary. You can read more about this song here.

And, let's not forget about the snippet of a music video she released for a song titled “Never Be Alone” that glistens with autotune and the sound of a club banger.

Buy "High Off My Love"

Part of these problems could be directly related to the problems YMCM is having at the moment. The formerly paternal bond of Lil Wayne of Birdman has ended in lawsuits. And, let's not forget that shooter who tried to take out Lil Wayne in the style of Notorious B.I.G.

The music label Paris has aligned herself with is having it's own conflicts and the heiress herself seems insistent on having a hit.

I don't see why this is necessary. It would be nice, yes, but her last album was not the Juggernaut she needs to follow up with an equal smash. As long as this album charts within the top 100 it won't be a commercial disappointment.

This is what she needs to do. Run a print campaign, go on TV. Be a tabloid star again. Get people talking about her and all the while be dragging her new music out along with it. Paris has matured though and I don't think that appeals to her.

She's been releasing new perfumes instead and conducting a photo shoot for the album booklet. But, this was last year.

There's a new song out entitled “Crazy” that has Paris Hilton on the vocals. DJ poet and Joshua Gomez are behind the scenes. It's an intense, boundary pushing, dance number worthy of her DJ status in Ibiza.

Younger Returns

1/4/2016

1 Comment

Younger is returning for a second season on TV Land this January. It will be having a one hour premiere on Wednesday the 13th. It picks up where season one left us, which wasn't much of anywhere. The shows plot line was for the most part wrapped up.

This season Liza continues to pretend that she is a young hip 20 something millennial. Sutton Foster is pretty, but there is some need to suspend our disbelief. None of her coworkers know how old she really is. Only her dear lesbian friend played by the eternally sexy Debi Mazar and her young sexy tattoo artist boyfriend Nico Tortorella know the truth.

There are some exciting things happening. Hilary Duff. The true queen of Disney Channel is in the recording studio. For Younger. All we can assume is she's vamping up the show's nonexistent theme song. As of now all we have is this dub step preview of a vamped up cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Little Lies", which is not nearly as bad as it sounds.

The truth is no one actually caress whats happening to Liza. Sure, she's the center of the plot line and the lead, but she's dull. She is the forty year old suburban mom just trying to make her way in New York City.

Maggie is the interesting component. Her zesty lesbian friend. Who is supposed to start sleeping with Kelsey's (Hilary Duff) best friend Lauren. This should not come as a surprise. Lauren did drop MDMA in her guests champagne at her Jewish Hotmitzvah. The girl is just exploring her sexual identity.

Hilary Duff is still messing around. Last season her character cheated on her douchey boyfriend with Norwegian (?) writer Anton Bjornberg. And, when she finally revealed it to him, it turned out he was also cheating. They are still together, so yeah for love?

Kelsey and Bjorenberg

Kelsey is a wonderful girl. It hurts my soul how confined she is in this relationship, but that is why we have mama Liza to coach her on her wrong ways. In the mean time. Thad. Kelsey's boyfriend is kind of hot.

Thad and Kelsey

Tragically, their boss Diana Trout (Miriam Shor) is still going to be having trouble with love. She is after all in love with her coworker Charles. Who is also clearly and passionately in love with Liza. However, he's too much of a gentleman to go for a lower level twenty some year old professional in his workplace. And, Liza is not about to cheat on Josh (Nico Tortorella).

They have unrequited love. If we make it to season four something is bound to happen. Until then, we will watch Diana Trout stare on from the distance while her eggs shrivel up.

And, if Trout ever finds out about Liza's real age. It will be over. Her career in publishing will be done. Trout has occasionally shown her kind heart, but it doesn't stretch to this kind of estrogen takeover and deception.

The two episode premiere is sure to be the highlight of January. If you missed season one be sure to check out the first Media Monday done on Younger titled Young Enough (read here) and the Snapshot Saturday dedicated to the always fashionable actor and model, Nico Tortorella (read here).

