One of the main criticisms Lana Del Rey has faced is the lack of range and variety when it comes to her songs, but with 'Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,' she’s back to prove everyone wrong. lanadelrey lanadelrey
It’s been two years since Lana Del Rey’s last new album release, and she’s back and better than ever with 2023’s Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
The song itself, whose chorus ends with the powerful line “...This is the experience of bein’ an American whore...'' explores the difficulty with possessing sexuality in a misogynistic society. In the song, she brings up assault, and follows it with the lines, “Do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it? I didn't ask for it. I won't testify, I already fucked up my story.
— The Week on Repeat Charts March 26, 2023 But ...Ocean Blvd Isn't all about “being an American Whore”. The album also explores themes of consumerism, religion, and 60s-70s counterculture; the nearly 5 minute long interlude is a sermon from Megachurch pastor, Judah Smith. In the background, you can hear Del Rey stifling giggles, and both agreeing & disagreeing with the preacher’s words.
