“The main thing is that I like my work”: Billie Eilish interviewed Lana Del Rey

And

Lana Del Rey was interviewed by the equally popular singer Billy Eilish, who has repeatedly publicly confessed her love for her work and even called her childhood idol. However, Lana, who is 16 years older than Billy and has more stage experience, is delighted with her young colleague. Moreover, she herself insisted that 21-year-old Eilish ask her questions.

In a dialogue with Billy, Lana spoke more about the upcoming studio album “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”, which will be released on March 24th. According to the singer, at first she planned to appear naked for the cover of the record, but then she changed her mind. As a result, the performer took 65 title photos at once, symbolizing different states of mind. The photos were taken by photographer Neil Krug.

Maybe not the time, because there’s something else I want to do where I think it might get in the way. I wanted to take my time and think about what I want to express on my face.

It is noteworthy that Lana co-wrote the title song under the same name with her boyfriend Mike Hermosa.

I spent a lot of time in Long Beach and learned that there was a tunnel under the Jergins Trust building. All the mosaic ceilings there are perfectly preserved, but no one could get inside. I immediately knew that this would be the title of the album.

Lana also admitted to a colleague that the path to fame was not easy for her. Early in her career, she was regularly reviled by music critics. And the feminist community still condemns the singer for “glamorizing” abusive relationships and domestic violence in her work. However, what Lana really cares about is how she evaluates her music herself.

I’ve never liked doing anything in response to something based on fear or what people think of me. The main thing is that I and people from my circle like my work, because for me it means separating the wheat from the chaff. Hang out with good people and let them be your guiding light.

A month ago, Lana Del Rey shared the tracklist of the upcoming album, which will be the ninth in her discography, and accompanied it with promo shots showing topless. Perhaps it was these provocative shots that she was going to use as a cover, which we, alas, will not see.
