Born to Die was a monumental album. it is still on the billboards! it has greatly influenced all the female pop artists who came after. Taylor, billie, Halsey and others have openly stated how pivotal this album was. It changed the trajectory of pop music. it is rated by RS, pitchfork and other publications as the best album of that decade

[@arnav-706]

And it's so interesting that lana doesn't make pop music herself but majority of pop music is influenced by her

[@krasnoz6]

I’m 64 and just started listening to her recently. She’s been my 23 year old daughter’s favorite music artist since she was 12 and I finally decided to give her a listen after she saw her at lollapalooza this summer. I’m obsessed! I have no idea how I missed all this. So much more than I ever imagined. Love this album (paradise edition even better), love Norman F-ing Rockwell, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and even songs from newer albums. Enjoyed your reaction and hope you do more!

[@inkweaver]

she instructed her producers to create the sound of this album. she instructed them to do hiphop beats under an orchestra to most of her songs in this album.

[@sparkleclover]

i've been a fan since 2011! she was actually an indie artist for around a decade before this album under her real name "lizzy grant" and played in bars around NYC and would make these homemade music videos she would edit herself, and she even released an album under that name but she was never really popular, i think her music was ahead of it's time tbh. she was blending genres and singing about toxic codependent relationships and stuff at a time when it wasn't popular and most female artists were singing about girl power and not needing a man, so there was a bad reaction to her music with critics calling it strange and anti-feminist, etc. this album was panned by critics, but it was super influential and she helped pave the way for other female artists (like billie, who says lana is one of her biggest inspirations) and a lot of those critics have admitted they were wrong about her. interesting fact is that the weeknd actually helped boost her popularity because he saw one of her homemade videos and liked it so much he helped promo it.

[@WesLinkz]

All that is super interesting. Never knew about her on any of this so I appreciate the info! She was definitely way ahead of her time the music has aged very well.

[@MarS-dc2qx]

Yup I remebler loving her in high school and people talking smack cause her music was depressing blah blah now everyone loves her 😂😂 how the tables have turned 😂😂

[@jspettifer]

Billie credits Lana as a massive influence on her. Off to the Races quotes the first line from Lolita (Light of my life, Fire of my loins). Nabakov is one of Alana’s favourite writers and she has his name as a tattoo next to Whitman - who is one of her other favourite writers and inspires a song on the Paradise EP

[@ChanRawrer]

This album is a longest charting female album, its still charting today! Its crazy!

[@LanaDelReySupremacy]

some background, Lana writes all her music (apart from covers obvs) video games dropped on youtube and myspace and blew up and a radio host found it in the uk and played it, and it became popular, this album was popular but also very criticised because there was nothing like this sound back then weirdly well it wasn’t mainstream

[@WesLinkz]

Listening to it today for the first time it sounds so modern which is so cool to see how it aged

[@ChanRawrer]

Correction, it blew up on Tumblr specifically, myspace was pretty much dead, Abel the Weeknd reposted Lana a lot of times on tumblr... i saw it all as it happened.

[@vibez1458]

you should listen to the born to die paradise edition and then ultraviolence and all her discography cause every album as its atmosphere and vibe and i know you’ll love ultraviolence !!

[@Ela-js7zv]

In Dark Paradise she sings about her ex that passed away and for summer time sadness she sings about her friend that passed away

[@niki4you]

Also btw this album is one of the longest running albums on the billboard 200 (one of only 20 to ever be on the chart that long), it celebrated 500 consecutive weeks back in sep and it’s still 48th on the chart currently as I type this

[@brandonpadilla5402]

Lana really is the blueprint for so many of the new school sad pop girls and they are very vocal about it. Lana is a huge fan and is very supportive of newer artists like Billie Eilish, Madison beer etc. it’s great to see such a positive relationship between old and new school artist in the same genre unlike feuds we have seen in the past like Madonna and Gaga or current feuds like Nicki and most of the rap girlies.

[@Carter2607]

Great reaction. This is really one of the most influential albums of 2010s. It is also still charting on Billboard top 200 (11 years after release and more than 500 weeks on chart). Cant wait for your reaction to her ather projects.

[@jspettifer]

To put this in perspective, there are only 18 albums with more weeks on the charts - albums like Thriller, Nevermind, Dark side of the moon, Rumors, Back in Black as well as greatest hits by Queen, the Beatles, Guns N Roses, Bob Marley, Eminem

The switch from this record to her 2nd full length album Ultraviolence is insane

[@meleh_m]

I’m subscribing right now, we need a Lana discography dive pls. Her albums gets better and she’s probably the best songwriter and has a very amazing tone and style. I think you will like her other stuff more as we progress.

[@haendellmagalhaes6112]

lara sure paved the way for A LOT of other singers. in fact, i for one think that she changed the whole music industry. "sad" songs, songs about being depressive and wanting to die, always existed. but lana made it become mainstream. there's music before and after lana, for sure. she received the "artist of the decade award" in Variety for a reason. you can see her influence in every corner of music industry. billie, olivia, halsey, even taylors folklore and evermore. queen of alt.

