The effect is that of a slow pan, the frame creeping outward from Del Rey and stretching gently towards the horizon.

Her songs overflow with the iconography of America at its most mythic: purple mountains’ majesty, rockets’ red gleaming, Monroe, Manson.

Bowie was adamant about not taking the spotlight away from Pop, often staying behind his keyboard and not addressing the audience.

On April 19, BBC Radio 1 premiered Del Rey's new song, " Lust for Life", featuring singer the Weeknd. This spontaneous lyrical method inspired Bowie to improvise his own words on his next studio album "Heroes" (1977). So, the seller wasn't completely honest in his announce, but I think that it was a unintentional mistake, maybe he had forgot to check twice his CD.

The tour began on January 5, 2018, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and further includes shows in North America, South America, Australia and Europe. It received little promotion from RCA, primarily due to the death of Elvis Presley two weeks earlier, whose catalog the label was adamant on reissuing.About the album, Del Rey stated "I made my first 4 albums for me, but this one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed. He later noted that of the two, he preferred Lust for Life "because it's faster and more assertive—which means, among other things, that the nihilistic satire is counteracted by the forward motion of the music itself". Del Rey talked about the reasoning for not including those tracks during the interview Beats 1 Radio. That impulse towards a communal understanding of her universe appears most obviously in songs like “God Bless America - And All the Beautiful Women in It” and “When the World Was At War We Kept Dancing,” two pared-down folk ballads with souped-up low ends (the former includes instrumentation by Metro Boomin, with errant gunfire punctuating the chorus).

For Tonight, Bowie covered three of Pop's tracks, including two off Lust for Life: "Neighborhood Threat" and "Tonight", which he dueted with singer Tina Turner and removed the opening drug-related lines, [71] and "Don't Look Down" from New Values. In a contemporary review, Rolling Stone critic Billy Altman considered that "purely on its own terms, Lust for Life is a successful album", but complained that Pop's "new stance is so utterly unchallenging and cautious". Del Rey also collaborated with various producers that she hadn't worked with on previous releases, including hip-hop producers Boi-1da, Hector Delgado, Metro Boomin and Jahaan Sweet.
