For Lana Del Rey fans... this video is a bit longer than it needs to be and I talk a little more ab The Weeknd than Lana. Its definitely my fault and apologies to those who were expecting something else. My structuring of videos are usually aimed at a casual fan who might not know of the artist, I try to show what people think of the artist and then I build them up so people will understand who these artists are at a surface level and it happens that I managed to explain Lana in a more time efficient way than The Weeknd.
Lana did not “fall off” her longetivity is insane, she’s been charting on the BB 200 for OVER 400 weeks, she’s been named artist of the decade by Variety, and has been the number 1 longest charting female artist in HISTORY. Also her latest album broke the record for most number 1 alternative charts.
yeah... i think this has to do with Lana initially being more mainstream and her being a pop artist whereas the weeknd was an R&B singer that was influenced by hiphop early on so the reception reflected that... once pop got darker lana got more praise and the weeknd was able to transition into a more mainstream audience
@@asa_rayder yeah... It was crazy for me to go back and see how weird some of the criticisms for Born to Die were at the time especially cause I've never thought of the album as a bad one
The video I've been waiting for all this time.I love the interaction of Lana and Abel, it shows that they have an appreciation for each other since both she and he could develop their musical career together.In particular, The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey have worked together a few times. And The Weeknd once admitted just how important Del Rey is to his music.
lana del rey said in an interview that the Weeknd posted her homemade version of video games she uploaded on youtube to his tumbler and that it got the attention of a radio station in London and they would play it once everyday and she contributes that to it going viral
On the surface, The Weeknd and Del Rey might seem like very different artists. After all, The Weeknd’s music hip hop and soul sound feels more in line with someone like Ariana Grande. Meanwhile, Del Rey’s career lives much more in line with rock-infused pop. However, the two artists are much more similar than the genres of their music might reveal. For instance, The Weeknd and Del Rey both often capture a dream-like quality in their songs. In addition, their lyrical content dips into dark territory, such as their preoccupation with drug references. So it makes sense they would work well together. And so they have. Beginning with The Weeknd’s 2015 single “Prisoner,” they’ve worked together on five songs. Although the Grammy Awards have yet to bestow a trophy to Del Rey, her work certainly makes a huge impact on The Weeknd. In fact, the “Blinding Lights” singer once revealed just how vital she is to his own music. In a 2015 interview with Pitchfork, The Weeknd explained the interconnected nature of Del Rey’s music and his own. “Me and Lana have been friends for a long time. I’ve inspired her. She’s inspired me. I feel like we’ve always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music. It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on the whole [Beauty Behind the Madness] album. Even the whole monologue intro on “Lonely Star” from [my 2011 mixtape] Thursday - I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice. I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her. It’s who she is. She was definitely the first feature that I wanted to bring on this album.” The Weeknd and Del Rey are more than just collaborators, it seems. The pair’s music - according to The Weeknd - is spiritually linked. Perhaps this revelation puts into context not only the collaborations between these two but their respective catalogs as well.
Yeah... I'm more informed on the weeknd's side of things didn't want to misspeak and had to structure the video for it to be more entertaining for a casual fan rather than people who are fans of one or the other... that's why I didn't really go deeply into any albums... still tho the video is ab 3 minutes of Lana 3 minutes and 30 of the weeknd and then the rest is time they spend together
Oh btw Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd made a collab on the UV Track of "Money, Power, Glory" back in 2013/14, but it did not make the final cut, but it has been leaked so you can listen to it if you want to.
@@KingBenny A version without The Weeknd did get officially released. Lana del Rey has a lot of unreleased songs. Hundreds upon hundreds of unreleased songs as well as demos that did not make the final cut
You know, I was honestly interested to what information you had for this explanation, but this research video could have easily been explained by showing that little clip from Abel’s interview with Zane Lowe… In the nicest and most blunt way possible to let you know, I learned absolutely nothing from this video other than Abel is amazing and Lana is controversial. But why is she controversial? What makes Abel amazing? Are these information crucial to the topic of the video?
Plus I didn't try to focus on why lana is controversial bc I honestly don't know why even in seeing people's argument... it was more so I could build up Lana as the video went on and show parallels in their careers
Okay dude clearly I don't think you are really big into the weeknd you called kiss land Wanderlust there is a song on that album called that but the album is called kiss land and real OG xo fans love that album it not weak album to us also its very simple to sum up Lana Del Rey and the weeknd relationship as far as working together both of them is said that they was talking to each other in their music otherwise the weeknd said she is the girl in my music and she has said he is the guy in her music that's why she said my Boyfriend's Back in lust for life he is the king of dark R@B and she is the queen of dark R@B
Im a bigger weeknd fan than most artist... I feel ab kissland how I feel ab yeezus by kanye... Fans love it, I don't. If I talk ab yeezus I'm not gonna ignore the fact that it was critically not received well up until like 2 yrs ago... Sure weeknd and Kanye fans may love these albums but ppl outside the fan base dont and more importantly I don't so its not like I'm gonna fake an opinion.... ngl tho its pretty funny that I called it wanderlust and didn't catch it tho lol I go deeper into Kissland and why I didn't like it in this video although I don't talk ab it a lot bc I don't rly care ruclips.net/video/qB507MMZPAg/видео.html

Didn't say she did fall off... said she gets the "you fell off" treatment... 2 different things
While the Weeknd was praised for his darker lyrical content, Lana was criticized. 💀
yeah... i think this has to do with Lana initially being more mainstream and her being a pop artist whereas the weeknd was an R&B singer that was influenced by hiphop early on so the reception reflected that... once pop got darker lana got more praise and the weeknd was able to transition into a more mainstream audience
@@KingBenny initial Lana was considered too different and alternative but now Born to Die is considered as pop! She was truly ahead of her time.

Kissland is a masterpiece. Go on a walk and listen to it from start to finish.
Maybe... I'll give it like a couple of yrs before I go back to it
Born to die spent almost 300 weeks on billboards top 200
Also half this video is about the weekend 💀 like ummm ok

@@KingBenny dude gave very respectful and constructive criticism, many ppl, especially online are dicks.
fire video
Thank you for giving it a chance and enjoying it
Reading these comments u should really make a second part or some video talking about lana more in depth haha
No.

You can praise Abel without bringing Lana down.
I praise Lana a lot in the video...
