I just finished filming my Born to Die Reaction by Lana Del Rey! You can expect it as early as 10/13 or as late as 10/16. I really do appreciated the constructive criticism and I want to take my time to edit this while catering to what everyone has been asking for which is no drastic cuts and a longer video. I still have to do cater to KZbin's copyright rules, but I also want to cater to the supporters of this video and give you this best video I can put out!

[@JayCluess]

Should I do more Lana Del Rey reactions?

[@siennastrickland2722]

Yess! She is an experimental deep artist, you won’t be disappointed. I vote Ultraviolence next 🫶🏽

[@siennastrickland2722]

Ultraviolence next 🫶🏽

[@abcdeqwerty1047]

You have to go in order from BORN TO DIE, you'll appreciate her journey in her stories as a person and years go and she grows too. But react to the corresponding music videos from this album first

[@JayCluess]

After this reaction, I think I should go in order to see how her artistry has matured overtime. Depending on how much new music continues to come out I should have a new album reaction from Lana every 1-2 weeks

[@albertoserna2180]

@@JayCluessthats the correct way to understand her music from the beginning as Lana del Rey her real name is Elizabeth grant

[@oswaldocastellanos1860]

Ultraviolence is probably one of her best albums of her whole discography!! You need to give it a listen! 🔥

[@JayCluess]

@@oswaldocastellanos1860 I’m excited to get to it!

[@gabrielbecker1911]

no, uv is her second worst, but nice try!

Honeymoon will always be my favorite Lana album! I mean all of her albums are really special and unique from eachother

[@lmprettywhenicry]

I agree! Honeymoon is just transcendant

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

It is one of the greatest albums ever made

[@luketaylor2417]

Should go in chronological order 🙌🏼

[@antonhylewis80]

You should do next Born to Die ,the classic of classic , then do it by order . You'll fall in love with Lana ,her music is very speacial with so much truth it just speaks to people in a certain way .

[@shadesofcool6510]

'Am I happy, am I sad?' is the perfect description of Lana's music

[@inycollas]

“Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean blvd?” is a great one too

[@antonhylewis80]

YESSS !! LANA IS THE LYRICIST .SHE'S A POET AND PHILOSOPHER . SHE IS CONSIDERED BY THE ROLLING STINES MAGAZINE THE GREATEST AMERICAN SONGWRITER OF THE CENTURY AND BY ANOTHER MAGAZINE THE GREATEST FEMALE LYRICIST .

[@siennastrickland2722]

Great reaction! Her music does tend to put me in a reflective/contemplative mood too. It makes you feel a lot of things, esp comforted lol❤

[@JayCluess]

@@siennastrickland2722 thank you, that means a lot :)

[@fernandobatresarias]

Lana’s NFR was named the best Album of 2019 by many huge critics and articles and it loss its Grammys nomination then in 2023 with her album ocean blvd her song A&W( American Whore) many critics and articles said that it was the best song of the year and it was nominated for two Grammys and it lost and actually pitchfork made a list of the best songs of the decade 2020s and they placed A&W as the best song of the decade showing that even tho her music Isn’t the biggest of the year taking number one spots it’s still the best at leaving an impact in the music industry and being recognized for being the best out of many huge and bigger artist who had a more successful year than Lana. Lana to me will never be forgotten cause she makes music that years later it will be talked about like her album born to die is a new classic the lyrics, music production still hold up even tho it releasing in 2011/2012.

[@evan.iraheta]

She's a very good lyricist

[@timothrykrasnapolsky]

#3 Honeymoon #2 Norman FKN Rockwell! #1 Ultraviolence Love your reaction btw!

[@Elk913]

Also subbed for more Lana- so excited to hear you are going to do a deep dive on her!!! Cannot wait to hear the BTD reaction. Each of her albums has a distinct vibe/mood/story….all very different from each other yet ALL sound like her and with each one is like discovering another facet to her. And she is not afraid to experiment and cross/blend genres - she really excels at this!

[@alexandervega5299]

MORE LANA DEL REY

[@dennys8798]

Hey, Jay! Thank you for giving Lanita a chance! Those timestamps were really helpful tho, thx as well! Hope to see more Lana content on your channel :)

[@Hirakhokhar01]

This album is a masterpiece ❤ My favorite album of Lana Del Rey after Ultraviolence .. Her pen is crazy and she is spectacular song writer ... I love her so much 💖

[@albertoserna2180]

She’s the blue print of modern pop she influences so many artist Billy Eilish, Taylor swift Melany Martinez

[@JayCluess]

Wowwww ok ok, I for sure got to get these reactions done

[@albertoserna2180]

Clearly you love good music and yes shes a great artist she takes you to her world and is amazing keep in mind that her lyrics are pure poetry

[@fabiocardullo2906]

Here to say California is the best song on the album. I write this under most of reactors’ videos, because more people need to get how beautiful this song is.

Loved this reaction, please do more albums by her. Pls don't do drastic cuts if there's anything about Lana fans they'll take even 2 hours of you listening to her albums (not saying do that but longer videos would be appreciated).

