Background and recording

edit

Work on the album started shortly after the release of her eighth studio album, Blue Banisters, in October 2021.[1] Lana Del Rey departed from her signature colorful language and world-building, found in her other work, in favor of a conversational style, relying on a process she named "automatic singing".[1] She would sing whatever came to her mind into the voice notes application on her phone, later "sending those really raw-sounding" recordings to composer Drew Erickson, who would add reverb to her vocals, as well as an orchestral instrumental.[1] The first song written for the album, "Fingertips", was recorded this way, with no prior writing.[1]

Del Rey eventually began working with other collaborators. She began working with Mike Hermosa, a prominent collaborator on the album, when he would visit Del Rey and play her piano.[2] Del Rey would hear him play and ask to record to the melody.[2] Towards the end of production, Del Rey brought in previous collaborator, Jack Antonoff, which she revealed was when she felt she was making an album.[2]

There is no known connection to the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard at Sea Mist Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, built in the 1980s but no longer used as of 2022.[3]

Composition

edit

Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is an Americana and alt-pop album by experimenting with a fusion of 'Seventies FM piano pop', hip hop, and dance production,[4][5][6] as well as influences of gospel, folk, trap, electro-jazz, soul, and psychedelic music.[7][8][9] The album is in contrast with Del Rey's traditional approach of "world-building", found in her other work, such as in Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019).[10] Del Rey called the creation of the album "totally effortless", saying that she wanted the music to have "a spiritual element".[10] Produced by Del Rey with frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, Mike Hermosa, Drew Erickson, Zach Dawes, and Benji, the album features guest appearances from Jon Batiste, SYML, Riopy, Father John Misty, Bleachers (led by Antonoff), and Tommy Genesis.[11]

Songs

edit

The album opens with the song "The Grants". Titled after her family name, the song serves as an ode to her family. The song is followed by the album's title track. "Margaret", the thirteenth track, was inspired by Antonoff's fiancée at that time, Margaret Qualley, and features Antonoff's band, Bleachers.[10] "Kintsugi" and "Fingertips" were described by Del Rey as "super long and wordy", containing her "innermost thoughts".[10] The title of "Paris, Texas" is a reference to the 1984 movie of the same name and samples SYML's "I Wanted to Leave". "Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing" samples Riopy's piano track "Flo". The album closes with "Taco Truck x VB," which features an early demo of her 2018 single "Venice Bitch" from Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019).[12] Del Rey described the version of "Venice Bitch" featured on the song as "the grimy, heavy, original and unheard version" of the song.[12]

Artwork

edit

The album artwork was shot by Del Rey's frequent collaborator, Neil Krug, and chosen from 65 different images, including one where the singer appeared nude.[13] Speaking on the decision not to use the nude image, Del Rey said she "wanted to reveal something about myself that I actually thought was beautiful", but later wondered if the decision to appear nude was an artistic expression or would be seen as fulfilling a need to be seen.[10] She ultimately decided against using the photo to "let the songs do the talking for now".[10] The nude image was finally used for a limited vinyl edition.[14]

Release and promotion

edit

Originally slated for a March 10, 2023, release, the album was pushed to March 24 on January 13, 2023, for undisclosed reasons.[15][16] The album's track listing was revealed on January 13, 2023.[17] Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd was issued worldwide on March 24, 2023, in several formats, including vinyl record and cassette tape.[18]

To promote the album, Del Rey made several promotional appearances. The album was announced and made available to preorder on December 7, 2022.[19] Del Rey covered the March 2023 issue of Interview where she was interviewed by Billie Eilish.[10] She was interviewed by Kristin Robinson for a Billboard feature over Del Rey winning the inaugural Visionary Award at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards.[20] Del Rey embarked on a tour in support of the album, during which she headlined several music festivals, including the MITA, Glastonbury, Outside Lands, and Primavera Sound festivals.[21]

Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received a weighted average score of 80, based on 25 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[37] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[36]

In a review for Clash, Robin Murray dubbed the album "an ambitious, at times unsettling record", anchored both in classicism and experimentation, but "never truly succumbs to either."[47] Lucy Harbon of Gigwise called the album Del Rey's magnum opus, and lauded her vocal performance and references to her own past work.[48] Writing for The Guardian, Shaad D'Souza called the album "her quietest, most wilfully inscrutable record" since Honeymoon (2015).[42] Annabel Nugent of The Independent described the album as "sweeping, layered" and "ruminative", pointing out that some of the songs "can be repetitive, but [...] alluring."[43] In a review for NME, Rhian Daly's pointed out that Del Rey "steps into new lyrical territory" in the album, as well as "new sonic worlds", cementing Del Rey as one of modern music's "most intriguing" songwriters.[44] Pitchfork's Olivia Horn named the album "Best New Music". The site also called it a "sweeping, sterling, often confounding work of self-mythology and psychoamericana."[46] Noah Ciubotaru of Exclaim! said, "Beyond simply toggling between different Lana eras, several songs on Did You Know synthesize the personality-driven pop genius and the hyper-specific singer-songwriter, demonstrating how tight a grasp she maintains on her multi-faceted vision and how drastically she's evolved as an artist".[41] Tom Williams of Beats Per Minute gave a positive review, stating, "Like any good, honest work of self-exploration, Ocean Blvd is sprawling [...] and not without the occasionally questionable choice. But the best moments, which abound, solidify Del Rey as one of the all-time greats".[39]

In mixed reviews, Paul Attard of Slant Magazine called the album "one of Del Rey's most obtuse artistic statements to date."[49] Attard criticized the album's duration, calling it "bloated", but praised moments such as "A&W" and "Paris, Texas".[49] The Line of Best Fit writer, Liam Inscoe-Jones opined that the songs are "easily among her most complicated, emotionally", but criticized its interludes, as well as the songs at the end of the tracklist.[50] Lisa Wright of DIY noted that the album is some of Del Rey's best work, but "doesn't always completely land".[51] Regarding the album as style over substance, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph found the album boring and lacking ambition, criticizing the dull production, repetitive themes, "baggy" lyrics, "dreadful" pace, and "shapeless" songs.[40] The Arts Desk critic Thomas H Green said, "It sprawls. It could do with an edit, but as so often when talented musicians sprawl, there are also gems".[52]