I Still Love You

11/23/2015

0 Comments

Nineties and mid 2000s icon Gwen Stefani has returned. Her much talked about new single “Used To Love You” has impacted radio. She's performed it on The Voice. The song harkens back to the ballad form of past solo releases “Cool” and “Early Winter” and “Don't Speak” if you include the iconic No Doubt hit.

This is the third single from her as yet untitled third studio album. It's a welcome return to form. And, hopefully one that will make strides on radio and turn into a mega hit. Last year she released “Baby Don't Lie” and the amusing if uneventful “Spark The Fire”.

Now Gwen has said of her new single that she's “not making music to make hits”. Bullshit. We all know that is not the truth. If she was making music to just release it we would already have the album. Just like she said we would back in December 2014.

Sales matter and Gwen hasn't had a serviceable hit, since “The Sweet Escape” in 2006. She's an aging pop star. A pop star we adore, but one that is aging none the less. People aren't buying albums the way they used to. We need some convincing.

I think “Used To Love You” does that. The song is clearly about her failed relationship with Gavin Rossdale. That right there gives it peak interest value. People want to know about that. The fact that it's catchy as fuck doesn't hurt anything either.

Now Gavin was the frontman of a nineties band Bush. They had some commercial success. He made his money, but they are hardly iconic.

Their divorce is messy. It's not messy yet, but it could be. It has the potential. The reason for the split hasn't been revealed. Yet. Which, is why this song is such an interesting piece of art for us to look at. We know it's about Gavin. Now we just got to put it together between the music notes.

Interesting enough it's been thrown around that her and fellow Voice host Blake Shelton have been very close lately. He is also going through a divorce to Miranda Lambert. I don't think this is the best decision on Gwen's part. They should both be grieving over their marriages. Not having hot middle aged sex. In my humble homosexual opinion.

I understand. It's a fling, but maybe they could wait until the papers are signed. Just out of respect for their partners. Blake has some rugged country boy charm. But, when he says “sweet iced tea” it sounds like “sweet assed tea” and that's not sexy.

Now the music video for this song is moving and low budget. Three minutes of close ups of Gwen's well put together face, crying. Being emotional. It won't win best video at the VMA's, but it's serviceable.

Buy "Used To Love You"

Her new album has not been given a name yet, but I will keep you updated. From what Gwen's saying we're going to be getting it sooner rather then later.

Legend

10/26/2015

0 Comments

RuPaul closes the end of his self confident anthem “Looking Good, Feeling Gorgeous” with a seductive “legendary!” This Media Monday a film hopes to recreate legends.

I have to say I haven't heard of either of these people. Legend is a distinctly British film. It centers on two twin brothers, Reggie and Ronald Kray. Two notorious gangsters in the East End of London for the better part of the fifties and sixties.

American's would be more familiar with Bugsy Siegel or Al Capone. They were our gangsters back when they were front page news. The British had Reggie and Ronald Kray. The screen adaptation of their real life story is going to be released on November 20th in the United States.

Tom Hardy portrays Reggie and Ronald on screen. Which, is certainly fine with me. Tom Hardy is low key beautiful and I certainly don't mind him being in this film.

The movie is based off the John Pearson novel Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins. He also wrote a fictional biography of James Bond's life as well as chronicling Ian Flemming's life. According to a plot summary of the film. It focuses primarily on Reggie Kray trying to control the psychotic tendencies of his brother Ronald.

Spoiler alert. Ronald was admitted to Broadmoor Hospital in 1979. So, Reggie didn't quite succeed. Especially after they were both imprisoned in 1969 on multiple charges. The movie also portrays Ronald as openly homosexual, so if you've been needing a gay icon. Have I got one for you.

The film has already been released in the UK. Way back in September. It's received middle of the road reviews. Some really like it, others not as much. There has been a lot of praise for Tom Hardy's acting in dual roles. I'm just going to have to see it and make my own judgment call.

