Can’t wait for the final studio version. I think it’ll have her most impressive vocals ever. Look at how she ate those G5s!

Whew, her head voice is so gentle and ethereal here! 😍 "Money Power Glory" and "Norman Fucking Rockwell" are shaking. I think she also belted her first D5 since 2017/18 in this cover.

[Gilad]

How is the color of the notes decided here? Because I would call some of those black bolds falsetto, unless you're thinking they're soft head-voice or something

[Baronessa]

For Lana it's pretty difficult to tell lower falsetto apart from her head voice, so I just decided to colour only what seemed like the most obvious of falsetto to my ears.

[ama]

Aren’t there E5s in the backing vocals of Mariners? On "die hard"

And also, I’m sure that the note at 2:44 in NFR is a C♯5, and I think that might be the one you thought was a D5

Edit: I think the tweet that I had linked might have been deleted so it doesn’t appear anymore, sorry :( It was a studio acapella of MAC

[Baronessa]

I'll notewatch it later, but I'm just saying right now Lana is easily in her most confident and best voice on the new album.

[Baronessa]

Chemtrails Over the Country Club is on the OP now.

I hear only B4 there, but maybe we need more opinions on that one.

There's actually a D5 here in "Norman Fucking Rockwell". The 2:44 note is an overshoot from C5 lol.

[ama]

Thanks for the clarification! Since the note at 2:44 is the result of a change in the chords, I thought you’d have notewatched it and I didn’t think about the D5 at the end of the song.
And thanks for being so fast with notewatching her new album! :D I agree with you, she’s definitely at her best vocally. The way she intentionally makes her voice super breathy in White Dress and the high vocals in Not All Who Wander and Yosemite are highlights! She’s really found her voice.

Oh, and while you’re at it, you could also notewatch her brilliant cover of You’ll Never Walk Alone!

Question: have you checked out her Pre-Lana Del Rey music or some of the leaked songs? if not, it maybe good complete her discography

[Baronessa]

I haven't. That's why this is still in Work-in-Progress.

Good luck with that, girl has like 100+ unreleased songs. And a lot of them are pitch shifted/slowed down/speed up to avoid copyright, so you will have to search in a lot of sites.

Welp, that gives me anxiety thinking of it.

[onlysee]

Maybe I'm late to this thread but she also has a solid C3 in Stargirl Interlude: youtu.be/U2TPS-9oMtc?t=30

[Baronessa]

That sounds like just an onset for the D3 - F3 scoop that's the main melodic focus there.

[onlysee]

And so I found harmonized C#3-B2 vocal runs in Cinnamon Girl: youtu.be/DCYmJDO2_IE?t=70

[Gilad]

That's not a voice, my friend

It's like linked... But if you ask: 1:10, on 1:25-1:27 it's easier to hear.
Anyway, now I can clearly hear that these "runs" are from instrumental sound, not Lana's voice

[onlysee]

So, I'm here again with some notes from her latest release, Blue Banisters, that I find outstanding
Well, here is something like belted A4 from "Text Book", B♭4's from "Blue Banisters", "Arcadia" and "Beautiful". D5 and E♭5 in chorus of "Dealer".

And some low notes, like D3 in "If You Lie Down With Me", G3 from "Violets for Roses" and short C3 from "Cherry Blossom" (probably the lowest on album, but I don't know clearly, I still haven't notewatched it fully)

Hope I was not annoying; I'll probably be back here everytime I find new interesting notes

Edit: I also think it would be good to include B4 and C♯5 from her performance of Summertime (the Gershwin Version).

Edit x2: I kinda live in this thread rent free, but Lana's performance of Summer Wine is worth attention: E3 - B4 - F♯5 - B5? (not sure this last one exists, it could be lower)

[Baronessa]

You're fine lol. I should get onto notewatching that album, too.

[onlysee]

Hi again, I have some new updates suggestions :)

So, some good B4's here
F3, A4 and E5 in "Watercolor Eyes"
E♭3, G3, A4, E♭5 and F5 in her performance of "Buddy's Rendezvous"
Also I feel like this C5 should be added with bold; kinda flat but still a great one

[galaxyseal]

E3, F♯3, A4 and C♯5 in "Snow on the Beach" with Taylor Swift!

[Baronessa]

Hi honey honey hi. Blue Banisters is on the thread now, as are "Hallucinogenics", "Watercolor Eyes", "Buddy's Rendezvous" (I really like this one) and "Snow on the Beach".

Edit: Oops, I forgot there was also "Riverside" and "Secret Life". Lana's in her feature era I guess.

[rtim]

new music

I think double accounting results in a three month ban, how about that.

I learned that the hard way, lol.

Also, great thread Baronessa! Lana Del Rey is one of my personal favourite singers. That bold C#6 is otherworldly.

[Baronessa]

Alrighty, since there's a new album coming out this year, here's a little carrot for youse. If we find a new, good thread picture I'll notewatch the unreleased tracks and live cuts once the new album comes out.

I'll be notewatching the new album regardless of anything though.
