    For me, Blue Banisters it's the most personal album for Lana. First thing that we need to look with atencion is that she use some of her old songs, like Thunder and Nectar of the gods. Then, there's a song that she sings about quarantine, body changes and her relationship with her mother. Other song tells us about the daughter that she never had.

No one tells a story like her. An astonishing piece of work. Bravo. Expand

With old songs like ‘Cherry Blossom’, ‘Dealer’, ‘Thunder’, ‘Living Legend’ and ‘Nectar of The Gods’ she manages to tie her past songs, aesthetics and experiences into the modern Del Rey, she sings about the present ‘grenadine quarantine’ which she doesn’t often do.

    While the days of Born to Die have long since passed, Lana Del Rey is still seeking paradise, closer now than ever as she turns her search inward, seemingly recognizing that paradise is ultimately found within the best of oneself. Still, if there is indeed a physical Arcadia to be revealed, it has not emerged in its entirety on Blue Banisters. That said, its intoxicating hints are enough to keep seekers thirsty.
