An embarrassing however completely unsurprising factor about me is that Lana Del Rey is actually the one artist on my intercourse playlist. That is it – fuck me to “Venice Bitch” or for God’s sake go away me alone. Sure, that is largely a symptom of each my surroundings and the whole lot else about me. I’ve mentioned this earlier than and I will say it once more: as a lady who was uncovered to Born to die throughout her adolescence and undoubtedly appreciated it a little bit an excessive amount of, completely everybody might have seen this coming and nobody might have prevented it.
That mentioned, I humbly beg you to not let my early Lana perspective distract you from the target worth of this sad-girl-chic queen’s discography. The explanation Lana dominates my intercourse playlist is not simply because I am a loyal stan and he or she’s my mother. I am additionally an enormous fan of Taylor Swift, my different mother, and you will not discover me getting imply to “Anti-Hero.” The explanation I believe Lana belongs on each my intercourse playlist and yours is as a result of her music is actually made to get fucked to. So far as I am involved, Lana Del Rey invented intercourse playlists.
I am conscious that I am removed from the primary to note that Lana Del Rey’s music is horny. That is just about her entire deal. However that alone will not be what makes her prolific oeuvre so smashing. Many artists, like actually most mainstream pop artists, TBH, make horny music. Icons like Cardi B, Ariana Grande, and Megan Thee Stallion have blessed us with a few of the most unabashedly attractive lyrics of all time, however I would not essentially contemplate most of their songs very best intercourse playlist materials. Remember I am not knowledgeable music author, however I imagine the technical time period for what makes Lana’s music so totally fuck worthy is the spheres.
Except for simply the lewd poetry of her lyrics and Lana’s entire erotic goddess aesthetic, a lot of her music affords a dreamy, ethereal tone good for lull your self to sleep in that liminal state that brings the mind-and-body excessive of (good ) separates intercourse from on a regular basis consciousness. . Belief me, you have not had intercourse till you have had it with Lana Del Rey.
That can assist you deliver that LDR magic to your individual bed room, I’ve put collectively this listing of her most sex-playlist-worthy songs of all time. Remember that these aren’t essentially her sexiest songs, lyrically or thematically – there is definitely a number of overlap, however that is basically one thing else. Might I mainly put each tune Ms. Del Rey has ever launched on this listing and name it a day? Sure. It is actually fairly exhausting to go mistaken in the case of a Lana intercourse playlist – for those who simply hit shuffle on her Spotify artist web page, you may most likely be wonderful. However not all Lana songs are as worthy to accompany your most intimate moments as others. For that, you need Lana at her dreamiest, her most ethereal, singing her sultry slow-burn songs. This one, to be particular.
Do you know there’s a tunnel beneath Ocean Blvd (2023)
- A&W The songs on this listing are organized by album, not rank. But when this items a rating, “A&W” would nonetheless drop the rattling prime. Particularly because it’s one in all Lana’s most up-to-date releases and thus the one one I care about proper now (notably the road “Your mother referred to as, I informed her you screwed up large time”). But in addition as a result of it has all of the highlights of an ideal tune from a Lana intercourse playlist: prolonged operating time, lyrics too poetic to distract, and a dreamy, ethereal vibe. It is impeccable. No notes.
- Do you know there’s a tunnel beneath Ocean Blvd What can I say? The title monitor Set. The. Present.
Blue banisters (2021)
- Black bathing swimsuit Attempt to inform me that the phrases “You mentioned I used to be dangerous, let me present you the way dangerous ladies do it as a result of nobody does it higher” weren’t meant available intercourse with, I dare you.
- In the event you lie down with me Regular, easy, and pretty seamless transition from “Black Bathing Go well with,” so the tune change should not disrupt the carnal stream you have fallen into – aka the important thing to intercourse playlist success.
- Arcadia I say this very rigorously, however that is maybe… *the* most lovely tune LDR has ever recorded? This one will get into your veins such as you need good intercourse. This tune feels the best way you need good intercourse to really feel.
- Wildflower Wildfire Through which Lana actually lists issues which might be scorching in a hoarse, piano-backed voice. (“Scorching fireplace, scorching climate, scorching espresso…”) So sure, this one goes on the listing.
- Thunder TBH, like an album, Blue banisters is sort of cohesive all through. Most songs, together with this one, move completely into the following and complement one another on any intercourse playlist.
- Dealer Keep in mind what I simply mentioned about just about each tune on this album becoming seamlessly right into a intercourse playlist that does not distract from the move of no matter rhythm you are taking part in? Sure, “Seller” could also be an exception. I personally like it and it has a trippy, vibey really feel to it, good for trippy, vibey intercourse. However for those who really feel like Lana is nearly screaming and singing the phrases “WHY CAN’T YOU BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING?” may spoil the temper a bit, possibly skip this one.
Chemtrails over the nation membership (2021)
I am gonna be actual trustworthy with you Chem trails wasn’t a lot of successful for me as an album, so if there’s an ultra-fuckable monitor from this tune that I missed, that is why, sorry. Do not hesitate to tell me. Nonetheless, there’s one notable exception: the title monitor, Chemtrails over the nation membership. This tune is ideal. This tune sucks. I actually fuck with this tune. OK, on.
