comment |
Norman Fucking Rockwell! is the sixth studio album by singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey.While it was released through both Interscope Records and Polydor Records on 30 August 2019, the two lead singles "Mariners Apartment Complex" and "Venice Bitch" had previewed almost eleven months earlier on the 12 and 18 September 2018, respectively. Three additional singles were released: "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it", the Sublime cover "Doin' Time" and "The Greatest".Often abbreviated to NFR!, the album marks the first of many collaborations with Jack Antonoff (of both fun. and Bleachers fame) as record producer. The album is considered an example of soft rock, with strong influences from psychedelic, folk and surf rock. The "Hollywood sadcore" popularised by her earlier work has largely disappeared, with the only legacy styles being the Trip Hop-style beats that appear in songs such as "The Next Best American Record" and "How to Disappear".Tracklist: "Norman Fucking Rockwell" (4:08) "Mariners Apartment Complex" (4:06) "Venice Bitch" (9:38) "Fuck It I Love You" (3:38) "Doin' Time" (3:22) "Love Song" (3:51) "Cinnamon Girl" (5:00) "How to Disappear" (3:48) "California" (5:05) "The Next Best American Record" (5:49) "The Greatest" (5:00) "Bartender" (4:23) "Happiness Is a Butterfly" (4:32) "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it" (5:24) |

comment |
Darker and Edgier: While nowhere near as dark as Born to Die or Ultraviolence, the overriding theme of Lana critiquing modern American culture and her status as both a woman and a pop star contrasts with the happier, more hopeful tone of 2017's Lust for Life and, to a lesser extent, the more family-oriented folk rock of 2021's Chemtrails over the Country Club. |

Censored Title: Norman Fucking Rockwell isn't censored on iTunes or Spotify, but in online press, the media, and on the album cover, the title is censored to "Norman F*** Rockwell". In interviews, it's either called "Norman Effing Rockwell", or shortened to "Norman Rockwell" or even "NFR!" |

Evolving Music: "The Next Best American Record" was originally written for Lust for Life as "Best American Record" but wasn't included due to being slower and mellower compared to the rest of the album. Lana loved the song, however, and rewrote the pre-choruses, choruses and outro in order to make it fit in on NFR!. |
