Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd is the ninth studio album from acclaimed singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, comprising 16 tracks and interludes with features including Father John Misty, Tommy Genesis, Jon Batiste, Bleachers and more. It follows the prolific artist's 2021 albums Chemtrails Over The Country Club and Blue Banisters. Review: I play this album a lot - I really like her music, and I find myself playing this album rather often. I guess I like listening to it. Review: Ambitious and Vulnerable- Her Most Personal Album Yet - “The Grants” begins with a short, lovely acapella introduction before the addition of instrumentation and a change in the melody turns into the main theme. It’s a gorgeous, touching, melancholy in spirit but musically uplifting song about remembering relatives here and gone. The title song which follows is an extension thematically of “The Grants” and is simply wonderful. The next song I am really impressed with is “A & W”, one of my favorite Lana songs of all time. It delves into the underbelly of Americana by painting a dark picture of prostitution as it now stands. What I love about it is the schizophrenic juxtaposition between the first and second parts of the song- absolutely brilliant! Though she works with a few producers on this album I could sense this was the first cowritten with my favorite, Jack Antonoff. The first of two interludes follows- “Judah Smith Interlude”, an apparent ‘musique concrete’ featuring a preacher and what seem to be giggling women- strange but it works in the context of the album. Another beautiful song is the keyboard based “Candy Necklaces” featuring Jon Batiste adding subtle vocals. Following is the last of the interludes which also features Batiste and sounds like the band, he and Lana jamming a bit, off the cuff and is also well placed on the album. “Kintsugi” is a pretty ballad, piano driven. Lyrically it’s about how a broken heart can let light in if you let it. I love Lana’s singing throughout- sometimes almost a whisper, sometimes a croon. She’s quite delicate on this track. My next favorite track is “Paris, Texas” with one of the most enchanting vocal melodies in her repertoire. The following “Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders of My Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing” is an interesting song but for me one of the few weak tracks as is “Let The Light In”- a MOR light tune I can imagine will be used in commercials one day. In the old days of vinyl at 16 tracks and about 70 minutes long this would have been a double album so I can live with it. The last three songs are some of my all-time favorites- the sultry, luxurious, dreamy “Fishtail”, the funky “Peppers” and “Taco Truck x VB”. When I saw VB I thought it couldn’t be “Venice B**ch” from “NFR” but to my delight it was that fantastic loop that the first part segues into and closes this deeply personal musical journey.

Lana Del Rey is Amazing!
Not her top three, but still good... It's Lana. Some awesome tracks. The song she does with Jack Antonoff is a beautiful story. Google it. The song will make more sense.

An Introspective Sonic Experience, Slightly Overindulgent at Times
From an audiophile and lyrical critique standpoint, this album succeeds in creating a lush, immersive atmosphere, punctuated by moments of raw vulnerability. The production values are high, with an emphasis on vocal prominence and minimalist, yet elegant instrumentation that enhances the storytelling. However, while the album is conceptually cohesive, some tracks tend to linger longer than necessary, diluting the emotional impact of the stronger pieces. This makes it feel slightly overindulgent for listeners seeking a tighter narrative or more dynamic pacing. Despite these minor critiques, it remains a powerful addition to the artist’s catalog, best enjoyed in a solitary setting where the subtleties can truly sink in.

Maravilla. Elizabeth Woolridge Grant es una cantante y compositora, estadounidense. Su música se destaca por su estilizada calidad cinematográfica, su estilo retro y la exploración del romance trágico. Rolling Stone UK la nombró La mejor compositora estadounidense del siglo XXI. El 30 de agosto de 2019, Del Rey lanzó su álbum Norman Fucking Rockwell!, el cual recibió una gran aclamación de la crítica y dos nominaciones a los Premios Grammy, incluida la canción y el álbum del año. Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd fue lanzado el 24 de marzo de 2023. La Recording Academy nominó a Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd en la categoría principal de Álbum del año y en la categoría de Mejor álbum de música alternativa para la 66.a edición de los Premios Grammy. La mayoría de los críticos destacaron la canción A&W como el momento más memorable del álbum. Ocean Blvd nos muestra una Lana introspectiva que, a sus 37 años, reflexiona sobre su linaje familiar, la fama, la cultura y la vida espiritual.

This album is an amazing achievement, & an essential buy for any modern music lover. There are 18 tracks, and the first six are just superb. The choral glory of “The Grants”, the classic Lana del Rey anthem of the title track, the bittersweet melody of “Sweet”, the fascinating meditation of “Judah Smith Interlude”, and the haunting voice and piano of “Candy Necklace” are a wonderful varied mix of great tunes & lyrics. But the crowning glory is the extraordinary “A&W”. A fabulous tune in two contrasting but complementary parts, which manages to be exquisitely touching, tragic, yet utterly beautiful at the same time, in which Lana manages to introduce us to an unforgettable character in just a few strokes of pen and voice, and also capture the drama of lost dreams and dashed hopes which most of us have faced. Musical & lyrical genius. The rest of the album - another 12 songs - is like looking at the sketchbook of a great artist. None are brilliant, but all are interesting and beautifully played; my two favourites are the sweet and wistful “Paris Texas”, and the weird & wonderful “Peppers”, which sounds like an exercise video produced by people high on drugs, with more fabulous lyrics. Buy it, buy it, buy it. If for nothing else, buy it for the truth, beauty and sheer magnificence of “A&W”.