Norman fucks Rockwell! (2019)
- Venice bitch Once more, the songs on this listing are usually not ranked. But when it was, you’d finest imagine this one could be primary. You could not prefer it, however that is what the highest Lana Del Rey intercourse playlist materials seems to be like. You may actually play this on repeat on a regular basis. (And with a runtime of just about 10 minutes, you may most likely solely get by way of it a couple of instances, if we’re all trustworthy with ourselves.)
- Rattling, I like you Belief me, “If I wasn’t so fucked up I believe I would fuck you on a regular basis” is simply completely different if you’re really getting fucked.
- Norman rattling Rockwell I imply, this one begins with the phrases, “God rattling it, man youngster, you fucked me so good I nearly mentioned, ‘I like you.'” Sufficient mentioned.
- Hope is harmful for a lady like me Lana is on this fully haunted artist mode – in her phrases, “24/7 Sylvia Plath.” Lyrically, it’s kind of on the darkish aspect, so if listening to one thing like “writing with blood on the partitions” goes to place you off (which is truthful), then this one is likely to be a skip. However in any other case it is Lana at her most ethereal.
- Love tune Doubtlessly value avoiding for those who’re having extraordinarily informal intercourse with somebody who would go loopy doing it with one thing referred to as, nicely, “love tune.” However, somebody who could be loopy about that’s most likely not somebody who needs to be having intercourse with Lana Del Rey in any respect.
- California There’s an intense longing and nostalgia happening right here, which is actually fairly scorching. She goes on the listing!
- Happiness is a butterfly I imply, Norman fucks Rockwell! is de facto simply straight intercourse playlist banger after intercourse playlist banger. This is extra breathy, dreamy Del Rey at her most breathy and dreamy.
Lust for all times (2017)
- Love See: the whole lot I simply mentioned about ‘Love tune’.
- Lust for all times I imply, this one speaks for itself. Additional.
- Summer season bummer That is such an excellent work from a attractive genius that it is likely to be unlawful for me to exclude it from this listing.
- Get free of charge Maybe much less thematically salacious than the remainder of this album, but it surely’s really a five-minute spotlight. Good for if you wish to really feel such as you’re on trippy Summer season of Love shit.
Honeymoon (2015)
- Music to look at guys This quantity is barely a quantity. It is a reverberant sultry daydream of a vibe and the whole lot shall enchant you (in the easiest way).
- God is aware of I attempted See above.
- Excessive At The Seaside If this tune would not transfer you to surrender all of your earthly tasks for a lifetime of drug-driven debauchery by the ocean, then I do not assume we’ll ever perceive one another.
- Loopy A traditional hoarse LDR whisper that invitations you to ‘be a freak’. Say much less, Lana.
Ultraviolence (2014)
- Ultraviolence Warning that this one comprises a voiceover of Lana repeating the phrases, “I like you without end.” So if that is not the temper of the night, finest prevented. There are additionally fairly darkish lyrics that seek advice from bodily violence/abuse, so… content material warning: that.
- Fucked my option to the highest Maybe it is best to keep away from this when you have any purpose to imagine that the particular person you are with is, let’s say, suspicious of your intentions.
- Previous cash See above. Actually, this gorgeous a lot goes for this whole album. (See additionally: “Cash Energy Glory.”)
Born to die (2012)
Fast disclaimer: I’m conscious that for a lot of ladies coming of age within the 2010s (together with myself very clearly), this album performed a elementary function in shaping your id as a sexual being and actually each tune is thus a intercourse playlist- worthy. I see you, I hear you. However to start with, we do not have time for that. Second – and that is for me – however I am unable to in good conscience condone having intercourse with a tune that begins, “My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola.” I am sorry, I simply cannot. Lastly most likely “Born to Die” and “Summertime Unhappiness”. would good intercourse playlist songs are, however they simply are at iconic. Belief me, they’re going to ship you straight again to 2012, and nobody needs to be there once they’re having intercourse like a grown lady in 2023.
- Pc Video games That is it. That is the unique, sultry, petulant Lana all of us fell in love with. “I heard you want dangerous ladies, honey, is that true?” hits the very same factor greater than a decade later, belief.
- On to the races In the event you’re actually making an attempt to channel the sugar daddy fantasy this tune saddled us all with (it is wonderful, admit it), this one’s for you, child.
- Nationwide anthem A lot the identical as above, however JFK is your sugar daddy.
- Physique Electrical That is maybe one in all LDR’s most overtly (and I imply *overtly*) sensual songs. Actual heads will do not forget that within the 2013 quick movie, Tropic, our lady grinds it right down to this one in an nearly bare Adam and Eve fantasy scene. Soooo, sure.
- Are I will admit, “Yayo” wasn’t a lot of successful for me in my adolescence. However after a latest overview for the needs of this text, it instantly landed on my intercourse playlist. So do what you’ll with that data.
- Gods & Monsters I am simply going to go forward and let Lana do the speaking right here: ‘Fuck yeah, give it to me. That is heaven, what I actually need.” Want we are saying extra?