Now. You are probably wondering how did I hear about this movie. You may recall my Throwback Thursday article “Endlessly Waiting” on Welsh singer Duffy (read here). The bitch is back.

Kind of. She's in Legend. Supposedly. Her role is that of American singer Timi Yuro. Decidedly, it's not a major role, but it should be one she can put her feet into. Duffy has been attempting acting roles. Notably in Patogonia.

Timi Yuro (above) and Duffy as Timi Yuro (below)

Seeing Duffy on screen is legendary. However, that's not what has me excited. She contributed to tracks to the soundtrack. She has two songs on the soundtrack. One of which is an original recording that reminds us why we need Duffy back.

The highlight of these two tracks is certainly “Whole Lot of Love”. It's bold, brassy. Signature Duffy. A track with right promotion that could easily impact British radio. It doesn't appear that they have those kind of ambitions for this soundtrack. The equally entertaining if not as ecstatic “Are You Sure” requires a few more spins in order to really catch on.

Buy "Whole Lot Of Love"

Buy "Are You Sure?"

Needless to say. I will be seeing Legend at a local theater near me on that Friday November 20th.

Disappointment In October

9/28/2015

0 Comments

The fall is usually the month of stellar or at the very least high profile music releases. This year October has chosen not to pull it's weight. As your favorite blogger, I feel like it's my duty to keep you updated on the music scene. Unless, Rih Rih or Kanye decided to drop their albums this month there's not much to talk about. Who knows, maybe Shania Twain will finally released her long awaited fifth studio album.

Janet Jackson
Unbreakable
October 2nd

Musical juggernaut Janet Jackson is back after an extended hiatus. It seemed doubtful we would ever get another studio outing, but Janet must have missed the spotlight.

The icon that she is, this is bound to be one of the most cohesive R&B released of the year. I've never been an invested fan of Janet Jackson, so I won't be buying it. However, I hope it sells well. It's always hard to see our legends fall. Lead single “No Sleeeep” got the remix treatment from J. Cole and it's just as slinky as you would expect. Certainly an album to look into.

The only other R&B album of note worth mentioning in October is Tamar Braxton's Calling All Lovers that's bound to be more of a commercial disaster then her three other albums.

Buy "No Sleeep"

Demi Lovato
Confident
October 16th

Be surprised that this teen pop star has made any mention on this list. I have for a long time not been a proponent of Demi's. Although, I bopped to “I Really Don't Care” as much as the next person.

It was with the released of “Cool For The Summer” that I decided to reevaluate her career. I still don't like Demi, but I'm giving her a second chance. Including Iggy Azalea on the track list is not helping matters. Second single “Confident” hasn't completely thrown me off, but still here we are. This would be the first Demi album I've purchased.

Her interview in Cosmopolitan this year did little to endear her to me, but damn did she look good. And if we're being honest I'm disappointed she didn't make out with a girl in the “Cool For The Summer” video. It's great that she's expressing her bisexuality in thinly veiled euphemisms, but visual confirmation would be great. As it is, it seems that she's some what hesitant on the subject and is almost embarrassed of it.

Another Disney pop star is also releasing her album. Selana Gomez's Revival will be out October 9th heralded with it's top ten hit “Good For You” and her slinky new image.

Buy "Cool For The Summer"

OMI
Me 4 U
October 16th

Out the same day as Demi's new album, new comer OMI releases his debut album Me 4 U. It will feature the inescapble number one hit “Cheerleader”. I'm one of the few people who genuinely enjoyed this song. The line “Do you need me? Do you think I'm pretty?” actually describes my life.

OMI is heralding in this concept of “reggae fusion” into the music market. His follow up single “Hula Hoop” does little to differentiate itself from it's predecessor. It works. It's perfectly catchy, but it makes me reticent to purchase this album. I don't need a full length of “Cheerleader” rearrangements.

