Blue Banisters is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on October 22, 2021, by Interscope and Polydor Records, seven months after her seventh studio album, Chemtrails over the Country Club. The album was produced by Del Rey, Zachary Dawes, Loren Humphrey, Mike Dean, Barrie-James O'Neill, Rick Nowels, and several others.

Two singles preceded the album: the title track "Blue Banisters", and "Arcadia". "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" were also released before the album as its promotional singles. Commercially, Blue Banisters reached number one in Argentina and the Netherlands[1], and charted inside the top 40 elsewhere. It received generally favorable reviews from music critics, most of whom praised Del Rey's introspective songwriting; a few deprecated its monotonous sound and themes.

Background

On March 19, 2021, Lana Del Rey released her seventh studio album Chemtrails over the Country Club.[2] Only a day later, she announced that her next album titled Rock Candy Sweet would be released in June.[3] On April 11, 2021, Del Rey uploaded a short teaser with the caption Blue Banisters to her Instagram.[4] The teaser shows a picture of Del Rey looking up to the sky.[5] On April 28, she took to social media to announce the album, which was slated for release on July 4.[6] Later the same day, Del Rey posted a trailer for the title track and its accompanying music video to Instagram with the caption: "Sometimes life makes you change just in time for the next chapter",[7] and to Twitter with the caption: "I'm writing my own story. And no one can tell it but me".[8] The title track, "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" were released as singles on May 20, 2021.[9]

On July 3, 2021, Del Rey revealed the album cover on her Instagram along with a teaser for an upcoming single, captioned "Album out later later... Single out soonish. Have a good fourth x". The album artwork shows Del Rey sitting on a wooden deck with her dogs Tex and Mex.[10][11] On September 3, 2021, Del Rey posted the cover for the single "Arcadia" on her Instagram account and revealed that the song would be released the following Wednesday, on September 8. A day before the release of the song, Del Rey shared an additional snippet, captioning it with a small written teaser of the album's general themes, mentioning that she's never felt the need to explain her story "but if you’re interested this album does tell it- and does pretty much nothing more."[12] On September 8, 2021, the album's pre-order was released along with "Arcadia", revealing the album is being released October 22, 2021.[13]

Composition

Musically, Blue Banisters has been described as a folk, pop,[14] and jazz record.[15][16] Lyrically, it has been described by the The A.V. Club as her "breakup record."[17]

Release and promotion

Blue Banisters was released on October 22, 2021, by Interscope and Polydor Records.[18][19] On July 3, 2021, Del Rey revealed the artwork for the album, featuring her dogs Tex and Mex, as mentioned in the album's title track. On September 8, 2021, Del Rey revealed the alternate album cover artworks and the track listing of Blue Banisters on Twitter and Instagram, along with digital and physical pre-orders. The same day, retail chains Target,[20] HMV,[21] and Urban Outfitters[22] revealed their exclusive editions of the record featuring more alternate covers, all photographed by Neil Krug. Blue Banisters was released on October 22, 2021, by Interscope and Polydor Records.[23][24] The same day, in promotion of the album, Del Rey appeared on the American late-night talk show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and performed "Arcadia".[25]

Upon release, Blue Banisters received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 21 reviews.[27] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.4 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[26]

The A.V Club's Tatiana Tenreyo stated that "[Blue] Banisters is a reminder that when the singer-songwriter is in charge of her vision and fully taps into her emotions, she's still capable of crafting breathtaking beauty."[17] Mike Wass of Variety wrote the album "offers a rare glimpse of an artist securing her legacy, one song at a time."[36] For The Independent, Ben Bryant wrote a positive review, call it "one revelation colours the singer's entire body of work", noted that "it is far more elliptical and mysterious than it first appears".[31] Giving the album four out of five stars, Sarah Grant of Rolling Stone commented that "Her second album of the year is dense and abstract, turning inward and finding solace in sisterhood."[34] Sam Sodomsky for Pitchfork praised Del Rey's songwriting, noted that the record "is a sweeping survey of her talent as a songwriter, stripped of the aesthetic borders she often places around her work."[14] Rhian Daly of NME called Blue Banisters "a defiant and delicate return."[33] In their mixed reviews, The Guardian and The Observer critics felt the album struggles from "samey-ness", wavering quality, and familiar but confusing themes.[30][37]

Commercial reception

Blue Banisters landed at number eight on the Billboard 200, marking Del Rey's eighth consecutive record to reach the top 10 in the U.S, and her first to miss the top-three since her debut studio album, Lana Del Ray (2010). Blue Banisters earned 33,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week, which consisted of 19,000 album sales and 14,000 streaming units (calculated from an underwhelming 18.6 million on-demand streams of the album).[38] The disappointing amount of sales units may come as a surprise, on account of Ms. Rey being referred to by her fans as the "Queen of Alternative,"[39] and a "streaming force," despite having abysmal sales records. The following week, the album dropped 98 spots to number 106[40] breaking her previous biggest freefall record held by her predecessing album, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, which fell from 2 to 40, 38 spots, in a single week.[41] In the album's ternate week, Blue Banisters fell to number 158, its third and final week of charting.[42]
