On February 25, Lana Del Rey went to The Peppermint nightclub in Los Angeles where her sister Chuck hosted a karaoke party. Lana was joined by some fans to perform ‘Cherry‘ from Lana’s latest album, ‘Lust For Life’.

Some of the fans were identified as George, Joanna and Nadia. Of the night, George said “I was drunk and was mind blown when I saw her like 5 feet away from me. We got to talk a bit.” It’s unclear what happened, but a few people have stated some fans got a bit “messy”, and George even took to Twitter afterwards to apologise to Lana. However, Lana was cool about it, responding with: “It’s coool. We’re messy. We know it. Don’t worry bout it xo”

After her Philadelphia show on January 21, Lana Del Rey was interviewed by Talia Schlanger for World Cafe. In the interview Lana talks about living in the H of the Hollywood sign, the deeper meaning behind some of her lyrics, and her friendships with Courtney Love and Stevie Nicks.

Talia even asks Lana about the controversial line “he fit me and it felt like a kiss” in ‘Ultraviolence‘. Lana says, “I guess I would say I didn’t have a great reference for what a really nurturing relationship would look like.”

To read to the full interview, head over to National Public Radio – or check out the audio embedded below, which includes more than the write up! Here is a snippet from the interview:

Talia Schlanger: When you announced the new record, you released this video that is beautiful and very clever. Can you describe what we see in this video, where you are?
Lana Del Rey: I had been thinking about this idea of broadcasting from the middle of the “H” in the Hollywood sign in California. So I asked my director … to help me set up this whole space to look like the H. In it, I was sort of looking at all of the mayhem in the city below and beyond — but I also wanted it to have sort of a B movie twist on it with the narrative.

I want to talk about Stevie Nicks, who sings on “Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems.” There’s such a great interplay between your two voices: You open the song and when she comes in, you can really hear the saltiness in her voice in a different way. I know you’re really involved in mastering and and mixing your music, and so you have your hands on her raw vocals. What’s that like?
Funny enough, I had wanted her to open the song — ’cause, you know, she’s Stevie. But she didn’t want to. She wanted to take the second verse and step into it. So, yeah, she was full of surprises. She gave me a little golden diamond H, cause she always joked about how when I got older, I would live in the H and she would live in the W of the Hollywood sign — turn it into a little A-frame house. I was like, “Really? Let’s do it.”

When you first met her in the studio, what was going through your mind?
I remember so many different things about that session. She wanted me to go in and do something at the end, like a little tag. I got on the microphone and I had, like, red-light fever because she was watching me. I said, “That was bad, my voice was breaking.” And she’s like, “I like that it was breaking. I’m gonna try and do it like you now.”

Lana Del Rey performed at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California on February 15. As usual, Kali Uchis opened the show, but Lana mixed things up a little by playing “West Coast” for the first time on this tour. Lana also sung a snippet of “Get Free” and brought back “Serial Killer”.

Whilst Lana was meeting her fans at the barrier, she gave some of her famous gold heart necklaces away to a few lucky fans. Watch the video here!

During “Get Free”, Lana got emotional listening to her fans sing the song back to her.

Lana recently talked about what this song means to her in an interview for World Cafe. She explained the “I’m doing it all for us” lyric is for Amy [Winehouse] and Whitney [Houston]; two of the names she has tattooed on her collar bone. She added “it’s about people who don’t get to reach their full potential because they let controlling people stop them from being free.”

Lana’s sister Chuck was also in attendance at the show. Be sure to check out Chuck’s Instagram story for footage from the concert!

Lana Del Rey is on the cover of California Style magazine for their March issue. She spoke to Lesley McKenzie about living in LA and finding friends and inspiration there, as well as how she’s over her obsession with old cars such as the 1950s pickup. Lana also talks about being in a happy place, following her dreams and how she warms up for her shows with rehearsals and meditation.

The interview is accompanied by a gorgeous photoshoot photographed by Victor Demarchelier and styled by Alison Edmond. Below you can find some snippets from the interview!

California has been a source of inspiration for Del Rey in the last few years, often from behind the wheel of her truck (“It’s brand-new, it’s not a nostalgic, 1950s pickup,” she quips. “I’m over my old-car obsession—I’m happy with Bluetooth”), driving along the Pacific Coast Highway. The tony San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, which was devastated in the winter mudslides, was always a favorite destination for Del Rey to recharge.

“I’d say the last two years have been relatively peaceful,” says Del Rey of her current frame of mind, which has since seeped into her work. “I think that’s kind of why my newer record has a little bit of a brighter tone to it, whereas before I was definitely working a lot and on the road 24/7,” she says. “I’m still traveling a lot but I had a lot more to work through a couple years ago, I guess.”

That shift in perspective shines through on ballads such as “Change,” the last song Del Rey wrote for the album, which addresses the fact that she was seeking change in her life but didn’t know how to go about it. “It was just more like a small bubbling of wanting to turn things around aesthetically in my art and personally as well. I really like the idea that life imitates art and I’ve noticed that in my own work. I knew that good things could follow if I put it out there that I was still trying to grow.”

On February 13, Lana Del Rey performed at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, with Kali Uchis as her opening act. Lana sang snippets of ‘Terrence Loves You’ and ‘Get Free’ towards the end of the show. Someone asked if she’d sing ‘Angels Forever, Forever Angels’ and Lana responded with “Angels Forever? Are you kidding?!”

Chris shared that the pit at the front was so bad that Lana’s personal security had to stop people from shoving. Lana mouthed to them “I’m so sorry.”

Of the pit, Chase Connolly tells us “multiple people passed out” and the shoving was so continuous that it made him “practically miss the first two songs”. However, he adds that it calmed down after that.

Chase also explains that Lana sang ‘White Mustang’ whilst laying on the piano with her legs up. “After ‘White Mustang’ she sang an a cappella snippet of the song and said “sorry, I’m feeling myself tonight””.

Before she sung ‘Yayo’, Lana explained some background to the song: “This is a song I really like to do about an old friend of mine who isn’t with us anymore. His name was Rob and we used to live, uh, well I lived in New Jersey, he lived in a different part of New Jersey. I remember one day he came back with the most giant snake on his back and I was like, “what the hell did you do??” It’s funny, like, within 10 minutes – I couldn’t really play chords, so I sort of made up my own chords, and I wrote a little song for him.”

Ed Masley wrote a smashing review of Lana’s performance for AZ Central, explaining that her Lana Del Rey persona was in “full effect” as she was “channeling Brigitte Bardot” in her fishnet stockings.

Masley also took note of how considerate Lana is of her fans: “Del Rey did something I have never seen at an arena. She spent the next eight to 10 minutes signing autographs, posing for selfies and accepting flowers, notes and presents from the fans down front, who camped out overnight to score those spots.”