Buy "Cheerleader"

I'm hoping that OMI will surprise me. I might get the album if I find it in a CD bin for five dollars. Other notable albums out this month include acapella group Pentatonix's first full length of original material. Lead single “Can't Sleep Love” did little to impress. Boy band 5 Seconds of Summer is also charting new material. It's bound to be one of the big sellers and lead single “She's Kinda Hot” bears more then one repeat.

Let's also not forget Carrie Underwood's new Storyteller due out October 23rd that started with disappointing lead single “Smoke Break” will herald the peak moment in Country music.

The Havana Brown Update

8/31/2015

0 Comments

I'm a little late on the charge, but I had to do my civic duty and update you on the wonderings of the wonderful and talented Havana Brown.

The last update I gave you was really prior rehashing of what she has been up to. As most of her mainstream commercial success has happened in Australia this is not general public knowledge. One of the blogs I read recently said she was one of the highest selling Australian artists.

He wasn't wrong, but he was stanning hard. Who are universally famous Australian recording artists? Olivia Newton-John, Kylie Minogue, and ACDC. Sia if you want to go current. Their platinum certification is 70,000 copies compared to the United States a million copies. The thresholds are wildly different. Havana Brown's “We Run The Night” sold over a million copies in this country. She might be one of the highest selling Australian recording artists, but that doesn't mean well renowned.

Olivia Newton-John has sold an estimated 100 million records.

Kylie Minogue has sold an estimated 70 million records.

ACDC has sold over 200 million records

Sia has sold over 25 million records.

Havana Brown has for over the past year being gearing up for a follow up to her sensational debut album Flashing Lights. I was hoping it would be slated for a 2014 release, and now I'm just hoping we get it in 2015.

So far five singles have been released to promote this album. None of which have attained commercial success the way “We Run The Night” or “Warrior” have. "We Run The Night" being the single that brought her to international attention.

“Whatever We Want” was a catchy banger. Original might not be how I would describe it, but obsessed with it none the less I was. It reached the top forty in Australia for one week and it seems unlikely that it will appear on her new album. Much like it's follow up “Better Not Said”.

But "Whatever We Want"

Now “Better Not Said” actually got a music video made for it. I liked “Better Not Said”, but it took a couple spins for Havana Brown's breathy vocals to take over me and for me to fall head over heels for this song. That is not the way a hit pop record is done. It not all that surprisingly also did not fare well.

Then her and DJ Walden worked up a remix of Sade's “No Ordinary Love” with Havana on lead vocal. This wasn't a hit for Sade back when they were popular. Not that they were the tantamount of smash hit after smash hits. Needless to say it did not slay the charts the way she wanted.

Buy "Better Not Said"

Buy "No Ordinary Love"

This was the song I stood for. “Bullet Blowz” was good. It was a club banger. Too much of a club banger for radio. That's a damn shame, because that song is amazing. Havana slayed it. Our bald headed boy DJ Kronic served up some sick beats. You couldn't figure out the name of the song to save your life. It was tragically not destined for success.

Buy "Bullet Blowz"

The song that is ready to go top ten is prepped and ready for war. “Battle Cry” has Bebe Rexha as a feature along with Savi. Savi is not important. Bebe Rexha you may know as one of the cowriters on Eminem's hit “Monster” and her own turn on Cash Cash's “Take Me Home”. Bebe Rexha is a multitalented powerhouse with a voice to kill for.

This song is a more pop direction. Potentially signaling the drop of the previous four singles as a change of direction for Havana. This song is pop with a big battle cry. It doesn't take more then one listen to realize Havana has returned and is ready to let us have it. This is the song that could relaunch her in the United States.

The music video? To die for. Literally. There are sexy shirtless men surrounded in a stilted western themed extravaganza where Havana Brown gets her revenge. The concept is already more original then the shoot she and Pitbull did for “We Run The Night”.

Buy "Battle Cry"

She croons. She slays. Havana Brown's “Battle Cry” deserves to top your end of summer playlist.

With any luck we should have a second studio album release by the end of this year. I will keep you updated. With even more luck it might even be released in the United States. Wouldn't that be nice. Shipping from Australia takes too much time.

