Two singles preceded the album, the title track, "Blue Banisters", and "Arcadia"; "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" were also released ahead of the album as promotional singles. Blue Banisters peaked at number eight on the US Billboard 200[2] and reached number one in Argentina and the Netherlands.[3] The album received positive reviews from music critics, most of whom complimented Del Rey's introspective lyrics.
Background
editDel Rey released her seventh studio album Chemtrails over the Country Club on March 19, 2021.[4] The next day, she posted on Instagram announcing that an album titled Rock Candy Sweet would be released on June 1.[5] On April 11, Del Rey shared a selfie on Instagram of her looking up to the sky with the caption "Blue Banisters", leading to speculation that it could be a song title.[6][7] On April 28, Del Rey announced the album would be titled Blue Banisters and would be released on July 4, which was later delayed to October 22.[8][9] 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"[10] and to Twitter with the caption: "I'm writing my own story. And no one can tell it but me".[11]
Composition
editMusically, Blue Banisters has been described as a folk, pop,[12] jazz,[13][1] and Americana record.[14] It has been described by The A.V. Club lyrically as her "breakup record",[15] while Spin regards it as an "observational project".[14]
In a March 2023 interview with Rolling Stone UK, Del Rey explained that Blue Banisters was created due to accusations of cultural appropriation and previous claims that she glamourized domestic abuse: "I was just like, 'Let me try and write an album that maybe could explain why, if that was true, let's say, I could potentially identify with certain modes of operating'. So, Blue Banisters was more of an explanatory album, more of a defensive album, which is why I didn't promote it, period, at all. I didn't want anyone to listen to it. I just wanted it to be there in case anyone was ever curious for any information."[16]
Release and promotion
editThe promotion for Blue Banisters was minimal compared to Del Rey's previous releases, mainly due to Del Rey deactivating her social media accounts in September 2021.[17]
Del Rey first revealed cover art for the album on April 28, 2021. The initial album art depicts a selfie that Del Rey had previously posted in August 2020 with a sepia-toned filter. The art was heavily criticized as being unprofessional looking by both fans and critics.[18][19] New official album artwork was revealed via an Instagram post on July 4, 2021, with Del Rey captioning the post "Happy fourth, Album out later". The cover depicts Del Rey sitting on a porch between her dogs, Tex and Mex (who are mentioned in the album's title track).[20] The artwork references Tracy Nelson's album cover for Poor Man's Paradise (1973).[21]
Alternate covers for the album were released on September 8, 2021, alongside the album's track listing and digital and physical pre-orders. Retail chains Target,[22] HMV,[23] and Urban Outfitters[24] revealed their exclusive editions of the record featuring more alternate covers, all photographed by Neil Krug.
On September 3, 2021, Del Rey posted the cover for the single "Arcadia" on her Instagram account and revealed the song would be released the following Wednesday, 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 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."[25] On September 8, 2021, the album's pre-order was released along with "Arcadia", revealing the album would be released October 22, 2021.
Blue Banisters was released on October 22, 2021, by Interscope and Polydor Records.[26][27] 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".[28]
Singles
edit"Blue Banisters" was released as the album's lead single alongside the songs "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" on May 20, 2021.[29] A music video was released for the song.
"Arcadia" was released as the album's second single on September 8, 2021, alongside the album pre-order.[30] Two music videos were released.

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, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[32] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.4 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[31]
The A.V Club's Tatiana Tenreyo stated "[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."[15] Mike Wass of Variety wrote the album "offers a rare glimpse of an artist securing her legacy, one song at a time."[41] For The Independent, Ben Bryant wrote a positive review, calling it "one revelation colours the singer's entire body of work", noting "it is far more elliptical and mysterious than it first appears".[36] Giving the album four out of five stars, Sarah Grant of Rolling Stone commented "Her second album of the year is dense and abstract, turning inward and finding solace in sisterhood."[39] Sam Sodomsky for Pitchfork praised Del Rey's songwriting, noting the record "is a sweeping survey of her talent as a songwriter, stripped of the aesthetic borders she often places around her work."[12] Rhian Daly of NME called Blue Banisters "a defiant and delicate return."[38] In their mixed reviews, The Guardian and The Observer critics stated the album struggled from "samey-ness", wavering quality, and familiar but confusing themes.[35][42]
