Blue Banisters Cover

(2021)

Blue Banisters (originally titled Rock Candy Sweet) is the eighth studio album and seventh major-label studio album by Lana Del Rey. It is expected to be officially released worldwide on July 4, 2021.

Background

The first indication of Del Rey's seventh major-label studio album came via a tweet posted on November 17, 2020, wherein she remarked that she was working on two albums.[1]

On March 15, 2021, four days prior to the release of her sixth major-label studio album Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Del Rey announced she was working on two future music projects in an interview with MusicWeek. When asked about any potential titles she had in mind for the upcoming albums, she replied:

“Spending so much time in a close circle of country music friends, I could see one option for a title coming from that. I also have a secondary title I like that summed up 18 months of my life.”[2]

The day following the release of Chemtrails, Del Rey announced the title of the project, alongside the release date of June 1, 2021.[3]

"Blue Banisters" was revealed as the albums' new title by Del Rey on April 27, 2021, with an official release slated for July 4, 2021.[4]

Inspiration

Appearing on the April 2021 cover of MOJO, Del Rey expressed her interest in the country genre, telling the magazine that she had worked with Nikki Lane, who appeared on the Chemtrails track "Breaking Up Slowly", a cover album of country songs and another album of folk songs. In the article, she went on to describe her taste as "stark and blue, somewhat outlaw", and listed Hank Williams, Bobbie Gentry, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Marty Robbins and Johnny Paycheck as sources of inspiration.[5]

On March 20, 2021, the day of the album's announcement, Del Rey shared two Instagram stories wherein she responded to a Harper’s Bazaar article titled “Lana Del Rey Can’t Qualify Her Way Out Of Being Held Accountable”, writing:

“Just want to say thank you again for the kind articles like this one and for reminding me that my career was built on cultural appropriation and glamorizing domestic abuse. I will continue to challenge those thoughts on my next record June 1 titled Rock Candy Sweet.”

The article was critical of comments made by Del Rey prior to the release of Chemtrails regarding race and inclusivity, specifically calling Del Rey's comment - "I have always been extremely inclusive without even trying to" - "defensive" and "unnecessary".[6] In her post, Del Rey countered that the comment "would have been unnecessary if no one had significantly criticized everything about [Chemtrails Over the Country Club] to begin with. But you did. And I want revenge."[7]