A Fashionable Obsession

8/24/2015

It's finally happened. The queen of moody alt-pop has returned with a new album due for release in September.

Lana Del Rey spent the summer touring with Courtney Love on the Endless Summer Tour and putting the final details on her new album Honeymoon. The album has been in the works, since recording sessions for Ultraviolence finished last year.

Last year's full length featured production credits from Dan Auerbach. A man most widely known for his work with blues rock band The Black Keys. It has been thrown around that much of this year's LP has been helmed by Mark Ronson. You may know him as the leading man behind the fourteen week chart topping “Uptown Funk”.

This album is bound to only expand on Lana Del Rey's sound and cement her growing fanbase. The first teasings of the album we have was when Lana released the audio to the titular track “Honeymoon”. It was moody and seductive. Her voice being the centerfold to it's lush surroundings and stylistically leaned closer to Ultraviolence then Born to Die.

The first proper single was “High By The Beach”. It's the kind of song that makes you want to smoke a joint and shoot a helicopter out of the sky. Languorous and epic it has me hooked. Only Lana could say “all I want to do is get high by the beach” and “truth is I never bought into your bullshit” and still come out of it as a classy sophisticated woman. But, she did.

The single also garnered a music video. It had a style of one continuous shot, similar to Birdman, or my YouTube videos. You think everything is fine. The beautiful Lana Del Rey is lounging in her Californian beach home. The wind is billowing her dress. She goes down to the beach to get her guitar case and then all of a sudden she pulls out a rocket launcher and kills the paparazzi. The girl really does need the Mary Jane.

Buy "High By The Beach"

Honeymoon should have a similar promotional campaign to that of Ultraviolence. That means more songs (!!!) will be released. One or two more music videos will be produced. The album will sell a few hundred thousand copies worldwide in it's first week on sale, then maintain a steady stay on the chart until the next follow up.

Right now the only three songs we have available are the aforementioned “Honeymoon” and “High By The Beach”. With preorder of the album you can receive the second official single “Terrence Loves You”. It's jazzy and not my favorite Lana Del Rey masterpiece. That's what I said about the second single on last year's Ultraviolence, “Shades of Cool” and now I croon to it.

In exciting news the album cover has been released. I like the rest of the Lana Del Rey fan base are not overwhelmed with love for it. I am hoping a deluxe edition cover will be revealed, although it's yet to be acknowledged if there will be more then one version of the album. The vinyl artwork for Honeymoon is much more in style of Lana Del Rey. You too can go to Urban Outfitters and spend $35 on a vinyl record.

The track list for the album has been unlocked. It features fourteen songs of love and heartbreak. Or something like that.

Some notes on the tracklist. Song number two was originally thrown around as the concept for the album. How about that for a fun fact. Track 9 has it correct. Lana is our religion. And, in true form of predecessors Paradise and Ultraviolence there is a cover song. “Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood” is an old jazz standard. Hopefully it will stand up just as well as “Blue Velvet” and “The Other Woman” did.

In other Lana Del Rey news will be featured on The Weeknd's new album Beauty Behind The Madness. Lana Del Rey doesn't do collaborations. This is bound to be fascinating. Ed Sheeran is also set to appear on the album. The duet with Lana Del Rey is entitled “Prisoner” and is sadly not part of the tracklist for Honeymoon as of right now.

The duet will be officially unveiled on Friday August 28th when the Weeknd's album drops. It's bound to be a massive seller. With two songs in the top ten (“Can't Feel My Face” and “The Hills”) and the 50 Shades of Grey single “Earned It” to back it up, who won't be buying Beauty Behind The Madness.

I won't be. But, if this Lana Del Rey collaboration pans out, I will be tempted. I'm a slut for Lana. This Friday Halsey also releases her debut album Badlands. That's certainly something to check out. The new Lana Del Rey album is set for release on Friday September 18th. And, in case anyone is counting that's 25 days away.
