Norman fucking RockwellLana Del Rey

Norman fucking RockwellLana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey, a singer-songwriter from New York, describes her own genre as “sadcore,” and true to that label, she has released many deeply melancholic songs.

Her musical style is perfect for September, a month that carries a sense of wistfulness.

A work I especially recommend is Norman Fucking Rockwell.

While its melodies evoke soft rock and dream pop, it’s by no means cheerful; it fully embodies what she calls “sadcore.” Its poignant melodies are perfect for autumn.

Off To The RacesLana Del Rey

When people think of figure skating, many imagine elegant and gentle music.

However, “Off to the Races” subverts that image with a stylish, dark melody.

The singer is Lana Del Rey, who excels at songs with a moody, dark atmosphere, such as baroque pop and sadcore.

Although the track is dark and subdued, its powerful structure makes it an excellent match for ice dance and figure skating.

The greatestLana Del Rey

When it comes to Lana Del Rey, many of us strongly associate her with being a singer-songwriter who sings songs steeped in sorrow—so much so that she openly describes her own musical style as “sadcore.” This track is included on her August 2019 album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!.

Listening with the knowledge that Lana, a New York native, moved her base to California and found success there may inspire a range of feelings.

The sense of longing she expresses for a bygone America stirs a similar nostalgia in us Japanese listeners as well.

John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” In Japan, it’s also widely known as “Country Road.” The singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey has covered this famous song that everyone knows.

Her slightly husky voice enhances the song’s wistful, melancholic feel.

It’s a piece almost everyone has heard, but I think you’ll sense a different kind of charm in her version.

It’s also nice to compare it with the original and the Japanese version.