[@Oni_1]

If you do the rest of her albums, I recommend going in order. She's progressed a lot as an artist, and don't forget her Paradise album after Born To die😁 Edit: wait you like piano? Oh you're gonna love Blue Banisters. That's her most comforting album I think

[@dylancook8863]

Lana Supremacy !!!! Please go back to the beginning ! Start with Born to Die, then the Paradise EP, then after paradise, you need to react to Tropico ! THEN jump into Ultraviolence !! Excellent reaction, my guy ! 👍😊👍 NfR is easily a top 3 album for me. Honeymoon and Ultraviolence are up there too !! I'm really looking forward to your Lana journey !! 😊

[@JayCluess]

@@dylancook8863 everyone keeps talking about Ultraviolence, I’m super excited for that one

[@dylancook8863]

@JayCluess all the things that the critics said were this or that, she leaned into even farther for Ultraviolence. She beautifully captures what it's like to be in a toxic relationship with somebody you love with your entire being. She also continuously includes her undying love for her first true love, someone who has passed away, which lead to songs like Dark Paradise (on BTD), and The Blackest Day (on Honeymoon). It's Lana's music and Lana's music alone which has healed me from my own life experiences of having lost my first true love as well back in 2011 to murder, classified as suicide, when it was pretty clearly not suicide. So it's been a difficult journey I've been on, and Lana's artistry has gotten me through it. Forever grateful, and forever indebted to her, and I'm a total stranger to her. Insane how life tends to be. Keep on keepin on, my guy ! 👍

[@JayCluess]

@@dylancook8863 wow… thanks for sharing that, I’m glad my reaction mean enough for you comment and share! Been a tough 2024 for me but the love I’m getting in the comments and the experiences you all care to share have really meant a lot to me. Thank you

[@arad.anavi.96]

The music video of all the album 'ultraviolence' is mesmerizing! masterpiece❤❤❤

[@inycollas]

nice reaction

[@RicardoHernandez-m4g]

The Weeknd helped her get her start 12 years ago, she's one of the best writers ever

[@Goldun-nah]

That feeling when the song climaxes and the glass shatters 19:14 is exactly how I looked and felt the first time I heard it. Love that song so much… also Love that you love Lana. ☺️☺️☺️

[@thee.angelgabriel]

i understand what you mean on the track happiness is a butterfly, where she doesn’t sing the word you as she did with avenue. i look at the way she sang it though as her giving up in a way. she was hitting hard with the flow making sure she was heard by the person she was singing the song to with “ooo” and “avenue” and then losing the feeling to fight for what she wants by the time she finally tells him what she wants; which is to “dance with you”… so overall it was a calculated artistic move on lana’s part not sing the word in that particular way. as we hear her continue to sing the phrase. “i just want to dance with you” she starts, saying it more softly till finally when she’s at the last phrase she barely even whispers the word ‘you.’

[@JayCluess]

Wow… if that is what she meant to do then wow….

[@ikkenrique]

welcome 🥤

[@albertoserna2180]

Start with born to die you will be amazed and start you journey falling in love with Lana

[@Lanawhereareyou]

Please react to honeymoon or ultraviolence!! And make the reaction longer 😭 I’ve seen people do this. I can’t with the cuts but still a great reaction video !!

[@JayCluess]

Thank you :) I will do my best! Unfortunately, I do have to cut some parts out due to KZbin Copyright rules but I tryna to keep it at a minimum. It takes wayyyyy longer for me to edit and cut it out :(

[@beckiewhittle7703]

The church basement is a deep cut reference to where AA meetings are typically held

[@silentfreak8933]

more lana!!!

[@urdad726]

ayy im excited for ultraviolence and born to die

[@coryb7404]

Lana is that girl!! More Lana please :)

[@PopFenty]

React to Ultraviolence and Born To Die by Lana

[@TanyaPhilipose]

subbed for more lana!!! pls do born to die nexttt,it will also put u in summer!! hip hop inspired, it was a cultural reset and such a solid album. Still on the top 200's over a decade later, making it one of three debut female albums to last that longg. lyrics r v important in her music i recommend reading them while listening, shes a real poet, there r a lot of underlying meanings w her lyrics. doin' time was a sublime cover of their song summertime, she does a lot of covers and always does them justice. She is religious and goes to church and everything she references it a lot in her discography.

[@liamscanlan4655]

yessss

[@Hirakhokhar01]

More Lana Del Rey

[@JayCluess]

Coming soon :)

[@ludwinalexander9264]

Great reaction. I can tell you really connected to the album. It will be awesome if later on you give a chance to Ethel Cain’s album Preacher’s daughter. You won’t be disappointed

[@Tony-mv5sj]

You would probably lovve Lust for Life and Born to Die

[@liamscanlan4655]

react to every album and i would prefer if you could stop the song more if that means you can show you reacting to more of the song!

[@lucasdavid2848]

More Lana ❤
