Review

Lana Del Rey's "Blue Banisters," her eighth studio triumph released in October 2021, feels like a deeply personal exploration marked by a refined shift from her previous work, "Chemtrails over the Country Club." The album merges folk, pop, jazz, and Americana into an atmospheric, laid-back soundscape that perfectly frames Del Rey's emotive vocals and poignant songwriting. This minimalist production style allows her voice to shine luminously, enveloping listeners in the emotional depth of each track.

Del Rey's lyrical focus here is a raw, introspective dive into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Gone are the character studies and archetypes; instead, we are presented with a vulnerable and authentic glimpse into Del Rey's own experiences. Standout tracks like "Blue Banisters," "Arcadia," and "Text Book" demonstrate her skill in crafting haunting melodies paired with universally relatable lyrics. With critical acclaim and chart-topping success in several countries, "Blue Banisters" is a testament to Lana Del Rey's artistic growth and her unique ability to resonate personally and universally through music. - Vivian
