The musician, who dropped her fifth LP Lust for Life last year, explained the album’s name, and working with Bleachers forntman and Lorde collaborator Jack Antonoff, over on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show. “Working with Jack, I was in a little bit of a lighter mood because he was so funny,” she said. “So the title track is called Norman Fucking Rockwell and it’s kind of about this guy who is such a genius artist, he thinks he’s the shit and he knows it and he won’t shut up talking about it. So often I ended up with these creative types – or not, or whatever – and they just go on and on about themselves and I’m like yeah, yeah. But there’s a little bit of merit to it, also. They are so good. I just like the title track so much that I was like OK, I definitely want the record to also be called that.” Given LDR’s dreamy, Americana-soaked personal brand, Norman Fucking Rockwell seems a pretty apt title in homage to the iconic artist and author. Del Rey also played “Venice Bitch” for the first time, a surfy, 10-minute single from the album. A video has also been released for the track. “I played it for my managers and I was like, ‘yeah, I think this is the single I want to put out’. And they were like, ‘it’s 10 minutes long. Are you kidding me?’ It’s called ‘Venice Bitch’. Like why do you do this to us? Can you make a three-minute normal pop song? I was like, ‘well, end of summer, some people just wanna drive around for 10 minutes, get lost in some electric guitar.’” Last week, Del Rey dropped “Mariner’s Apartment Complex”. The former Dazed cover star also told Lowe that she’s trying to get her pilot’s license, and she’s also learning to sail. She also brought up her poetry once more, stating that she will hopefully release a collection of poetry and short stories with the prospective title Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass.
