Stevie appears on new Lana Del Rey album

I think this has a lot of potential :)

That's fantastic!
Lana mentioned in an interview a little while ago that her producer Rick Nowels, who as we know had worked with Stevie on RAL, was working with Stevie again, then I guess he's the one to thank for this. If he's going to take Dave Stewart's place then he's already done pretty good.

YOU BEAT ME TO IT!
LOL!
I was just going to post this article!
I LOVE this group!!
We are ON top of it! LOL!

Never really listened to Lana. I know a lot of fans of Stevie are also fans of Lana. I'm interested to hear it!

Yay, another surprise move!

Who knows what is next?

I loved Rick Nowels work with Belinda Carlisle, and I would love it if he was working with Stevie again. Stevie is the one who gave him his big break originally, so it would be awesome to for them to work together again.

Dare I say it... I Can't Wait!

Wow!!! This is freaking fantastic news! I am such a huge Lana Del Rey fan.

OMFG!!!!!!

I love Lana Del Rey!!!!!!! She is my new Stevie Nicks. Her music is all about atmosphere and her last album was her best. I've been playing her new single over and over.

This makes me forgive Stevie a little. I have all Lanas albums. YES!!!

Very excited for this!

Lana's last album was critically acclaimed. It wasn't her biggest but critics loved it and I think it was her best. Rick produced it.

This is cool news. I'm not super familiar with Lana Del Rey, but I LOVE her version of Once Upon a Dream on the Malificent soundtrack. Really haunting.

When I saw this on FB I assumed it was fake news. I am beyond thrilled. I am a huge Lana fan. She definitely has the mysterious vibe going on. Can't wait to hear this song!

I'm not the biggest Lana fan but I bet this will be good. SN will probably be on some low harmonies, is my prediction.

Rick Nowels has done lots of cool stuff, Private Dancer album for Tina Turner, to name just one.

Yeah, I bet (hope) this turns out to be good. Something mysterious hopefully, as opposed to the Southern Promises cover SN guested on a couple of years ago. Which was certainly good (and likely relevant for Nicks) but not quite the moody atmospheric thing I'm always hoping for from her.

Ah well, I buy it either way.

It was actually Rupert Hine.. the producer of TOSOTM that did Private Dancer.

I believe Rick's first actual production work was for Rock a Little, specifically I Can't Wait. Belinda Carlisle said in an interview that Stevie recommended Rick to Belinda, and he produced and wrote most of her second album Heaven on Earth, which featured most of Belinda's hits and really put him on the map.

I know Stevie and Rick have remained friends and still collaborate together. I'm also quite certain that Rick Nowels is the one Stevie wrote the special thanks for in Rock a Little... something like "it's not easy to track a ghost through the fog, so thank you."

Somehow I have a feeling that quite a few of us that were disenchanted with her for not participating in a new Fleetwood Mac album will be in a forgiving mood once we hear the Buckingham/McVie album. I'm betting that the album she skipped town to do while the other members of FM were in Los Angeles working on the aborted Fleetwood Mac album will be a masterpiece in comparison .

The first BM single "In my World" is horrible. It sounds like a bad Buckingham solo song and you cannot even hear Christine.

IMHO it is still better than the second single " Feel About You" even with Christine on it ..not a good sign.

I'm so excited for this collab.

Thanks, you're right. I was thinking of Rick working on RAL.

I cancelled my pre-order.
I'm going to legally stream the album on my paid Google Play subscription when it's released before I decide on a purchase.

SAME! BTD paradise WAS my fave
but Honeymoon omg i can listen to it every day.

my wish was for them to collab.
i would never have thought it would actually happen tho <3

i listened to that spotify clip
and it was so tinny it hurt my ears.
i want to like it
but no.

Honeymoon is my favorite. It was one of the most atmospheric albums I've listened to. Have great hopes for new album. Love the title track.

Well - nice to see positive response to this idea. I know that some people don't like Lana but I don't mind her. 'Video Games' was one of my favourite songs from the year it came out. I heard it before I saw what she looked like or knew she was, and it really caught my attention. So it was her sound that hooked me first - not her image.

They're both altos/contraltos, both a bit eccentric and spooky. Looking forward to it. Actually think Stevie is probably better off doing this - moving forward, doing something new - rather than treading over old ground again with FM.

Stevie and Lindsey have been on the road together so much and that can't be easy at times with an ex. Probably quite sick of each other at times and need a break from being tied together.

Would not have thought Stevie would be attracted to Lana's melodramatic style but I'm definitely going to give this song a chance! I loved Born to Die and Paradise but her last few albums have fallen flat for me.:distress: Stevie and Lana have such different voices and styles that it's hard to imagine them working together.

...yet she couldn't go into the studio with FM. Even for backround vocals. :shrug::shrug::shrug:

A friend in Paris just posted this track list! Take it with a grain of salt in case it's not real. I had to edit the image so I could upload it here. However, it appears that the song Stevie contributes to on the new album is called, 'Smoke and Mirrors'!

OMG This cannot get any better for me! Not only is there a Stevie collaboration but she is also doing a song with Marina & The Diamonds who I really, really love! Let's hope this info is accurate.

Smoke and Mirrors! Cool title. 😎

Her last album was her best. It was on a bunch of critics top 20 list of best albums of the year. Already, the title track is great. I cannot wait for this.

Hey, guys...it looks wonderful, but I will believe it when it really comes out. The one thing we know for sure is that Stevie is on the album because we see it from multiple news sources.

I wonder who wrote it. Smoke and Mirrors doesn't sound like a Stevie title.

But I'd say it could very well sound like a Lana del Rey song title. Actually I'd say the "Mirror" part is very Stevie while the smoke part is probably very Lana?

This, completely!! Definitely could be a co write, and the title is very Lana. I'm a huge fan of her's so this is very exciting to me!

lol looking forward to the new crop of hipster stevie fans, first they came from AHS, now lana del ray, i wonder what'll be next

Maybe she can join the Fleet Foxes:lol:

Speaking of American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy, its creator also created Feud. The first season was about Betty Davis and Joan Crawfords feud. Since we know he is a fan of Stevie's, let's hope that one of the seasons will be about Stevie and Lindsey's feud.

Right ..they can start holding auditions at Night of 1,000 Stevies to find someone to play her.