[@Mayathegoat]

highly recommend checking out the music videos for this album! national anthem, blue jeans, and summertime sadness are my faves but they're all so good. also the music video for ride is a must watch off her paradise ep after this album!

[@aaliyahmuriel8544]

Also the music video to the Born to die song♥️

[@arielmartinez5744]

You should react to Ultraviolence. IMO her best album ever.

[@turalhuseynov7830]

you really described it very well, she performs a different version of million dollar man live in the stage. its one of her best, you have to react to it

[@abcdeqwerty1047]

And this was 10 plus years ago shes just so ahead of the time her music ages so well

[@xtldc]

There is a version of this album with 3 additional bonus tracks that are worth checking out and definitely listen to the Paradise EP before moving on to her next full length album, Ultraviolence.

[@ivanncc.x]

I would love for u to explore her discography!! This album is one of not the most important pop album of the 2010’s. It was way ahead of it’s time, and though it (and she) was attacked relentlessly by the industry, it was a hit with the public who saw it for what it was, an album with drama, glamour, and ofc sarcastic winking humor sprinkled in! This completely went against the mainstream idea of “poptimism” and set the trend towards more moody pop. And of she influenced so many artists like taylor swift, billie, Lorde, troye sivan, halsey, etc etc This album has aged like fine wine to me tho it def is not her best album, which says a lot about her talent

[@jspettifer]

She got so many attacks for being inauthentic and many of the critics reviews were scathing of the album. Many publications have revisited the album admitting that they were wrong and that it was ahead of its time. She has among her fans Taylor Swift (who is one of her biggest promoters and has called her the most influential artist in pop), Billie Eilish (who said that Lana “birthed her”), Adele (who is a fan girl and obsessed with her), Bruce Springsteen (“Lana Del Rey is simply one of Americas greatest songwriters”), The Weeknd (“She is the girl in my music”)

[@nintendogs-_-]

would def watch if you did her discography in order (dont forget deluxe tracks) if you love music and love dissecting lyrics n all, you'll appreciate every bit of it, lana has the same vibe of writing but the sounds vary soooo much on her albums, she may hit you w some rock, jazz, folk, country, hip hop, trap, ballads and just everything in between !!! if you become a fan ppl may start recommending her unreleased older songs which theyre also worth it (leave it for the end tho !) lana is authentic as it gets, what she tells is what she went through or a glamourized/metaphor of her real life but its all genuine !! havent found an artist like her to this date and i listen to all genres !! hope you enjoy her as much as i and her fans do !!! will be looking for the next lana reactions !! keep up ❤

[@Bjr11243]

None of the girls today would exist without lana del rey

[@andyyy1r]

'Off To The Races' was the 2nd song Billie Eilish added to her Teen Vogue's video 'soundtrack of my life'. And yeah, it's definitely a bop and probably my favorite from Born to Die -- along with Blue Jeans.

[@teehee3521]

Here is in what order you should react to her next albums: Paradise (Released in 2012 and has 9 songs but since u forgot to listen to the three BTD bonus tracks you should def react to them aswell in your next reaction vid) Ultraviolence (Released in 2014 and has 11 songs + 3 bonus track songs + 2 Itunes exclusive tracks) Honeymoon (Released in 2015 and has 14 songs) Lust For Life (Released in 2017 and has 16 songs) Norman Fucking Rockwell! (Released in 2019 and has 14 songs) Chemtrails Over The Country Club (Released in 2021 and has 11 songs) Blue Banisters (Released in 2021 and has 15 songs) Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (Released in 2023 and has 16 songs) Her most popular albums amongst fans are def Ultraviolence, Norman Fucking Rockwell! and Born To Die.

[@haendellmagalhaes6112]

she was sooooo criticized for this album back in the day its unreal lol it was different from everything. so she had to keep proving that she was authentic and talented album after album. the funny thing is that the next album, "ultraviolence", is basically her saying "fuck yall!" and taking everything they criticized and multiplying it for 1000x. it was even more polemic and sadder but also ironic and satirical, in response to the critics.

[@excelynite]

You are so handsome, even more so with Lana in the background.😜 And don't feel bad about the last two songs, Lana fans want to see people react to the songs that no one, but the fans, listen to, not the singles, we know those are hidden jewels that don't get the recognition they deserve.

[@Miss_Brady]

I remember being in 9th grade seeing born to die music video get released 🥺🫶🏻 the power that album has is crazy

[@niki4you]

Ok I’m an absolute fan of you already 10 minutes in, it could just be I’m a sucker for the accent 👀 haha. This is my favourite Lana album, I love her other stuff too but this album is just on another level for me

[@iKate36]

I really enjoyed your reaction 💗 I hope you'll go further with her discography, because there's so much to discoer!

[@silentfreak8933]

22:47 so cute ! 😭🥰

[@cradleoffilth092]

btw, each album of hers is a part of a journey. You can see her from being a sort of character (Born To Die) to express her pain in the most lyrical way (Ultraviolence), Honeymoon is like a low-key psychedelic trip to the desert, in Lust for Life she is happier and unapologetic, and NFR! reflects on her life in a very bittersweet way. In Chemtrails Over The Country Club there's a sense of rebirth, it's folk, country, and a bit religious. Blue Banisters is A FUCKING MASTERPIECE and she said that it's not an album she put out for her fans, but it's like a diary we could read if we want to know something more about her. Finally, Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is mostly about family, death, grief and hope and is really psychanalitic. And, apart from those 8 albums there's another two albums prior her official born to die debut and hundreds of other unreleased songs you can find online.

[@sparkleclover]

also i think your diet mountain dew analysis is actually dead on lol. lana is really good at taking simple moments in life and romanticizing them, i think it's extremely likely she wrote that song just based on a memory of getting a diet mountain dew at 7-11 with her boyfriend at the time and driving around nyc in his white pontiac, feeling in love.

[@xtldc]

I’ve always assumed Diet Mt Dew was a metaphor for the man in the song - something that she knows isn’t good for her, but she wants it anyway.

[@sparkleclover]

@@xtldc it's probably both. memories of drinking diet mtn dew while with him, but it also works as a metaphor for something that, like you said, she knows isn't good for her but she wants it anyways.

[@annah8496]

Some time after Lana’s notorious SNL performance, I searched her on KZbin and came across Radio. I instantly fell in love and have been obsessed ever since.

[@carlemilduelund9483]

Lana Del Rey started with singing in bars in NYC for a few years as the name lizzy grant and also released a debut album called lizzy grant aka lana del ray but didnt catch a lot of attention but she got a contract in 2011 and then released Born To Die album (she wrote it her self which she did with the rest of her albums) which literally changed pop culture. i love her so much and she is inspired by amy winehouse and elvis and lana del rey has inspired so many like billie eilish, taylor swift, olivia rodorigo and much more. she is the mother of pop imo

[@aaliyahmuriel8544]

Thanks for your reaction! I thought it was great!! And, liked how you gave your feedback to the songs! If you want, I recommend watching the music videos for this album starting with the music video for Born to die:) Hope everyone has a great day/night:)

[@miroirsiii]

love this! if you want to react to more lana del rey, i recommend listening to her *actual* debut album (titled Lana Del Ray, AKA Lizzy Grant) since you mentioned her backstory in the video. It's completely different from born to die and has that indie feel but you can see how all her ideas and concepts eventually shaped into the LDR persona she has today xx

Diet Mountain Dew is about addiction (she was sent to a boarding school at the age of 14 because she developed alcohol addiction). I don’t want to sound pretentious but it has even a deeper dark meaning behind the “Diet Mountain Dew” metaphor but I think is best not to breakdown that one here. She’s def one of a kind, the way she writes I mean…nobody does that, nobody. She’s the master fr

[@Rraow778]

Lana is probably my favorite artist ever, I discovered her when I was 15 and she’s been my favorite since (I’m 23). You’ve got to listen to born to die the paradise edition with her special edition tracks, so + paradise ep + burning desire + BTD special tracks like without you, lucky ones, etc. it’s a great breakout album and although many people prefer BTD, you can see her evolving musically and personally while also experimenting with different styles and it’s spectacular. I go through varying “phases” where I prefer one album over her others. In the fandom, BTD, ultraviolence, and Norman are the favorites, but my personal favorite since the 2020s have been blue banisters, ultraviolence and now ocean. BTD is actually not her first album… but her first album “Lizzie Grant aka LDR” is very hard to find physically and on streaming services, except for KZbin. Although I’d love for her to go back to her UV and Norman style of music, her progression and evolution as an artist is spectacular, inspirational, and I truly admire how she is being true to herself through her music. She has barely been “trending” and going mainstream again since her BTD era, but she WILL be the artist that may be one of the most remembered from this generation… she has been inspired by many classic rock, hip hop, and blues artists and she has influenced or inspired countless female artists including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Melanie Martinez, Olivia Rodrigo, likely Marina, Madison Beer, Lorde, Halsey and basically the entire new generation of pop stars… she practically also created a subgenre called whisper pop. She’s a legend

'Diet mountain dew' is a reflection of how this boy is artificially sweet to her and 'no good for her' despite seeming like the better alternative. Lana has a lot of misleading soda songs, like Cola and A&W

Lana had a really difficult life, dark paradise is about one of her boyfriends who passed away from overdose, summertime sadness about her best friend who committed suicid3. She suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction and Carmen is about her alcoholism. She doesn’t have a good relationship with her mom since her mom sent her away when she was 16, when she started drinking. Her songs have a really deep meaning. She also tried to commit suicid3, by drowning herself in a bathtub, because her uncle who she had a great relationship with hang himself on a bridge. Rumors says that she had a spontaneous abortion. But after all she went through she sees the beauty in the darkness. she talks about all of this in every single one of her albums. You should listen to all of them by order, and see her journey.
